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.

Our credo,
Securing your projects

One of the reasons we became an industrial integration company is that we love engineering, the technical side and adapting to different processes. Building a surface treatment plant, assembling it and keeping it running for the long haul is deeply satisfying.
