NEWS RELEASE
MIDLAND METAL PRODUCTS
BEGINS OPERATION OF A STATE OF THE ART POWDERCOATING LINE
OCTOBER 19, 2012, CHICAGO, IL
. . . Midland Metal Products, a leading metal fabricator for the retail
advertising industry, is proud to announce the startup of a new, state of the
art powder coating system at its production facility in Chicago. This
significant investment continues Midland’s deep commitment to customer
satisfaction by accelerating delivery lead times, improving quality, and
reducing production costs.
The line is sized to accommodate a wide range of
components – the maximum size is 36” deep, 72” long, and 120” wide. An automated
800 foot conveyor system carries components through a 3 stage pre-treatment
system, a dry-off oven, dual powder booths, and a final cure oven. The
most unique feature of the system is the quick change capability that supports
a switch from one powder coat color to the next in less than 30 seconds. To
satisfy the changing demands of our customers, a wide variety of colors will be
available. The system was also designed with a long loading &
unloading area positioned adjacent to Midland’s existing assembly &
packaging area. This will allow personnel to complete final operations on
the line and positions the parts close to final pack out for reduced handling
and maximize efficiency.
Tours of the new system are available upon request for
existing and potential customers.
