The North Carolina production facility launched a highly anticipated painted interior finish in 2010. The process for creating this painted white interior required new equipment and a dedicated staff. The installation of the paint booth equipment along with a de-nibbing (sanding) machine was the focus of our skilled fabrication staff for many months. Our team rebuilt this sophisticated oven to allow precise control over drying temperature, conveyer speed and humidity. This equipment allows us to prime and pre-finish parts on the same line while producing a consistently high-quality finish.
Each piece goes through the sanding operation before it is primed or painted. This provides a cleaner, smoother paint surface. Once the part is thoroughly sanded, it goes through the paint booth, where no less than five wet millimeters of primer is applied. After the primer is dry, the process sands the part again for painting. This automated equipment then applies five wet millimeters of paint. We carefully monitor the thickness of each coating every time we change from primer to paint or when we change profiles. The viscosity of the paint is closely monitored three times each day. The parts are then passed through a drying oven to create a smooth, consistent surface. The temperature in these ovens is carefully maintained at 125 degrees Fahrenheit and the humidity is held between 12-15 percent. This combination produces the most consistent finish and maintains the highest quality and the strictest of standards. Windsor's goal is to provide only the best for our customers.
