Hydram Sheet Metalwork offers powder coating and wet spray painting on steel and aluminium components and metal fabrications on site, using four paint plant facilities.
This large sheet metal fabricator, based in the UK, has three conveyor coating plants for powder coating sheet metal, and a batch processing plant for powder coating or wet spraying larger fabrications, all manufactured on-site.
Two plants are equipped with Gema auto guns, complete with dynamic 3D contour tracking to follow variations in metal fabrication shapes, while the spraying capability is enhanced with fast colour change facility and powder reclaim system. This investment allows the powder coating process to run as efficiently as possible, reducing powder waste and minimising human input.
Powder coating is commonly used for the following products:
The three conveyor operated powder coating plants allows larger batches of metal components to be processed efficiently in a full range of colours and finishes. Components pass through either a three-stage, or five-and-a-half-stage, pre-treatment process to ensure that they are fully degreased and chemically-coated to give excellent paint adhesion and salt-spray corrosion-resistance.
Maximium metalwork component size for conveyor plant: 2.1 metres long, 1.75 metres high and 0.8 metres wide
The fourth “batch plant” offers batch spraying of wet or power paint allows smaller batches and/or larger metal components to be processed. An autowash pre-treatment system allows superior paint adhesion for all metal fabrications.
Maximium metalwork component size batch plant: 3 metres long, 1.5 metres high and 1.5 metres wide.
Hydram is certified to the following quality standards:

Precision sheet metal fabrications are powder coated or wet painted to meet exacting customer standards with regard to salt-spray corrosion testing. Depending on the size of the metal fabrication, parts can pass through either a three-stage, or five-and-a-half-stage, pre-treatment process to ensure that they are fully degreased and chemically-coated.
Finished painted metal fabrications are supplied complete, including silk screen printing or brand labelling as appropriate, and packaged to customers’ requirements ready for delivery.
