Earth Moving Equipment Case Study

This quarry equipment manufacturer originally began as a forklift manufacturer, using Synthetic Coatings. They grew into a block making equipment manufacturer, and their finishing requirements altered to Two Pack Polyurethanes. The latest stage of evolution for this company was the go into quarry equipment manufacturing, initially continuing to use Two Pack Polyurethane.

However, rapid growth increased environmental pressures, so Trimite were approached to design make the company SED 2005 compliant.

The Trimite finishing system developed to this customer’s specific requirements was for application via airless and air assisted electrostatic. It included a High Build Primer and a High Solids Two Pack Polyurethane Full Gloss.

There are improvements that can be for the future which Trimite are already working on, including even more environmentally friendly products and the possible introduction of water based products.
