Powder Coating Line Additional Cooling Tunnel
On the Lappset Estonia powder coating line, hot parts did not cool sufficiently before being removed from the line, which caused paint defects. As a solution, we proposed and installed an additional cooling tunnel that forcibly cools the parts with factory air before removal. As a result, paint defects caused by hot parts were eliminated.
Project challenge
On the powder coating line, the hot parts did not cool down sufficiently before being removed from the line. As a result, coating defects could remain on the hot part during removal, affecting the quality of the finished products.
How we built it
As a solution, we proposed and installed an additional cooling tunnel on the powder coating line, which forcibly cools the parts before removal. The tunnel uses factory air for cooling, ensuring that the parts cool sufficiently already on the line.

"Power&Free" conveyor fully automatic powder coating line
A modern powder coating line was designed and installed for Torm Metall OÜ, enabling the washing and coating of products with dimensions of 4500 x 1000 x 1800 mm. The solution included a chamber-based 7-stage washing line with separate cabins for ferrous metal and aluminium, a combi oven, and a fully automatic "Power&Free" conveyor system. In the combi oven, the residual temperature of the curing oven is utilised in the drying oven, which increases energy efficiency.
Investment in a New Automated Powder Coating Line
We designed and installed a fully automatic powder coating line for Tammer, complete with an Aabo-Ideal gas- and electric-heated curing oven and a Gema paint booth operating 16 automatic guns. The monorail conveyor has a load capacity of 100 kg per metre. In addition, we built out the compressed air and ventilation lines. The entire installation was completed in May 2023, having started already before Midsummer.
Powder Coating Automatic Line with Power&Free Conveyor
For Sami AS, for whom we built a two-chamber liquid painting line in 2020, we established an automatic powder coating line as part of a production expansion. The solution includes a Power&Free conveyor and a tunnel-type washing automatic line that enables production analysis and future expansion. The equipment is sourced from reliable manufacturers Gema AG, Aabo-Ideal and Hjort-Conveyor.
