TD Finishing are proud to be specialists within our field and leading UK powder coating equipment manufacturers.
Looking to invest in a finishing plant? Maybe you’re struggling with an ageing powder coating plant or paint finishing system, or perhaps you need a drying or curing oven replacement? People often overlook powder coating systems maintenance, upgrades, and replacements. However, these assets can be an unforeseen disaster for production when they do go wrong. Obsolete parts and long-lead times can lead to further woes when a suitable maintenance spares package has not been kept well stocked.
Efficient Service To Suit Your Needs
One of our clients made contact with TD Finishing to place an order for a replacement curing oven. The oven needed to be up and running within 4 weeks. This order is one that we consider quite tall. However, working from customers dimensioned sketches the equipment was designed, delivered, installed and running within the allotted time.
The curing oven was supplied with a much smaller, modern electrical control panel. This was compliant to the relevant standards. As highly efficient modulating gas & air burners, td’s negative-pressure air-seals were also supplied. The result, a completely upgraded, modernised powder curing oven.
It all ended well in this instance. However, most breakdowns and plant failures can turn into a huge headache for any size of business. If you fail to service and maintain burners and fans, a dip or spray pre-treatment system can have serious, long term financial consequences.
The Importance Of Finishing Plant Maintenance
There are many ways that a poorly maintained paint plant can effect your final product finish. For example, dirty tanks and blocked nozzles inside a spray pre-treatment system can often be hard to diagnose when the finishing plant is running. However, when the water quality in the tank degrades, the adhesion of paint or powder will be slowly heading towards failure. This may be in the form of rejected components or eventual failure in the field, under warranty. Anything from a day to months’ worth of production could be at risk due to poor maintenance and quality control.
Temperature Uniformity Survey
The results of unmaintained drying oven and curing oven burners are more obvious. Failing to monitor or regularly check an oven’s temperature uniformity, can lead to wet components entering the powder booth. It can also lead to uncured components leaving the curing oven. Heat cycling or replacement fans drastically alter temperature distribution. Therefore, it’s important to regularly carry out a Temperature Uniformity Survey (TUS. You can then make sure your ovens are running to the correct commissioned specification.
Wide Variety Of Equipment Available
So, if you have any concerns over ageing equipment, are looking for a replacement, or would just like to check your finishing plant performance & safety, then td can offer replacement or service and maintenance packages for any of the following;
- Dip Pretreatment

Looking for spray booth suppliers? TD Finishing can help. Our team proudly installed a robotic wet paint spray booth for a prestigious door manufacturer. As leading powder coating system suppliers, we are proud to go the extra mile when it comes to installing industrial finishing plants. We can supply all sorts of spray painting equipment and can provide you with a system that ensures the complete finishing process is perfect from start to finish. Our finishing systems include pre-treatment plants, drying ovens, curing ovens, box ovens, infrared ovens, conveyor systems, and spray booths.
Why Should You Invest In A Spray Booth For Your Business?
A spray booth increases productivity and turnaround times. We design our paint booths to offer the user a controlled environment. This makes it much easier to apply the coating to components and surfaces. Designating a painting environment also means that you can control and contain any hazardous materials. At the same time, preventing any debris from compromising the coverage and quality of the paint application. Looking to increase the consistency of their wet-spray finish, our client also wanted an increase in their production throughput (to one door every 65 seconds). Their new paint facility consists of a power & free conveyor with indexing through two spray booths, a flash off tunnel, an infrared oven and a water-mist surface-hardening system.
State-Of-The-Art Paint Plant System
The booths house two ABB wet paint spraying robots. These robotic paint machines are pre-programmed for painting every size and colour of door in the client’s range. Also being installed, was a paint-kitchen with state of the art delivery system. The HMI allow the operators to check the paint finishing systems parameters and adjust at the touch of a button. Whilst the 6 paint pots allow for a quick colour change. Furthermore, the client was supplied with 4 paint pots for dedicated colours and two for less frequently needed colours. Meaning they can use one whilst the other system was being cleaned for the next colour run.
Maximum Efficiency
A door perfectly lends itself to the use of an Infrared Gas-catalytic Paint Drying Oven. We manufacture our paint drying ovens with flameless infrared panels and arrange them in a matrix of rows to ensure both faces dry evenly. To be able to adjust each panel individually as a percentage of output means that during commissioning, the system can be setup to the customers exact requirements with a maximum efficiency.
Reducing Production Time
The water mist hardener follows the paint drying oven usage and works to harden and cool the paint’s surface. As a result, this reduces the time product must wait on the line before it could be handled and then packed for shipping. TD Finishing was able to assist the customer with trials prior to their order. Therefore, giving the customer peace of mind that the new wet spray painting plant worked before installation.
Increased Efficiency
The new painting facility now means the clients products can be taken off the line ready for packing and shipping. Without having to wait days for the paint to sufficiently harden. Therefore, reducing factory space requirements all the while increasing the capability to produce doors in any colour and on-demand.
