De Geest will now be able to offer also the technologies developed by Eurosider, that provide a more consistent finish with both liquid and powder applications.
DeGeest Corporation has recently announced that it has acquired the North American rights to the patented technologies and equipment from Eurosider: through the new strategic agreement, the company is now able to bring widely accepted finishing solutions from Europe to manufacturers in the region.
Since 1973, Eurosider has been globally renowned for manufacturing advanced technologies and developing innovations for nitrogen-modified air systems in the industrial liquid painting and powder coating equipment sector. The business possesses now twenty-two recognised patents in all the most industrialised countries in the world, including Nitrotherm® Spray and Polifluid®.
Instead of compressed air, these two technologies use nitrogen as a carrier to deliver a more consistent finish to liquid and powder finishing applications, eliminating variables such as temperature and humidity in the process and delivering up to 30% on system savings.
“Manufacturers can add Nitrotherm or Polifluid to their existing manual operations today, with zero interruption or change to current processes. Eliminating variables is an important step in preparing for full automation later, when technologies such as self-learning robots can be added. With Nitrotherm or Polifluid, all you have to do is to plug it into your current system – even if it is manual – to get optimised quality and efficiency,” has declared Derek DeGeest, the president of DeGeest Corporation.
Founded in 1976, DeGeest is a third-generation family-owned business with a history of innovation and excellence in manufacturing. As a matter of fact, from its 12,729 m2 (137,000 square foot) facility located in Tea (South Dakota - United States of America), the organisation is always striving to push boundaries on what is possible in manufacturing through its business lines ‘Steel Works’, ‘Finishing’ and ‘Automation’.
The technology from Eurosider was previously available through Coating Delivery Technology (CDT), which had been acquired by DeGeest. Moreover, the company also integrates LestaUSA, in order to offer the integration and technical support on Lesta robots and software for industrial liquid painting and powder coating applications on metal, wood, ceramics, plastics and composite materials.
“Think of this partnership as ‘The Power of Three’: we have been partnering with Lesta and its self-learning robotic technology for years, so it is exciting to add Eurosider to the mix to be able to bring a well-rounded solution to more customers,” has concluded DeGeest.
