Nylec – Powder Coating Plant Upgrade

Nylec engaged Ryonex to design and implement a new powder coating solution after its existing facility reached operational capacity. Expanding the current infrastructure would have required significant investment while providing limited opportunity for future growth. Following a review of Nylec’s production requirements and long-term objectives, a new powder coating line was identified as the most effective solution to increase capacity, improve efficiency, and provide a scalable platform for future manufacturing needs within a newly constructed purpose-built facility.

Ryonex designed and implemented a fully automatic powder coating solution for Nylec’s electrical panels, eliminating the need for manual touch-up and improving overall coating consistency. The system incorporates four automatic spray guns and ZA10 reciprocators, providing a larger spraying envelope, improved coating uniformity, and greater control over film thickness.

The upgraded system also features an enhanced powder recovery process, returning reclaimed powder from the dust collection system back to the hopper to improve efficiency and reduce waste.

Previously operating a manual powder coating process across daily shifts, Nylec now achieves the required production output with the new system operating only two days per week on day shift. The solution has significantly increased throughput, reduced quality issues to 0.1%, and delivered a more efficient, reliable, and consistent powder coating process.
