Powder Coated Tough - Spring 2008 - (Page 25) about this setup,” Laffey says, “is Electrolux can run drums for a short time and go back to flatware without building large amounts of inventory, which takes up space and costs the company money.” The second booth in this line is a large ColorMax® booth that can paint the standard white products and run all other colors. This booth becomes a back-up booth for the flatware line and can run unlimited numbers of colors in the future with fast color change. Stream 4 is for applying a clear coat over Electrolux’s premium colors. “This line…allows Electrolux to process all the premium colors at once without having to handle the parts more than once and store products that may become damaged. It also incorporates the use of PPG’s clear powder to give the base color a deep rich look,” Laffey says. Barry Keating, global strategic account director at PPG Industries Inc., Pittsburgh, the sole supplier for the ecoat and powder on Electrolux’s latest new line, says that all of the products were developed as systems to perform and exceed Electrolux specifications. The e-coat is a cationic epoxy formulated to meet the Electrolux laundry specifications and the powder materials are hybrid systems developed to meet the Electrolux laundry specifications. Norson’s Laffey says, “I would like to say that the crew from Electrolux is very professional and the facility they are starting up in Mexico is one of the most impressive systems I have ever seen. Their commitment to doing it right the first time really paid off. Great project management and the huge amount of corporate support [are] contributing factors of the success of the project as a whole.” Sharon Spielman is editor of Powder Coated Tough.
