Take a look at some of our past projects below
The world’s leading supplier of lifting equipment to the aerospace and defence industries. We were tasked with replacing their in-house wet finishing systems with powder coating. Within one month of our starting this project Didsbury decommissioned their in-house plant stating the ‘vast improvement’ of lead times and finish quality. This led to us taking over the specialist wet finish systems for them; including DEFSTAN and MIL-SPEC. We also regularly consult for them to make sure they comply with the world’s myriad of high end paint specifications.
We were asked to provide a high-end dual-colour powder coat finish for the signage of a major UK utility company. The existing wet paint finish system was not standing the test of time in the harsh environments where the signage was being installed. We specified a high-end automated pre-treatment and our in-house developed unique dual-colour powder coat system. This greatly improved the lifecycle and finish of the signage.
We were tasked with solving the problem for a major petrol retailer in the UK. They required a long lasting dual colour paint system to be applied to bollards to be placed in refurbished and new build petrol stations. The issue was a wet paint finish being applied over a powder coated base. This was presenting adhesion and life cycle issues for the current bollards. Using techniques developed in-house at Sprayquick we were able to provide a dual colour powder coat finish that was superior in both lifecycle and final finish.
Using our custom wood finish solution we developed a finish for the exteriors of one of the worlds largest fast food retailers. From concept design and colour approval this was then scaled up to be supplied to every new build site and refurbished site in the UK. Adhering to the tight continuous project plan. This project achieved the goals of a hardwearing maintenance free wood effect finish.
We were asked to apply coatings to Fire suppression sprinklers by the world’s largest supplier. The main points were to improve quality targets and reduce lead times. We developed a custom masking and jigging system. This system reduced the rejection rate downstream in the build phase to under 1%, a reduction of over 9%. We also reduced lead times by 40%. Annually we can process over 1 million units with completed sprinklers being shipped globally.
We were asked to help solve a coating issue on the exhaust systems on a global brands machinery. We consulted with the global design and quality teams and our specialist powder suppliers. We developed a process and control plan to resolve the issues and implemented this to maintain the strict requirements of coatings that have to deal with temperatures in the 600°C range while also working to this customer’s strict production schedule.
