Origin’s latest investment is set to redefine industry standards as it launches its own in-house powder coating facility.
Origin now has complete control over its entire manufacturing process, from raw materials to finished products. By bringing the entire process under one roof and eliminating the reliance on third party powder coating suppliers, Origin is minimising the chance of errors or damage whilst ensuring superior quality.
The new meticulous approach begins with a rigorous mechanical cleaning process. Origin’s unique linishing machine, the only one of its kind in the UK, utilises air, water, and adjustable brushes to eliminate even the slightest imperfections from the aluminium profile.
This technique minimises wastage and is a luxury unavailable to those that buy painted aluminium.
This key stage increases the quality of the material and ensures a pristine surface, which is then ready for Origin’s 10-stage, chrome-free, pre-treatment process, which exceeds the industry standard of 5-7 stages.
This rigorous approach ensures the impeccable preparation of all aluminium profiles for the powder coating application, resulting in a finish that is not only aesthetically unrivalled, but is extremely durable and resistant to corrosion.
To meet all customer requirements, there is a range of powder coating options, including Class 1, 2, and 3 finishes. Furthermore, the availability of textured finishes opens new possibilities for design and customisation.
The benefits of Origin’s in-house powder coating facility extend beyond just product quality. With increased independence from external powder coaters, Origin can deliver its products on time, in full to keep project timelines running smoothly.
