Tellkamp Systems, Inc. (Santa Fe Springs, California) is pleased to announce their association with Trevisan Cometal SpA. (Verona, Italy) to promote the sale of Vertical Powder Coating systems to the aluminum extrusion market in North America.

Tellkamp Systems has an exclusive agreement for the sale of Trevisan Tellkamp Vertical Powder Coating Systems for the North American market. From their Santa Fe Springs, California headquarters, Tellkamp Systems will manufacture, and provide installation and after sale service and support of the Trevisan Tellkamp Vertical Powder Coating equipment.

Trevisan Cometal is the world leader in the design and installation of vertical powder coating systems for the aluminum extrusion industry.

Tellkamp Systems is the leader for the design, manufacture and installation of vertical and horizontal liquid painting systems for the aluminum extrusion market in North America. The agreement also includes Trevisan’s Effecta® wood grain effect using a powder on powder application process to provide a realistic wood like appearance on aluminum extrusions.

Trevisan Cometal and Tellkamp Systems will work together to provide cutting edge vertical powder coating systems and support to the North American aluminum extrusion marketplace.

Energy Saving Cascade Pretreatment Washer

The cascade washer design eliminates the use of the hundred’s of spray nozzles typically found inside the washer tunnel of a vertical coating line. The cascade system uses low maintenance trays to direct the flow of each pretreatment stage down over the top of the extrusions similar to a waterfall. Using the cascade system reduces the horsepower requirements of the washer and also lowers the pretreatment chemical costs and overall water usage of the system.

Zero Downtime for Color Changes

The flexible design of the vertical powder coating booth allows the booths to be used either in series or in parallel operation. Trevisan Tellkamp vertical powder coating systems utilize a unique overhead conveyor system that allows load bars of extrusions to move between powder coating cells for higher productivity and throughput while minimizing down time.

Each powder coating cell contains one or two vertical powder coating booths complete with automatic powder application equipment and high efficiency powder recovery system. In series operation, powder coating of both sides of the extrusion is easily accomplished using a single powder booth by rotating the extrusions 180 ° at the mid point of the vertical booth.

Operating in series, one or two powder coating booths can be used for production while the additional booth(s) in the second powder cell are cleaned during a color change. Parallel operation allows two vertical booths to be used at high speed (for the powder coating process) to maximize the production capacity of the system.

The simple design of the automated vertical powder coating booth allows color changes to take place in as little as 15 minutes.

Powder Reclaim System Efficiency

The Trevisan Tellkamp Vertical Powder Coating Booth uses a unique booth design and a high efficiency cyclone system to recover and reclaim powder coatings. The high efficiency cyclone system can recover approximately 98% of the powder overspray and return it to the powder feed system for reuse. The easy to use cyclone system offers powder reclaim as well as spray to waste capabilities.

Effecta® Wood Grain Process

Trevisan has pioneered the process of applying a lifelike wood grain effect to aluminum extrusions and profiles. Effecta® uses an automated powder on powder application process to provide a realistic appearance at competitive pricing.

Effecta® can be installed as part of the vertical powder coating system and allows end users to produce a wood grain effect automatically in a high production environment.
