Trimac's in-house engineering staff has the capabilities and experience to design and manage the most complex finishing systems projects. We can manage your project from concept thru start-up to ensure the most efficient and economical system. Our greatest strength, however, may be applying our experience solving difficult curing challenges to your environment and working with you to create a design that will satisfy your requirements for years to come. This is why a large part of our business comes from referrals, because we know what works.

Pretreatment Surface preparation is the most critical operation to ensure the quality of the ultimate finish. Our washers employ acid or alkaline cleaners, and in some applications, where spray alone would be insufficient, we use a spray-dip combination. Our systems typically utilize a 5 or 7 stage pretreatment cleaning systems; however, we have designed a system as large as 13 stages for a complex aluminum cleaning application. By contrast, we have compact, cellular systems using a 2½ stage washer utilizing both a wash and a rinse tank with a final halo rinse just prior to dry-off.

Dry-Off Coating systems require not only a clean surface, but also a dry surface. Whether with infrared, gas convection, or combination, we ensure your surface will be dry prior to coating application. When complex part geometry retains more moisture than would reasonably be removed through heating, we can also include an air blow off.

Coating Application When selecting equipment for your finishing application, Trimac Industries can manufacture in-house, a full line of liquid and powder application equipment. Based on the criteria of your project, we also can partner with your current paint application supplier to coordinate your system design. Our goal is to maximize your quality and efficiency while minimizing rejects, waste, and expense using:

Liquid-Spray, Dip


Pollution Control & Abatement


Powder-Electrostatic Spray & Fluidized Bed/Flow coat

Cure Coating cure rates are a function of the coating cure temperature and the duration the coating must be at that temperature. Due to the nature of our flameless Gas-Cat® Catalytic Infra-Red emitters, we often can accelerate the total cure time by up to 70%. This occurs because the wavelength of the Gas-Cat® emitter closely matches the absorption range of the coating. The result is the coating very quickly gets to its cure temperature thereby significantly accelerating the process. In cases where infrared is not the optimal source of heat (based upon the results of testing of your product and coating), we provide gas convection, electric, or a combination.

Conveyor System We can design a conveying system that assures a safe efficient transport of your product, whether your product weighs ounces or tons. Options include:

Enclosed track


Belt


Power and Free


Chain on edge


Drag Line


Monorail


Rotators & rotating equipment


Inverted or sanitary construction

Control Panel Trimac's control panels are designed to match your workflow needs. We can provide a single control panel to simplify operation of all components or individualized operator friendly controls at key work stations. Each control panel is wired for a single point connection to plant power and all control panels can be specified to be UL approved.

Oven Panels Depending on oven temperature designs, we construct panels of 2", 4", or 6" thickness and use 4lb to 8lb density insulation. The center ribs of our panels have relief holes incorporated in the channels to minimize hot spots through metal conduction.

Compliance Standards & Options All our ovens are built to comply with National Fire Protection Association & Factory Mutual Insurance requirements or can be alternatively specified to comply with IRI requirements.

Gas-Cat® Infra-Red heaters can be ordered to FM & CSA standards for Class 1, Division 2 environments.


Explosion relief panels are standard on all ovens and the explosion relief venting meets NFPA guidelines.


All control panels can be specified for UL compliance.
