The development of the factory has been a priority to Kingstown Furniture over the past few years, and this year, the company introduced a new spray line in order to meet growing customer demand.
The new spray paint line was planned with the intent to improve both quality and production speed. Kingstown purchased the technology from Cefla, based in Italy, an expert in finishing. Carlo Coralli, regional sales director at Cefla, comments: “The easy spraying line guarantees higher standards of finishing, consistent application, higher paint transfer efficiency and high paint recovery systems. This allows Kingstown to improve even more in their need for product quality."
Kingstown also worked closely with Yorkshire Spray Services based in West Yorkshire to ensure the day-to-day service, spare parts and other assistance could be accessed.
The new spray line is also more environmentally safe as the new dry-back spray booth is preferred to what was the old wet process, which was both costly and messy to maintain. Dave Busby, production director at Kingstown, comments: “By comparison the dry-back filters can be changed in minutes and can be disposed of as normal waste in a general waste skip, thus retaining our 100% recycling policy.”
