A new product has finally arrived to enhance SAT technologies portfolio: we are glad to present the C-Expert Powder Booth. With an extensive experience across numerous markets, SAT has introduced most of the innovative solutions recognized as worldwide standards nowadays. The C-Expert Powder Booth is just the latest result of the company capacity to receive the markets needs and turn them into technologies to serve customers better. The C-Expert Powder Booth is specifically designed for an outstanding, uniform and deep coating of complex geometry profiles, even at high conveyor speed. Because of the increasing average weight of profiles and the complexity of geometry in the architecture sector, often customers are forced to vary the speed of the vertical line conveyor. This new booth allows to work at constant speed, with better results; it means higher productivity and less rejects. C-Expert guarantees also a perfect integration with the new SAT VISI-1 system (for automatic powder coating); it means the highest level of automation in the market, with repeatability and incredible coating efficiency.
ZINQ finishes more than 650,000 t of steel annually with corrosion protection through batch galvanizing and surface coatings. Gema’s modern powder coating system includes an OptiCenter® OC07, OptiSpray AP01 application pumps and a MagicCompact® EquiFlow® quick color change booth. This Gema technology guarantees high coating quality!
Gema is a company with a long history. Founded in Switzerland in 1897 began life as a high-end metal fabrication business and later specialised in metal ceilings. Gema engineers started experimenting with a revolutionary new technology utilising electrostatics and powder paint; this led to the production of the very first powder application gun. The technology was so fascinating and efficient that they started developing and commercialising powder coating guns. Gema electrostatic division was born! Gema became a stand-alone company in 1982 with the separation of the electrostatic division from the original Gema fabrication business. In 2012 Gema became a part of Graco, an internationally leading supplier of fluid and coatings management solutions in both industrial and domestic applications. Helmsman decided to update a vital part of the machinery, the paint booth. The old powder paint booth served Helmsman for around 15 years. It was time to upgrade to intelligent, faster and more sustainable technology for metallic powders. Gema supplied the initial floor plan of the new automatic powder coating system. Throughout numerous visits, Gema adjusted the drawings to suit Helmsman factory floor layout and size. Everything has been smooth sailing. Gema pushed to install within around 14 days as agreed. Thanks to Gema engineers and Helmsman professionals working together to achieve this. Automatic powder coating system has minimum powder accumulation which, saves powder paint and works efficiently. The intelligent airflow distribution and the powder hoses are automatically cleaned with powerful compressed air blasts when changing colour for metal lock. The control system is extremely easy to use. We now have complete control of the metallic powder painting process repeatability. We can call up pre-set programs directly on the touch screen and quickly make adjustments depending upon specific requirements. Our working environment is a lot cleaner and faster pace which means we can push through more orders. We will be making the most of our new machine!
OptiCenter OC09 is the gateway solution for low to medium powder consumers seeking to improve powder utilization efficiency of their multi-color processes, by eliminating multiple fluidised hoppers and reducing operator involvement. OptiCenter is a fully integrated process solution that provides economical powder usage, while driving fast and more efficient color change without the need of handling and cleaning of multiple hoppers. The heart of the OptiCenter is the OptiHopper; a fluidised 60l container, where the powder is perfectly conditioned. The optimal integration of the injectors ensures a smooth powder flow to the spraying guns for best coating results! The high performance modular design with a comprehensive range of optional upgrade features allows the user of OptiCenter to easily adapt to a future change of demands in process, quality and production. This makes the OptiCenter a flexible gateway tool for fast color change and allows an easy configuration to suit individual user requirements. With a fresh powder feed and sieving solution, the most demanding quality requirements and expectations can be met. * The article is for reference only, it belonged toGema Switzerland Gmbh
