The Company
Tradestyle Cabinets employs around one hundred personnel. It is one of the leading manufacturers of kitchens to both the contract and retail markets, supplying most of the major house builders and high street studios. Products are distributed through a UK network and are exported to Russia, Spain and Portugal. £300K was invested in capital plant during the last year to cater for the growth of 20% currently being enjoyed.
The Problem
The two five year old Water wash Spraybooths were considered by the company to be the correct equipment for the volume of business when installed however due to the current level of production waterwash became disliked as their cleaning out was horrendous and the consequent length down-time was effecting production.
The Application
Application of a wide range of lacquers paints and stains to solid timber and veneered MDF kitchen components with up to 20 colours being used in any one week.
The Benefits
- Less downtime during maintenance
- No added costs for cleaning agents and effluent disposal tanker
- Personnel protection equipment for handling hazardous chemicals not required
- No overtime payments needed due to quick and easy filter changes
- Reduced running cost provided by less powerful electric motors
The Solution
An Airflow Dry Filter Spraybooth provides a much more production oriented solution for the batches now being achieved as maintenance only requires a change of filter paper and the need for disposal of water and wet paint effluent requiring production shut-down is eliminated.
