Large Process Piping


Forty-five foot long and three foot diameter pipes are a challenge to paint, but to automate the operation with robotic material application and in line curing is a daunting task. Thierica was not only able to provide a solution that applied the coating in line but cleaned the interior and exterior automatically prior to painting. Our sales and engineering team, lead by Dominic Zerilli, developed the unique concept and fully tested it on our floor prior to shipment to the production facility.

A Motoman robot applies the special protective coating as the part slowly travels through the booth and directly into an Infra Red oven; engineered for the exact amount of time necessary for applying the paint and immediately curing it.  Although this was the largest part Thierica had developed a system for, it was business as usual for the design and build team.
