Industrial transfer of a powder coating line

Plasse project · XXL sheet metal · Loire (42), Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Dismantling · Transfer · Reassembly · Commissioning, during the production shutdown

New equipment, yes. But transfers too. At Plasse, an XXL sheet metal specialist based in the Loire (42), Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, CREDO Engineering took charge of the complete transfer of a powder coating line, during the production shutdown.

The line: surface treatment tunnel (STT), dryer, infrared oven and curing oven. Imposing equipment, to be moved without damage, re-installed to the millimetre and put back into production within a tight deadline.

The conveyor was entrusted to ALM, our conveying partner on this project. It is also thanks to ALM that this job came to us: each on its own trade, the line and the conveyor move forward together.

A turnkey project, from dismantling to commissioning

1
Dismantling
Marking, methodical removal of the line elements, preparation for transport.
2
Transfer
Crane handling and transport by exceptional convoy to the new workshop.
3
Reassembly
Re-installation of the equipment, levelling, fluid and electrical connections.
4
Commissioning
Electrical and gas power-up, I/O tests, temperature ramp-up: ready for production.

Where everything is decided: the deadline

On a line transfer, the constraint is not only technical:everything has to fit within the production shutdown window. This is where our field experience makes the difference: a team that knows these lines inside out, a tight schedule built upstream with the customer, and daily coordination on site. Result: production restarts on time.
