TD Finishing worked in close liaison with the client’s project manager, the contract was complete on time. Not only this, on budget and with no unplanned production downtime.
Phase 2 Installation…
The project included the dismantling of the existing infrared pre gel oven, curing oven and monorail conveyor. The dismantling of the existing equipment was completed in a 3 day period. Engineers worked around the clock to ensure the site programme was achieved.
Before the dismantling was completed, installation of the new two-pass minute powder curing oven commenced maximising installation time. It also makes sure production would recommence on the programme. The new oven design utilised three direct gas-fired heater units complete with modulating gas burners, TD’s purpose manufactured insulated oven panels and air distribution and recirculating system to enable 4.2m long racking uprights to be processed.
The F8 monorail conveyor circuit upgrade was completed during this phase. It was also incorporated a new dual-drive system, track, chain and an upgraded flight bar design.
