A customer in Argentina had been experiencing very healthy sales in painted steel coils and needed to quickly upgrade the capacity of their single oven (double pass) colour coating line to meet current market demand.
They requested our expertise in why this was occurring as well as how to resolve it whilst being practical, cost-effective and minimizing disruptions.
To allow operation of the existing colour coating line while the modifications and installations were being implemented, a carefully detailed project schedule was put in place. Consultation with the customer was most critical, to ensure disruptions to production were minimal.
The customer was very pleased when the first coil run was prime product. GEIT had met the customer’s expectations and most importantly the product produced from the line was of the highest quality. The discolouration on the high gloss white was eliminated thanks to the expertise of our Technology team recommending and implementing operational changes within the process.
