Coil coating

model-lakovaci-linky

Continuous production process

The coil coating line is designed in a way that ensures the coil passes through all its functional zones at the same speed. 

The coating process begins with a multi-stage chemical rinse that removes impurities from the coil. A chrome-free passivation layer is applied to the clean surface to ensure good adhesion of the coating. After it has dried, the coating is applied to the coil by coating rollers, and then the coil is cured in ovens at a temperature of up to 254°C. The coil is cooled and dried, after which it is sent for packaging or further machine processing. ​

In addition to the application of organic coatings, the line is also used to apply laminating films.

Both coated and laminated sheets have high resistance to climatic, mechanical and chemical influences. We test all of this in laboratories as well as in real conditions.

We coat steel and aluminium

We process high-quality aluminium, steel and galvanised sheets from renowned European smelting plants on our coil coating line. All materials undergo an incoming inspection, and their quality is guaranteed by the manufacturer's inspection certificate.

Exceptional colour range

Our proprietary colour mixing system gives us an exceptionally wide range of colours. We currently provide coatings in up to 2,000 colours derived from RAL, RAL Design, NCS or Pantone colour systems in a glossy, semi-matte or matte finish. 

We can prepare additional shades according to other colour systems or the customer's standard in a very short periodof time from 800 kg of coated aluminium or 1 500 kg of coated steel.

We also coat faux wood and 3D effects

Coated sheets also tested abroad

In addition to accelerated testing in our own laboratories, we subject our coated sheet metal to load tests in foreign accredited centres.

The samples we select include aluminium, galvanised sheet metal and all types of coatings, including film lamination. We use laboratories in Lisbon and Norway for our tests.

We prioritise the future

  • We incinerate the flue gases produced during coating and curing, which prevents the release of hydrocarbons into the atmosphere. We use the heat generated in production to heat production premises.
  • We recycle 100% of solvents – we regenerate used solvents by vacuum distillation and reuse them in production.
  • We are mindful of the energy efficiency of our production facilities – we are considering replacing the gas furnaces with electric ones in our future investment in a new coil coating line.
