New Giardina Full Spray Line Installed

/in , ,

A well-known UK  manufacturer of wooden and timber components has taken delivery of a custom Giardina spray and drying line from Schuberts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All of the production trials were carried out at the Schuberts Test Centre near Sheffield to define correct film weights, flash-off times, drying temperatures and energy required. The coating is a special knot-blocking, 100% waterbased coating, so drying was key to the process.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Double, quick change circuits are fitted to the Giardina spray machine, with Wagner pumps and GA4000 auto guns, meaning rapid colour changes, flushes and consistent film weights applied.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The drying tunnel allows for adjustable flash-off length, controllable jetted air from a hot water feed and infra-red from 0% to 100%.

Powder Coating Gas Catalytic IR System Installed

/in , ,

A new Schuberts gas catalytic IR powder green-cure tunnel system has just been installed, replacing a make-shift electric IR system.

All manufactured in-house and installed by our skilled engineers in less than 5 days, commissioned and handed over to a fantastic customer after testing and training.


With full control over each individual emitter via the HMI touchscreen, the customer can control energy at specific points within the system, or indeed turn off individual emitters according to size of piece, speed of line or type of powder being used.

This customer can now gel their powder on a line, running their overall powder coating system much faster, at a fraction of the energy cost of other technologies.

Overhead Conveyor System and Schubox Finishing System For Joinery Manufacturer

/in , ,

A leading UK joinery manufacturer has taken delivery of an overhead conveyor system and custom Schubox CIR drying system from Schuberts.

An open-fronted spray booth was relocated along the factory wall, with steel work supports and manual tracking system.
