Epwin Puts Power Into The Powder Plant

Epwin Window Systems has just completed a carefully planned sixteen-week, six-figure investment in an extension to its Stellar aluminium powder coating plant with no impact on output or supply.

The new powder coating line is a continuous looped track system that delivers consistency through the powder booth and oven. When combined with the improvements to the pre-treatment seven-stage bath/tank system, Epwin Window Systems has significantly reduced scrap levels,

 

 “As an example of the consistency of the operation, we recently ran 700 Stellar parts through the system with zero scrap, which is great from an environmental and a waste management perspective.”

Production Manager, Epwin Window Systems

 

Slim sightlines

The extension to the powder coating facility reflects Stellar’s increasing popularity. Stellar was designed to give fabricators and installers a product with slim sightlines and  a fully flush option thanks to the patented reverse butt joint that means there is no need to use dummy sashes or reverse rebate adaptors.

 

Footprint

Phil Parry, business development director at Epwin Window Systems, says: “This new extension increases our powder coating footprint by 40% and allows us to keep pace with growing demand. It’s a powerful reflection of the way the industry has embraced what our Stellar aluminium window and door system has to offer.”
