Principles of Operation
-
The Paint Line will paint both sides of the strip simultaneously.
- The strip has to be cleaned and chemically pre-treated before painting.
- The chemical pre-treatment provides excellent adhesion of paint to the strip and provide corrosion protection of the steel strip under the paint.
- The paint is a special formulation polyester that requires curing at high temperature.
- The paint curing is carried out in a gas fired convection Oven.
- The line is a Continuous Process Line.
- The product quality is very high and world competitive.
- Strip tension varies throughout the line, controlled by the Recoiler, Uncoilers, Bridles and Accumulators.
- Coils are joined together using a mechanical Stitching Machine.
- Line speed is determined by strip thickness and oven capability.
- The line can process galvanised, galvalume, Aluzinc and aluminium & stainless steel.
