During the initial phase of a project, close contacts are held with the client in order to define as specifically as possible the technical demands of the installation based on the data provided by them. It is only possible to provide the client with exactly what they require with a precise study of their needs.

The next stages of the project concern the mechanical and electrical design of the installation based on the data agreed with the client.

It is very important to fully understand the chemical process that is going to be employed to treat the pieces and the geometry of the pieces in order to correctly design the vats and select the material they are to be made out of. The objective is clearly to reduce to a minimum the corrosive and metalizing effects of the chemical products on the vats so as to increase the useful life of the vats and the installation as a whole.

The resulting length of the entire installation is also obtained to ascertain whether it fits into the premises in which the process line is planned to be installed. In the event that the line is too long, it is possible to divide it up into smaller parts joined together using transporter units.

By taking into account parameters such as cycle times, the length of each segment and the geometry and weight of the pieces, it is possible to calculate the number of carts to be used in the installation, as well as their dimensions, the electrical power to install and the number of entrances and exits for the cart automaton.

Similarly, all the ancillary elements of the installation are calculated mechanically and electrically such as the vat heating and cooling units, suction devices to remove noxious gases, auxiliary valves, automatic filling, emptying and transfer systems, loading and weighing systems, pumps etc.

The construction and assembly of many of the elements can be completed in tandem with the design phase of others in order to efficiently coordinate design and assembly tasks between the technical office and the workshop and to reduce delivery times.

At this point the line is assembled in our installations in order to detect possible faults and ensure the overall quality of the installation.

This is also when the installation is automated.
The programming of our installations is different from the traditional method. All the programming is based on tables of data entered into the programmable automaton that controls the line.

This programming method, far more complex than the traditional one, provides high levels of freedom and speed when making later changes to the line. Whether the changes are made by us or by the users themselves using our monitoring program.

Once checks have been made to ensure the machinery works correctly both manually and automatically, a decision is taken to set it up in the premises of the client. This is the definitive assembly in which all the checks made previously in our own premises are made once again.
