Teknos UK Invest With Schuberts

/in , , , ,

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.

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.

Casket Manufacturer Goes For Schubox Curing. Again.

/in ,

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.

Giardina and Schuberts – the Perfect Finish

Schuberts Install Catalytic IR Drying Into Armarii (AI) UK

/in , ,

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

GRP Door slab manufacturer invests in their finishing future with Schuberts.

/in , , , ,

 

A significant, new, turn-key finishing installation has been commissioned at one of the UK’s leading GRP door slab, ancillaries and plastic components manufacturers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The equipment comprises of a stand-alone horizontal automatic brush preparation machine. This through-feed machine uses Flex-Trim abrasive brushes to prepare the surface of the substrate. This then allows the slabs to be cleaned and then chemically prepared, ahead of coating. The through-feed brushing machine runs at 3m/min, meaning 380-400 sides can be processed per shift.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A load/unload automatic lifting station, when product up to 100kg each can be loaded and unloaded from the line with a single man.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The overhead conveyor is installed throughout the complete installation and with a max load on each 4 wheeled trolley of 200kg and a 90 degree sprung fitting for rotation.

 

Once loaded onto the line, a full ATEX rated spray enclosure with filtered air input and auto balance smart system has been installed for the spraying of the products. Individual silder divider panels are used to split up the spray zone into sector specific areas, allowing each of the potential 2 sprayers to spray at the same time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Filtered air input, means all the incoming air for the spray process has airborne contamination removed, meaning no inclusions on the wet pieces being coated.

 

The inverter driven input and extract ATEX rated centrif fans are connected directly the PLC in the control panel and constantly alter their output depending on air pressures, filter condition and spray velocity required.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once sprayed, the pieces go into a separate flash-off zone, where the coating is allowed to settle, vent and find its own level. Again, filtered air input means the wet product is kept clean and clear of particulate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the flash-off, a custom dimensioned Schubox is utilised for very rapid drying of the coatings. Running at just 36c, the gas catalytic IR heaters produce long wave infrared and along with a unique airflow inside the Schubox, the coatings are dried very quickly – around 45 minutes compared to 18 hours in ambient.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A dedicated ATEX rated paint mix room completes the installation. Bunded floor, ATEX heating, permanent extraction, filtered air, doors, work bench and ducting all feature in the PMR.

Giardina Profile Coating Line Installed At Timber Door Producer

/in , , ,

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.
