"Thierica Equipment is exactly the type of company that we like to feature on 'World's Greatest!...'.

Founded in 1945, with a desire for continuous improvement, they have a great story to tell, and we can't wait to help tell the story in a meaningful way to our viewers" said Gordon Freeman, Executive Producer of the show.

As part of the show, How2Media will be sending a film crew to visit the company's manufacturing facilities in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to get the story behind the story on Thierica Equipment Corporation, and to show the "World's Greatest!..." viewers why they were selected, and why they will be featured on the show.

Adhesives Plugging Up Your Filters?

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. The added cost of filters, downtime, and poor air flows can be avoided with a properly designed baffle in front of your filters. Thierica has developed an adhesive baffle specifically designed to capture the adhesive webbing and extend your filter life by 75% or more. And cleaning the baffles is a snap because of a unique surface treatment that wont allow the adhesive to stick.
 

Stop wasting money on filters and have Thierica install a baffle system for you today!

Think Modular

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 off that shelved project and get the paint system you have always wanted. And you're in luck! Thierica has been using this time to improve our designs and focus on quick capacity expansion systems.

Call us for more information and to begin planning for your future capacity expansion!

Monterrey Devastated by Hurricane Alex Flooding

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

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.

In a paint shop, hearing the phrase "piano black" can make chills run up your spine and make your production team run for cover.

Whether applying high gloss clear over black paint for an interior part or an abrasion resistant hardcoat to a Polycarbonate exterior part such as a B-pillar, there are several important features that must exist in your paint system.

It's all about controlling your process.  With a properly designed paint system (built by Thierica of course:-) you can achieve your goals

The keys to our design include

• Part cleaning- our latest "dry cleaning" methods.  We are able to clean the parts as they enter the paint line. 
• The air entering our water-wash booths, tunnels and ovens all utilize HEPA filtration which creates a clean room atmosphere. 
• Thierica has also developed Air flow monitoring software that automatically keeps your system air flows balanced between filter changes. 
• Accurate temperature and humidity control from our engineered Air make-up system is also critical.

When Thierica builds your paint system, you get the tools you need to successfully process high gloss "piano black" parts.

Change Those Filters

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 is reached, the filter must be changed.  A loaded filter that is left unchanged will allow particles to pass through. A blower equipped with a variable speed drive can increase the RPM's to accommodate the changing conditions. 

There are many types of filters used in a paint system and we will recommend the best type of filter and also provide a schedule for replacing them. This can be used as a starting point but careful monitoring and data tracking is necessary to develop your filter changing schedule.
