Canadian Manufacturer Goes With A Custom Schubox

/in , ,

With over 10,000 employees in 40 countries this client is part of one of the largest groups of businesses involved in the plastics and steel sectors.

 

Their vinyl and metal manufacturing processes are state-of-the-art, employing high-tech cutting, punching, painting and Schubox drying  and curing machinery. The fully-automated insulating glass line applies the dual-seal warm-edge foam Edgetech Super Spacer system. Superior quality dual-glazed LowE (emissivity) glass filled with argon gas in the airspace provides the utmost in energy efficiency. It blocks UV rays, decreases condensation, and reduces heat loss while minimizing outside noise infiltration.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Schubox gas catalytic infra red drying system is a custom build to satisfy not only their throughput, but also their dimensions. With record drying times of their wet coatings, at low temperatures, the Schubox has become an instant success.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The profiles are either hand sprayed or get processed through an automatic spray line, loaded onto trolleys and then straight into the Schubox system for rapid curing.

New And Old At Virtuoso

/in , , ,

Schuberts have just installed a turn-key Giardina autospray line at Virtuoso Doors as well as their older manual finishing system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The philosophy of the new line was borne out of extensive testing and trials at our Sheffield Test Centre and proved to the customer there was only one solution that would work.

 

A cantilevered loading table at the start of the line starts the process, followed by infeed conveyor and then mechanical brushing with the brilliant flex-trim systems. The brushing machine has oscillation, speed, direction and height controls as well as a vacuum bed. This ensures the best surface preparation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After brush sanding, there is an open section to allow application of prep-clean liquid before the cleaning and de-ionising process.

 

The spray machine 420 dry is fitted with 2 circuits and Wagner pumps and guns to give a consistent and even coverage of the coatings. This machine is processing full size doors as well as components.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once sprayed, the products enter a flash-off tunnel, with incoming air is filtered, the air warmed to 30c and the paint vapours extracted to atmosphere.

 

After the flash-off, the products go through a jetted air tunnel at 45-50c for drying.

 

This new Giardina line from Schuberts goes hand in hand with the original manual system consisting of sprayshop enclosure with full autobalance, flash-off, Schubox drying system and paint mixing room.

New 420 Automatic Spray Machine Launched

/in , , , ,

Schuberts presents the Giardina “Dualtech 420”, the first stage of the renovation process that will affect the entire range of “Dualtech” automatic through-fee spraying machines, a technology that represents fifty years of experience in spray painting in the name of quality, reliability, flexibility and ease of use.


Among the most interesting technical features the two opposing painting arms that guarantee an optimal application both on the surface and on the edges of the panel and the technology for the recovery of the paint that falls on the conveyor belt and the cleaning system of the latter, solutions that have no equal in terms of very low consumption of the cleaning solvent, a longer life of the belt, and a high simplicity of operation.


Each machine in the “Dualtech” range can be equipped with accessories and technological solutions to further increase flexibility, productivity, and reliability, such as the quick gun exchange system “Dualfast”, which allows you to change guns – and consequently the spraying cycle – in less than 60 seconds or the automatic vertical positioning system of the guns, or the electronic control of the ventilation inside the spray chamber, perfect for extending the efficiency and operating time of the sprayer.

New Giardina Auto-Spray Line Installed For A Very Special Use

/in , , ,

One of the worlds largest manufacturers of engineered sealing solutions has taken delivery of a custom width Giardina coating line from Schuberts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Built to a working width of 1500mm, this line sprays a very accurate layer of product, recovers all the overspray, to be filtered and used again and then dried inside an inline drying tunnel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The automatic belt cleaning system on the spray machine means that all overspray is recovered. It then passes through filters and back into a constant mixing stainless steel tank, before being dosed back into the machine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The automatic guns are positioned inline and fitted with very accurate nozzles and the machine has the ability to control flow, pressure and therefore build-up of coating.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once sprayed, the product goes into a high speed jetted air oven, connected to in-line waterheaters and heat exchanges so the oven can run at a steady 70-80c irrespective of the factory temperature.

 

Running at 6m/min, this really is a special fully automatic Giardina spray line supplied by Schuberts!

Cobra, Toronto, Trust Schuberts And Giardina For A Flexible Finishing System

/in , , , ,

 

 

 

 

One of Canada’s leading manufacturers of wood, steel and GRP doors has recently taken delivery of a new Schuberts manual finishing system and a Giardina automatic spray machine integrated into one special plant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The entire system comprises of a manual spray shop enclosure, flash-off zone, Schubox drying system, paint mixing room, Giardina 416 automatic spray machine, infeed and outfeed conveyors with filtered air systems.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the customer has volumes of doors and components to spray in one colour, they use the Giardina machine, offload onto trolleys in the flash-off, allow the coating to flow out and then put the trolleys into the Schubox for drying. The guns and pumps have been fitted by and the whole installation looked after by our working partner in Canada, Yorke Towne Supplies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On smaller volumes, special colours or coatings and 3D products, they hand spray in the spray shop enclosure, then flash-off and then into the Schubox for curing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This client works with multiple substrates (wood, GRP, PVC etc) and multiple types of 1k, 2k, water and solvent coatings, so truly a universal hybrid finishing system.

TFT USA Choose Schuberts As Their Finishing System Supplier

/in , , ,

TFT, USA, based in Charlotte NC, have had a complete finishing system installed from Schuberts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The system comprises of a custom built finishing line and cutting/sanding room. All to ATEX, UL and FM standards.

 

Designed for steel fabrications, wood, PVC, fibreglass doors (GRP) and a whole host of other substrates, this is a truly flexible finishing system.

 

Products are either hung on the overhead track and suspended from above or taken inside on trolleys and sprayed on turn-tables.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The spray shop enclosure features full HMI control, automatic booth balancing system, filtered air input and benefits from local HARU, meaning the temperature and cleanliness of the spray shop is maintained at all times.

 

Once coated, the pieces are taken into the flash-off zone to flow out and vent prior to rapid curing in the Schubox catalytic IR drying system.

The Schubox, running at 38-45c pulls the carrier out of the coating very quickly, without affecting the substrates.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the Schubox, the pieces are either de-nibbed or ready for further processing.

 

A paint mix room has been installed for the intermediate storage of coatings, accurate mixing and colour matching.

 

The cutting/clean room is a separate installation for cutting, cleaning, wiping down and de-nibbing or de-burring on Sandbox downdraft tables.

Composite Door Manufacture Installs Second Schubert Finishing System

/in ,

The UK’s fastest growing and probably best-know producer of composite GRP doors has taken delivery of a second turn-key bespoke finishing system from Schuberts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The line incorporates an overhead conveyor track, spray shop clean room with filtered air input and extract, flash-off zone and Schubox drying technology.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once prepped and cleaned, the doors are hung onto the conveyor and moved into the spray shop for coating. Both the air input and extraction are inverter driven, giving a balanced air flow irrespective of the condition of the filters. The sensors fitted to the spray shop will even tell the operators when to change the filters.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The flash-off section allows the coating to flow and settle before going into the catalytic IR zone for rapid drying in about 45 minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once dried, the products are taken off the line and moved into the rest of the factory production system.
