Solutions to Improve Your Wood Finishing Process

Whether you’re troubleshooting an existing system or building a new finishing line, we have the equipment and expertise to move your operation forward.

Surface Preparation

Prepare wood surfaces for superior finish quality.

Wide belt and hand sanding equipment, PSA and hook & loop abrasives
Surface conditioning and scratch refinement for cabinet doors, furniture, and moldings
Dust collection systems for hand sanding, wide belt sanding, and routing operations
Masking solutions for hardware locations and assembly interfaces
Automated sanding lines for higher-volume, higher-consistency shops

Curing & Drying

Get parts through cure faster without sacrificing finish quality.

Ambient drying rooms and racks for low-volume, high-mix shops
Convection ovens and drying tunnels for higher-throughput lines
IR and gas catalytic curing systems for the fastest cure times and smallest footprint
Flash-off systems for waterborne and high-gloss finishes
Environmental controls for temperature, humidity, and airflow

Finishing

Apply coatings consistently, whatever chemistry you’re running.

Manual spray systems: conventional air spray, HVLP air spray, air-assisted airless, airless, electrostatic
Automatic spray systems: reciprocators, robotic applicators, flat-line machines
Fluid delivery and paint kitchen systems for color consistency and reduced waste
Spray booths: open-face, pressurized, downdraft, side-draft, cross-draft
Finishing consumables: nozzles, filters, hoses, tack cloths, and more
Support across stains, sealers, conversion varnishes, polyurethanes, waterborne coatings, and UV coatings, we don’t sell the coating, but we know how best to apply it

Material Handling

Move parts through your line with less labor and better throughput.

Overhead conveyors: power & free, monorail, enclosed track systems
Flat-line conveyors for panel processing (MDF, hardwood panels, flooring, shelving)
Manual cart and rack systems for job shops and low-volume, high-mix production
Part holding and hanging fixtures that reduce touch-up work and improve spray access
Modular systems built for small-to-mid-size shops without room for a full inline system

Safety

Protect your people through every stage of the process.

Respiratory, eye/face, hand, and hearing protection sized to the task, prep-stage PPE differs from spray-stage PPE
Combustible wood dust and fire/explosion prevention guidance
Air quality and ventilation support for sanding and spray areas
Chemical handling and storage practices for coatings, solvents, and cleaners

Support Services

Help beyond the equipment, from first assessment to ongoing operation.

Finishing department assessments and process audits
Operator, supervisor, and maintenance training
Preventive maintenance, field service, and bench repair
Engineering, automation, and material handling system design
Spare parts programs and equipment rebuilds

Improve Finish Quality

Reduce orange peel, rough finish, dry spray, color variation, streaking, sags, and runs.

Outcome: improved customer satisfaction and lower reject rates.

Improve Safety

Spray booth solutions, dust collection, and operator safety equipment.

Outcome: safer finishing operations.

Increase Production Throughput

Faster line speeds, bottleneck elimination, reduced downtime.

Outcome: more finished product per shift.

Reduce Labor Dependency

Automated spraying, robotics, and easier equipment operation.

Outcome: improved labor efficiency and repeatability.

Reduce Material Usage

Improved transfer efficiency, better spray pattern control, optimized fluid delivery.

Outcome: lower paint and stain consumption.

Improve Sustainability

Solvent-based to waterborne conversion support, liquid-to-powder coating conversion support, lower energy usage.

Outcome: support for environmental initiatives and compliance goals.

Maximize Floor Space

Automated and semi-automated solutions, conveyor and racking systems, curing and drying solutions.

Outcome: more footprint for production, less safety risk.
