Then add baffles and extend filter life by 75%!!!   Adhesives can be sticky business and when it comes to spray application that means filters that plug up rapidly, reducing your air flows through the booth, and making filter changes much sooner than expected.  Typical spray adhesives create webs that face load your filters and you end up throwing away only partially used filter media.

Thierica's modular built equipment is quick to install, easy to expand, and will save you money. Over the past few years many paint projects aimed at expanding capacity have been put on hold. Reduced demand and a slowing economy have made it difficult to justify new capital equipment. Well guess what? Demand is on the incline and paint capacity is at a all time low. Now is the time to brush

Monterrey, Mexico - home to Thierica de Mexico - was recently declared a disaster area by Mexican President Felipe Calderon. While our plant was spared, the devastation is wide-spread and dramatic. With the mountainous terrain and rocky ground the water tore through the town with great force destroying or burying everything in its path.

Piano Black - We love to see it on our cars interior and exterior but if you are responsible for creating this desirable look, you need  the right tools.   Just saying "piano black" conjures images of the deep rich look of a glossy black Grand Piano with a tuxedo clad gentleman performing your favorite classical piece; his hands sweeping across the ivories with grace and beauty.

Air filters are designed to capture contamination while allowing air to pass through.  As a filter loads up with contamination, the air passages are reduced.  This results in higher "static pressure" which leads to restricted air flow.  All filters have published data that explain the initial and final static pressure (measured in "inches of water column").  When the final resistance

Circulating Air Saves Money At Thierica we are experts at building equipment with savings in mind and our new explosion proof air handling units don't disappoint! More and more of our spray booth systems utilize circulating air flow to reduce exhausted air volumes and increase BTU value for abatement equipment. So instead of buying a separate air handling unit to accomplish this let Thierica

LET THIERICA DEVELOP A STRATEGY TO REDUCE SCRAP AND SAVE ENERGY. The use of multiple stage washers is not desirable due to high energy consumption, floor space requirements, and large price tags.

In today's fast changing manufacturing environment, assets are not always in the location best suited to serve your customers.  Rather than mothball equipment in one location and buy new equipment for another, sometimes it makes more sense to utilize existing assets.  This often times involves moving equipment from one plant to another and/or upgrading a paint cell with automation or other

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.

Thierica is building a state of the art test lab that will be used to validate paint application methods and develop new products. We have identified the need to work with emerging technologies and have created an R and D resource that we can offer to our customers. The 3600 square foot test lab will house the latest technologies in surface cleaning, application equipment, curing methods, and

Why should your company work with an ISO certified company? Thierica Equipment Co. is proud to be one of the few ISO certified paint systems houses available today. We’ve all heard the mantra, “Say what you do, do what you say, and prove it”. Sounds easy, but requires work, attention to detail, and constant evaluation and follow up. It doesn’t mean that we are mistake free, but that we

We, at Thierica Equipment Company, are excited about 2007. Sales activity is up. The finishing industry is beginning to boom again. When we invested in our new building, some thought we were crazy. Business was slow. Why invest now? Our management had the wisdom to see past next week, or next month. They knew the industry was slow, but it would come back strong at some point in the

Another year draws to an end. Peace on Earth is still a dream rather than a reality. I guess “Peace on Earth” is something inside us instead of something outside of us. As we celebrate Christmas, it is my prayer that all of us would know that true inner peace, that the Child would live in us at this holiday time and throughout our lives. So good bye to 2006 and here’s to 2007. May this be

2007 is looking at moderate growth in the industrial markets. Well, moderate grow is better than no growth, but how do you continue to expand your company in this economy? “Process”, improve your process. So much waste is generated in the finishing department. This waste leads to high costs and added pollution. Constant evaluation and improvement is the most cost effective way to compete

Many customers are still “hot potting” their 2K materials. This is a very expensive way to handle two component paints and adhesives, and can lead to inaccurate mixes and rejects. There are several manufacturers who have developed systems to mix the material, track application usages, and save many times the cost of the equipment and it’s integration. Each manufacturer has their own

Galion LLC was founded in 1954 and produces a variety of innovative screw machine parts for automotive and military customers. They came to Thierica Equipment Co. looking to improve quality, reduce costs, increase output, and reduce VOCs. Thierica, working with ITW Ransburg, found a solution that surpassed everyone’s expectations. We were able to apply, in one booth with an AeroBell 33,

Guest Writer: John Owed, ITW Ransburg The object of this paper is to identify and discuss the parameters related to the application equipment, define their relative purpose and discuss methods for controlling, optimizing and/or monitoring them. Once identified, the “normal” operating parameters used for day to day operations of a finishing system can serve as a barometer of the system

This question is frequently asked of paint systems and equipment suppliers, and, in most cases, the answer is “Yes”. Since Harold Ransburg invented the electrostatic process just after WWII, there has been more than a few refinements and improvements to the process. Today, most plastic parts for automobiles are finished with electrostatic applicators. Non-conductive substrates are made

Changeable end arm tooling is nothing new in the machining industry, but not many have attempted it in the paint industry. Thierica was challenged by one of it’s customers to change colors between racks without wasting solvent or paint. General Manager, Lou McGough, took on the project and developed what we are calling “Quick Draw Technology”. Not only does Quick Draw allow for fast color

“You can’t see the forest for the trees.” It’s been said over and over and it is still true today. Sometimes we lose sight of the issues costing us time and money because we are too close to the situation. You see the same system every day. You spend most of your time “putting out fires” rather than finding new and creative ways to improve your process and reduce costs. This is where a “
