Activities

ASSEMBLY SECTION

Many of the products we paint form part of a final assembly.

COLPLAST has the elements and the means needed in order to ensure that the assembly process is carried out to the required level of quality.

Knowledge of part characteristics in accordance with the specifications required and the skill of the staff performing the process guarantee that the quality parameters required by the customer are consistently achieved.

PART STORAGE SECTION

COLPLAST has a warehouse adjoining the production lines to receive and control goods both in terms of quality and documentation (reception control ranges, delivery notes, etc.).

There is another warehouse next to this one for the storage of finished parts, something which undoubtedly improves logistics and product quality given that products are not mixed.

All warehouse management, stock management and FIFO monitoring are performed using a LOGIN computer system.

COLPLAST also has its own vehicle for product transportation to the customer, meaning that we can meet our customers' requirements without difficulty.

METAL SHOT BLASTING SECTION

Blasting is the high kinetic energy impact of a blast of abrasive onto the surface to be prepared. It can be performed manually with a blaster or automatically with a propellant. This is the most complete method of derusting. ISP uses compressed air.

The effective average life of surface coatings depends, among other things, on how the surface is prepared before painting.

The preparation of the raw surface consists of eliminating calamine, rust and foreign materials from the steel surface before applying the primer.

Secondary surface preparation aims to eliminate any rust and foreign materials from the surface of shop primer-coated steel before the application of the complete paint system.

One of the methods used to clean the steel surface is cleaning with metal shot.

According to the ISO standard, there are 4 degrees of surface preparation:

1. ISO Sa 1 corresponding to light blasting.
2. ISO Sa 2 corresponding to deep blasting.
3. ISO Sa 2 corresponding to very deep blasting.
4. ISO Sa 3 until the steel is visibly clean, i.e. with an
even metal colour.

ISP performs the 4 degrees of cleaning depending on customer requirements. In order to do this, we have:

• A 15-metre long, 5-metre wide, 5-metre high, fullyequipped Blasting booth with capacity for large parts.


• An 8-metre long, 3-metre wide, 3-metre high, fullyequipped blasting booth with capacity for mediumsized parts.

METAL PART PAINTING SECTION

The main function of protective coating is to prevent or control corrosion. Uncontrolled corrosion on equipment implies serious economic setbacks and increases the risk of accidents, with the subsequent danger to human life.

These 2 consequences lead us to the conclusion that the selection and application of anti-corrosion measures is a fundamental part of the design and construction of any structure exposed to the rigours of the Environment.

It should also be pointed out that the right choice of painting system means that the painted material lasts longer, thereby bringing savings.

For this process, ISP has the necessary means to ensure perfect application and quality.

ISP has a liquid-paint application booth and a drying oven for all type of structure, refinery pipes, gas pipes, framing, etc. measuring 15 metres long, 5 metres wide and 5 metres high.

Painting is by spray using AIRLESS or high-pressure air guns.

Our means of production have capacity for and our skilled staff has great experience in the painting process and the levels of quality which the market sets.

ISP also has a quality department to consult and choose possible systems for the different materials and/or

NEW INSTALLATIONS. POWDER COATING

We are currently performing a thorough study for the installation of a powder coating system in order to enhance competitiveness and apply clean technologies capable of combining effectiveness and environmental friendliness by cutting emissions and waste products through the elimination of the use of solvents.
