Finishing specialist Junair has just completed a £2.5 million installation at Magna Exteriors & Interiors that was up and running within just 12 weeks.
Magna Exteriors & Interiors is a world leader in the design and manufacture of products for the automotive, commercial transportation, renewable energy and industrial markets and the new facility, designed, supplied and project managed by Junair, is largely dedicated to producing high quality ‘technical finishes’, with basecoats as little as 4 microns thick.
Installed and commissioned in just 12 weeks from the initial concept stage, the plant has a production capacity of around 10,000 units per week and incorporates a number of innovative handling and processing features.
Following the manual loading of the parts in the load station which has pressurised filtered airflow and high levels of illumination, the process sequence starts with de-ionisation utilising Junair's 'QADs SN' static neutralisation system. QADS SN minimises the static charge on the part and enhances cleanliness. This is followed by primer application by robot in a water-wash booth, a primer flash-off oven, then robot application of two base coats in two separate water-wash spray booths – an essential innovation with this type of paint finish. There is then a base coat flash-off tunnel and robot application of a clear coat, again in a water-wash booth. You can see Junair Spray Booth Systems on Stand K22
