TECHNOLOGY

Human skill, ingenuity, and experience are essential, but often they are not enough.
That is why we choose to invest in the finest tools capable of supporting our team of experts through every stage of the process. Innovation and functionality, paired with a strong focus on sustainability and waste reduction, are the driving principles behind the design of our technological cycle, positioning us as an industry benchmark.

In-line sandblasting

Equipped with 16 opposing turbines powered by metallic shot, the system removes rust and mill scale, preparing the substrate for subsequent treatments. The process is optimized to ensure perfect surface roughness on the raw material (the system is not suitable for removing pre-existing paint coatings).

Pre-treatment tunnel

The material passes through a spray tunnel where advanced chemical solutions perform a nanotechnological conversion of the metal substrate. An intensive cycle of 12 consecutive and separate stages ensures top-of-the-category corrosion resistance.

Drying oven

Following the chemical treatment, the materials enter a 700 cu m drying oven that recirculates massive volumes of air heated to approximately 160°C.

Primer booth

Following drying at 160°C, the material enters the booth dedicated to applying the epoxy primer. This step ensures maximum anti-corrosion performance.

Gelling oven

During this phase, the primer gells, transitioning from an “aggregated” (unstable) powder state to a solid state thanks to infrared radiant heat.

High-density powder coating booth

The technological core of the system, this booth utilizes low-pressure, dense-phase application. Unlike traditional systems, this technology ensures optimized coverage and perfect coating consistency. The system is driven by adaptive reciprocators that automatically read the loading template with 12 spray guns.

Curing oven

Final curing at temperatures up to 200°C, in accordance with the technical data sheet, is carried out using indirect flame burners. This technical choice is essential to prevent unwanted color shifts caused by direct contact with combustion gases, thus ensuring progressive heating and guaranteeing flawless gloss and color stability.

Commitment to Sustainability: An Efficient Model

Vernix’s technological innovation is inextricably linked to environmental responsibility, through targeted solutions designed for energy efficiency and drastic waste reduction.

Clean Energy

The integration of an advanced photovoltaic system guarantees constant coverage of part of the company’s energy needs. This investment in renewable sources powers the production processes while significantly reducing the carbon footprint and overall environmental impact of the entire facility.

Water and Chemical Management

The chemical washing tunnel operates as a completely closed-loop system, using exclusively water treated by an internal purification plant for wastewater recovery. This system eliminates constant water extraction from the public network, ensuring a fully eco-sustainable metal pre-treatment cycle.

Zero Waste and Thermal Savings

The primer booth fully recycles powders to eliminate waste, while the dedicated oven utilizes intelligent panels that activate only when the product passes through. This technology ensures absolute precision, delivering both energy savings and a reduction in industrial waste compared to traditional systems.
