FINISHING FEATURE PERFECT FINISH FOR METAL COMPONENTS
Pickersgills’ powder coating skills and speed of delivery are providing the perfect finish for an engineering company that specialises in carbon fibre technology with companies in the aerospace, F1 and Supercar industries among its customers. Absolute Engineering, a supplier of woven carbon fibre doctoring systems for a wide range of industrial flexoprinting applications, has had a successful long- term relationship with Pickersgills and sees its Yorkshire neighbour’s metal finishing services as an integral part of its world-class manufacturing process. “We’ve been using Pickersgills for years to
powder coat mechanical components such as in blade chambers for industrial printers which need a hardwearing finish,” explains purchasing manager John Brannock. “They always give a very good service.” In addition Pickersgills has provided zinc
coating and anodising for the company. It is the flexibility, technical support and consistently high quality performance of its electroplating and finishing that makes Pickersgills stand out. “This is a very competitive market and our goods go all around the world including Taiwan, South Korea and the US,” continues Brannock. “Pickersgills is always very responsive to our needs, even if we give them a job at
24 hours’ notice they usually come up trumps. I would certainly recommend them to other companies.” Pickersgills offers a wide range of metal finishing solutions including pre- treatments such as chromating, phosphating and blasting, electroplating processes, with zinc, nickel and chrome, anodising and polishing for steel, copper, brass and aluminium all completed entirely in-house to ensure a complete and consistent finish. Its bespoke spray booth, gas oven and track system provides the company with the flexibility to work as both an off-line batch oven, for larger items or with an automatic tracking system as an integral part of the production line. Flexibility is important for many
manufacturing companies and Pickersgills can powder coat and paint different- sized items in small and large quantities in addition to providing a full spectrum of colours and gloss levels. This includes using ant-bacterial paint specially formulated to actively inhibit the growth of bacteria on equipment in sectors as diverse as healthcare, medical, food, leisure and childcare. Whether powder coating units for
industrialised printers, medical equipment or metal fittings in passenger train
carriages, it is the high level of customer satisfaction, fast turnaround times and exceptional quality of the finished product that wins Pickersgills continuing business from a cross section of sectors.
