Teknos UK Invest With Schuberts

Teknos GBI, have just installed a full production-spec finishing systems from Schuberts.

 

Based at their new Bicester HQ, Teknos are the proud owners of both manual and automatic coating systems.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The manual setup comprises of a spray shop enclosure with filtered air input and air balance system, flash-off zone, Schubox catalytic IR drying system, paint mixing room and overhead conveyor track, plus a cutting room with filtered air in and out and a Sandbox de-nibbing bench. This setup will allow Teknos and their customers to run solvent or waterbased coating systems for joinery, kitchens, PVC, GRP, glass etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The automatic equipment is aimed at both profiles and panels. The Giardina profile line has in-line sanding, automatic spray machine and trolleys. Drying can be done in the Schubox, jetted air, electric IR or UV. This profile line will accept anything up to 300mm wide and any length, down to 500mm. The Giardina roller-spec line contains hot jetted air, electric IR and a separate UV tunnel.

Schuberts Install Catalytic IR Drying Into Armarii (AI) UK

 

 

 

 

 

 

25 years’ experience of delivering high-quality, bespoke contract furniture solutions to architects, developers, specifiers and interior designers have helped to make Armarii the UK’s leading contract furniture manufacturer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Along with a Giardina autospray machine, Armarii have invested with Schuberts for a bespoke Kit-Cat gas catalytic IR drying system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The system uses gas catalytic IR that produces heat and long wave infra-red to cure wet product very quickly in a fraction of the time of hot air or electric infra-red.

 

A dedicated drying room was installed directly after the Giardina Dualtech automatic spray machine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wet product is sprayed automatically in the Dualtech 415 machine, loaded onto drying racks and transferred into the IR drying room. The temperature inside is variable, but will run at around 35c. Corner ventilation allows vapours to be extracted and air movement to recirculate around the room.

Giardina Profile Coating Line Installed At Timber Door Producer

A new Giardina profile finishing line has been installed by Schuberts at a well known timber and PVC fabricator.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The line consists of infeed conveyor, brush-sanding machine, profile spray machine, automatic stacking system and drying trolleys.

 

Timber, anything up to 300mm width x 4000mm length can be fed down the profile line by hand, thereafter it is fully automatic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The multi-headed brush sanding machine is fitted with Flex-trim heads to give an optimal pre-sand and intercoat denibbing. All heads on the sanding machine can be angled, rpm altered and direction of rotation changed, all depending on the substrate and quality required.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Giardina profile spray machine features double fluid lines, filtered air input and extraction, collection tanks for overspray and 4 automatic spray guns. As the product passes into the spray machine, the piece is ‘read’ and the guns actuate on and off automatically, giving an even and regular coat of paint.

 

Once coated, the product is then transferred to the stacking system, where the wet profiles are taken and loaded into each arm of a drying rack. This is done fully automatically from top to bottom, with random length and width pieces being no issue for the stacker to deal with.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The complete Giardina line runs at 30m/min and can process over 12,000 lineal metres of profiles per shift, single pass with just 2 operators and will pay for itself in 18 months.

Schuberts Install a New Giardina Automatic Glass Spray System at Esquire Glass

Founded in 1970 Esquire Glass has become one of the UK’s leading independent glass processors.

Their core business is in the production of processed glass panels for the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom industry. However, since 2002 substantial investment in a second factory and ‘state of the art’ glass processing plant has led to the company’s accelerated growth into new markets.

Their newest investment has been on a cutting edge finishing system from Giardina Group and their UK partners, Schuberts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Running with waterbased coatings, the new Giardina system is capable of using both solid and far more difficult metallic colours. Fitted with 2 independent spray circuits, the switch between colours and coatings is very quick, meaning the customer can do both long and short runs of glass. All of the Wagner guns have the ability to run different tips and pressures, making the coating control very accurate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Dualtech 416 machine has full belt overspray recovery system, meaning wasted coating can be safely removed from the main belt, filtered and re-introduced into virgin mixes. The recovery system, unlike other systems relies on a series of rubber squeegees that gently, but effectively removes paint, rather than harsh metal blades that scrape and damage the belt over time. This guarantees the longevity of the Giardina belt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The machine also boasts double filtration for the air input system, making the spray zone a clean zone, meaning reworks are a thing of the past.

On the extraction side, there are triple levels of filtration, ensuring incredibly low particulate emissions to atmosphere.

The touchscreen control panel gives the operators fine control over line speed, spray guns, circuits, pressures, gun heights and many other key parameters used for coating – all at the touch of a finger!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once sprayed, the glass goes through a flash-off section and then on to a combination drying oven. The glass comes off the end of the line perfectly coated, dry and ready to handle and with a footprint of just 14m from end to end, it really is a compact, high production finishing system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Paul Lockett, MD at Esquire says:-

“ Realising we (Esquire Glass) needed to be more flexible in the painting of our glass products, we spent last summer conducting due diligence on various systems. We found the Giardina system in collaboration with Schuberts UK to be the most effective for our needs. It was installed at the end of Jan ’18 and has already shown huge benefit by taking our production from 400 to 1600 pieces per shift. So far, we are very happy with the machine and are looking forward to developing it’s use over the coming year”
