COIL COATING

Ace Gutters Coil Coaters (AGCC) is an independent coil coating facility located at our Mortdale site in Sydney Australia.

In April 2007 AGCC installed a Bronx state of the art coil to coil continuous wet paint line. This new innovative machine will clean, prime and top AZ150 and AZ200 coated steel.

Fitted in-line is a hot laminator which can apply a protective film to protect the painted top surface of our product.

Quality Testing In AGCC Laboratory

Ace Gutters Coil Coaters is supported by a fully equipped laboratory, fitted with the latest technology, where every coil we paint is rigorously tested to meet Australian Standards AS2728.

“A Quality Process Ensures a Quality Product”

Daily testing carried out on each coil produced by AGCC includes:

  • T Bend Test.
  • Impact Test.
  • MEK Double Rub Test, DJH Automated Lab Equipment.
  • Pencil Hardness Test.
  • Light Cabinet Visual Test.
  • Gloss Metre Test.
  • Film Build Test, DJH Film Build Measuring System.
  • Laminate Plastic Removal Test.
  • Paint Matching to Standard – using the state of the art Spectrophotometer I Colour 7000.

 All coil samples are catalogued and archived for quick traceability when required.

Mettler Toledo coil scales up to 10 tonnes capacity have been installed at each end of the line to assist in tracking accurate yields form individual coils.

Painting Coil started back in the late 1940’s. Since then the technology improvements in software and equipment, the advancement in engineering and the ever improving chemistry in our paint technology has many paint lines all over the world manufacturing high quality high grade painted coils for many industry sectors in many different climate zones.

In fact the latest estimate has over 300 paint lines in Europe/Middle East/Africa. 300 + in Asia with huge concentration in China and over 100 in the Americas. Internationally painted coils is a multi-billion dollar business.

PAINT LINE PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

  • The paint line paints both sides of the strip simultaneously.
  • The strip has to be cleaned and chemically pre-treated before painting.
  • The chemical pre-treatment provides excellent adhesion of paint to the strip and provide corrosion protection of the steel strip under the paint.
  • The paint is a special formulation polyester that requires curing at high temperature.
  • The paint curing is carried out in a gas fired convection oven.
  • The line is a Continuous Process Line (CPL).
  • The product quality is very high and world competitive.
  • Strip tension varies throughout the line, controlled by the Recoiler, Uncoilers, Bridles and Accumulators.
  • Coils are joined together using a mechanical Stitching Machine.
  • Line speed is determined by strip thickness and oven capability.
