MDF Producer installs Giardina Spray Line and Schubox Drying System

/in , ,

With over 100 different profile sections to deal with, a new coating and drying system has been installed by Schuberts to keep up with a massive increase in high quality painted MDF and timber. From 20mm to 300mm widths and up to 4600mm long, the new system will deal with it all.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The new system comprises of a brush sanding machine, connected to a Giardina profile spray machine, all running at 35m/min. The 1VE spray machine in fitted with Wagner spray equipment and will do a full colour change in around 5 minutes and is able to deal with 1k or 2k coatings. 1k coatings can be recovered, filtered and blended back into virgin paint.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once sanded, the profiles are then coated with waterbased 1k paint, taken off and loaded onto trolleys.

The trolleys are then placed into a custom dimension Schubox for rapid and safe curing of the coatings at 30-34c. Drying the paint at low temperature and quickly with the gas catalytic IR technology means no fibre raise, no damage to the coating and no movement in the MDF or timber.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The new system doubles production rates, dries coatings in a quarter of the time it used to and gives a much higher end quality.

Giardina Profile Spray Line Installed For Door Producer

/in , ,

A new Giardina profile automatic spray line has been installed at one of the UK’s largest producers of timber doors and door sets.

New Giardina Multilevel Vertical Dryer For Profiles Installed

/in

A new Giardina Finishing custom-made high speed vertical oven has been installed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The system is designed for high quality exterior coatings on solid wooden profiles, up to 6500mm long x 300mm wide.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the infeed of this multi-level cross transfer, a stacking machine creates a ‘batch’ of pieces (1250mm wide) on each level, one at a time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The 10 levels of fully motorised chains, move the batches along the oven.

 

At the end of the oven, after the drying cycle, another stacking machine collects up one batch at a time and deposits it on the unloading level (11th); here, another group of motorised chains and belts singularize the pieces on a outfeed roller conveyor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This oven gives a 50 minutes drying time at a speed of 11 pieces per minute (70m/min lineal line speed!), thanks to the 100 metre long transfer chains.

 

The complete system, shown in the pictures, has been installed on a roof/terrace to save space inside the main factory and has its own air handling/heating system.

High End Bespoke Producer Installs A New Schuberts Installation

/in , ,

A leading British manufacturer of exquisite bespoke furniture, cabinetry and specialist joinery has installed a finishing system from Schuberts. Craftmanship, attention to detail and peerless service are central to the company’s ethos and has ensured successful collaborations with eminent private, professional and commercials clients worldwide.

 

With finishes ranging from 1k solvent, 2k solvent, waterbased and specialist coatings, the client is at the top end of the industry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The new, totally bespoke finishing system, includes for twin spray shops, paint mix room/storage room and drying room.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All elements of the installation are ATEX rated for solvent use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each zone has it’s own filtered air input system, ensuring that the zones are kept free from contamination. The spray zones work with auto-balance inverter driven fans, ensuring that dust and contamination is kept out of the rooms when the doors are open, or the filters start to clog. The HMI touch screen tells the operators the condition of the filters and air pressures.

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.

Schuberts And Giardina, Painting The Future!

UK Timber Door Manufacturer Goes the Schubox Route

/in , ,

One of the UK’s market leading supplier of wooden doors and associated products has just installed a new finishing system from Schuberts.

Their brand name can be found in the most prestigious names in the Builders Merchants and Retail sectors across the UK with in excess of 400,000 internal and external doors sold per year.

 

The new system comprises of two custom dimension centrifugal spec spray booths with canopies, lighting and custom duct work, plus a new custom Schubox gas catalytic infra red drying system. The input air is pre-filtered through capture and hold filters in the spray shop sliding doors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The doors are pre-sanded, base-coated in the spray booths, dried in the Schubox, then denibbed, top-coated and back into the Schubox one final time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Typical Schubox drying times with their high-build waterbased coatings are just 30 minutes at 35c, cutting previous drying times down from 3-4 hours per coat!
