Component Flow Coating Line For Joinery

New flow-coating profile line for waterbased preservatives has been installed at a UK joinery manufacturer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This profile coating line is capable of processing beading all the way through to large timber sections. The waterbased coating is applied through a series of directional low pressure nozzles. Any over spray is collected, filtered and put back into the system, so there is zero liquid wasted in the system. All the internals of the machine are moplan and teflon coated.

All of the parameters can be controlled on the HMI screen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once coated, the timber is subjected to a series of adjustable air jets that blow the excess coating off but leaves the timber damp. This is key to allow the preservative to soak into the timber for 10 minutes after application.

 

The timber is removed from the end of the line, placed on drying racks and dried properly using gas catalytic infra red technology.

Door Manufacturer Trusts In Schuberts

A well-known UK door manufacturer has just invested in a custom-built manual finishing system from Schuberts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Full manual spray enclosure, filtered air input and extraction system with clean-booth auto-balance technology.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The curing of the gloss coatings is carried on in the Schubox, gas catalytic infrared technology, with coatings cured in 40 mins at 38c, ready for working after coming out.

Glass Coater Goes Schubert Route

Not all our installations are large or high-value ones….

Here we have a modest manual installation for a glass coater.

The equipment comprises of a manual spray shop enclosure and a retro-fitted Kit-Cat drying system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once sprayed in their waterbased coatings, the glass is put into the drying zone, fitted with gas catalytic infrared. This means the drying time is vastly reduced, the coating is properly dried and the ‘open time’ for dust and contamination is down to 20 mins.

Joinery Manufacturer Installs New Schuberts Finishing System

Another lovely custom finishing installation handed over for a specialist manufacturer of sash windows, frames and doors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The bespoke wooden window manufacturer is using high quality waterbased coatings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spray shop enclosure with filtered air input system, flash-off, Schubox drying system, overhead conveyor and hydrostat controlled humidification system for the whole area.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quality, throughput and process control all more than tripled with the new system.

Casket Manufacturer Goes For Schubox Curing. Again.

One of the most recognisable manufacturers of caskets in the UK and had their second Schubox drying system installed successfully.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Producing up to 600 coffins per week, they pride themselves on quality of manufacture and finish of the coatings.

 

Every product is made using the newest and most environmentally safe processes and with the volumes they produce, the older Schubox was saturated with work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The new Schubox, a custom build, features bi-fold doors, flameless gas catalytic IR emitters and a filtered air movement system to drive off the carrier of the coating in record time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Processing 8 coffins with just a 20 minute drying time will make a massive difference to the throughput and quality of the end product.

 

 

 

UK Timber Door Manufacturer Goes the Schubox Route

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!
