Deimco Finishing Equipment provides a wide range of custom engineered finishing systems for metal, plastic, and wood products. Deimco was recently contacted by Parker Hannifin Corporations Hydraulic Filter Division to provide a turnkey powder coating system to finish their aluminum hydraulic filter bowls and heads.

The customer employs lean manufacturing techniques and wanted an efficient compact solution with single piece flow.

The customer was invited to conduct a trial in Deimco’s demonstration lab. The customer’s maximum part window was up to 8" in diameter and 22" in height with a maximum weight of 10 pounds.

The chain-on-edge powder cell was selected as a result of successful trials.

The customized turnkey cellular system incorporates Deimco’s chain-on-edge style conveyor, Deimco’s CP1200 cartridge powder reclaim collector, [2] Sames SRV416 automatic electrostatic powder guns, and Deimco’s integral infrared curing oven.

Cleaned parts are loaded onto the variable speed conveyor. As the conveyor spindles reach the powder collector, Deimco’s variable speed part rotator spins the parts. Deimco’s upline gun control automatically triggers the Sames electrostatic guns individually as the hydraulic filter components are presented. The uniformly coated parts are cured in Deimco’s IR curing oven, zoned with independent SCR controls. Cured parts are cooled using heavy-duty industrial fans before being unloaded.

Please call Deimco if your finishing requires a "custom" solution.
