Spraying Windows & Doors

Overhead Conveyor Systems for Window & Door Spraying Lines

Manufacturers of timber, aluminium, composite and uPVC windows and doors face increasing pressure to improve productivity whilst maintaining exceptional product quality. Customers expect flawless finishes, shorter lead times and competitive pricing, placing significant demands on production operations.

One of the most critical stages in the manufacturing process is finishing. Whether products are painted, sprayed, stained, lacquered or coated, efficient movement through preparation, spraying, drying, curing, inspection and packing stages is essential.

Manual handling during finishing operations can create bottlenecks, increase labour costs and introduce quality issues. Repeated lifting and movement can also damage products or compromise freshly applied finishes.

Niko Overhead Conveyor Systems provide a highly effective solution by automating the movement of windows, doors, frames and components throughout the finishing process. Products remain suspended and protected whilst moving efficiently between workstations.

The result is increased throughput, improved finish quality, reduced handling and enhanced operational efficiency.
