STILL - Powder coating on a pedestal

A new powder coating system for the coating of forklift trucks

Installing a powder coating system on a steel podium is one thing. As the supplier, actively co-designing the podium and doubling the production area in the process, however, is another dimension entirely! At STILL in Hamburg, this is how a powder coating system of a very special kind came to be.

At a glance

  • Doubling of the production area by installation of a new powder coating system on a 4 meter high steel podium
  • Coating of diverse part geometries with high automation degree
  • Necessity to install the system while production was ongoing

Customer challenge

The over 30 year-old powder coating system was no longer able to cope with the high demands for product manufacturing and the planned production figures. The specifications included the coating of all kinds of part geometries in anthracite and silver, a very high degree of automation with reserve capacity and reproducible, high-quality coating results. For the entire new system, it was planned to build a steel construction platform of around 4 metres in height in the production hall, which needed to accommodate all of the components. The space freed up below the podium was in future going to be used for welding and assembly work.

Our solution

The challenge of positioning the filters and associated powder containers was overcome by anchoring the filters using special attachments to pre-defined support points on the steel podium. For the extendable powder carts with injectors for recycling, steel trays were used where they can be moved for cleaning and maintenance. For the coating with the two colours anthracite and silver, an ICF plastic cabin with recovery was chosen, supplemented with powder feeding from Big Bags. 44 Corona automatic guns adapt using light grilles and 3D laser scanners to the components' various height, depth and contour geometries.

Right from the start of the project, WAGNER listened to our ideas and wishes. Without their active involvement in the planning phase and the excellent communication between suppliers, we would not have been able to create such a sophisticated, technically high-quality and future-proof solution.
