Coat flat panels or pieces up to 1200mm wide and 2400mm in length. However, longer lengths can be accommodated, if required.

Apply a wide range of coatings such as NC (nitro-cellulose), PC (pre-catalysed) and AC (acid-catalysed) etc. The range of colours we can achieve is only limited by one’s imagination. We work closely with the major paint and coating companies and can have virtually any colour or stain, matched.

Apply the equivalent of many hand-sprayed coats with the one pass of our ‘curtain coater’ say up to 200 microns+. As an example, using a conventional spray gun application, it could take a number of coats, with sanding in between coats, to achieve a thickness of 200+ microns. It is generally much easier, faster and more cost-effective for us to achieve a quality, ‘float coat’ type finish.

With the ‘curtain coater’ there is no overspray which is a major problem with spray gun applications. Overspray itself is wasted coating that requires sanding to remove it - a double loss.

Carry out our work in a relatively new, purpose-built, ‘dust free’ facility. In reality, it is a very low–dust environment rather than being completely dust free. The air is filtered as it is pumped into and out of the room. This enables us to achieve a substantially higher standard of finish. We achieve this faster and more cost-effectively than would be the case using a conventional open-faced spray booth, as is the case normally.

The “dust free” room itself, is 12 metres long x 6 metres wide and 3 metres high – a total of 210 cubic metres in capacity.

We also have a large (5 metre wide by 3 metre high) spray booth which we use in conjunction with our ‘curtain coating’ facility. This means that we can coat items up to five metres in length and over two metres in height, if required.

Utilise our purpose built racking as well as our large factory space (2200 square metres). This enables us to coat large quantities at one session and gives us a substantial advantage in doing such work.

Save substantial time by curtain coating through reduction in the amount of sanding any where as much as with conventional spray gun applications. Without the overspray there is no requirement to sand to remove it.

Undertake relatively small runs and to do so quite economically.

Show some very good examples of our curtain coating process as follows:

In the first example, we successfully coated several thousand square metres of 2400mm x 1200mm ceiling panels for a major Sydney shopping centre,

In the second example, the project was a relatively large one that entailed manufacturing and coating several thousand melamine-coated MDF panels (approx 1200mm x 1200mm x 16mm thick). The panels themselves were cut out, shaped and grooved on our computer router. They were then coated on our ‘curtain coater’ with a two-pack, acid-catalysed lacquer. This particular job was for high-usage service areas in a major, up-market shopping centre in Sydney.

Apply graphics to panels with our large-format, semi-automatic screen printing capacity, if required. Board sizes can be up to 2400mm x 1200mm, if required. The printable area maximum is 2400mm x 1100mm. This is one of the few machines of its size and type in Australia.

Manufacture grooved wall panels up to 2400mm x 1200mm and ‘curtain coat’ them in the required colours then apply corporate logos or other graphics to them, as required.

Arrange to have high-quality digital printing applied to the surface as required. The possibilities are endless.
