SAPA Building Systems - New paint plant equipment gives valuable boost to SAPA Customers

Sapa Building Systems’ investment of almost £200,000 in a new, fully automated Powder Coating Spray Booth is helping to drive down lead times to the delight of fabricators.
The new booth, a Magic Plus Cube Powder Coating System, is a state-of-the-art system that can significantly increase the throughput of painted material.
The booth has been installed at the company’s coating plant in Tewkesbury which is dedicated to painting special colours for any of the company’s commercial or residential product ranges.
Time saving, automatic clean-down routines during colour changes mean that the spray booth can become operational again within just 6 minutes rather than the traditional clean down routine that could take up to 20 minutes.
Sapa has an exceptionally high standard for its finished painted material and so the consistency of the coating from the new booth means that the volume of rejected profile that then has to be repainted is greatly reduced. For fabricators, this increased reliability and the speed of colour changes, is contributing to a significant reduction in delivery lead times. This is especially critical for the many fabricators undertaking commercial work, where adherence to on-site build schedules is critical.
The spray booth also has an environmental benefit in that it allows the company to reclaim up to 40% of the powder rather than it going to waste.
Mark Graham, Sapa’s Customer Services Manager commented: “Our customers have seen a significant and sustained improvement to the completeness of their orders since this new machine became fully operational. Rejections and re-work have dropped from an already low level to an almost insignificant number. This in turn means we have been able to improve one of our key indicators for customer service, Orders on Time and In Full (OTIF).”
