SCOTCH-BRITE LINE
The Scotch-Brite Line is one of the production lines used at our facility. This line performs the surface finishing of stainless steel products through an automated process. To begin processing, the material is fed directly into the production line.
General Features of the Scotch-Brite Line
The Scotch-Brite Line at our Stainless Steel Service Center offers the following features;
-
Capable of processing stainless steel products up to 1500 mm in width
-
Equipped with a 2023 model production line
-
Provides PVC coating for stainless steel materials with thicknesses ranging from 0,40 mm to 4mm
-
Performs Scotch-Brite surface finishing on stainless steel materials with thicknesses ranging from 0,40 mm to 4mm
-
Operates with a four-brush processing system
-
Suitable for processing Grade 430, 201, 304, and 316L stainless steels
-
Table feed speed ranges from 5 to 15 meters per minute
Using this line, you can have stainless steel products processed with surface finishing and protective coating applications. You can contact our company through our communication channels to benefit from this service.
Technical Specifications of the Scotch-Brite Line
Our grinding, brushing, and coating line consists of the following units and capacity features:
-
The Feeding Unit and Conveyor transfer sheet plates from pallets to the conveyor using a vacuum handling system before feeding them into the grinding machine. This ensures that the sheets are processed without damage such as breakage or contamination.
-
The Grinding and Brushing Machine is equipped with two calibration abrasive belts and one brushing unit. It is capable of grinding, brushing, or performing both operations to produce duplex surface finishes ranging from 120 grit to 400 grit. It processes stainless steel sheets with thicknesses from 0,50 mm to 4,00 mm and dimensions up to 1,600*4,500 mm. Its high-performance air extraction and filtration system prevents dust emission into the working environment while also cleaning the processed surfaces.
-
The PE Coating Line applies PE protective film ranging from 10 to 100 microns in thickness to stainless steel sheets up to 1,600 mm in width, with no limitation on sheet length.
-
The Unloading and Stacking Unit uses a vacuum handling system to remove the coated sheets from the conveyor and stack them onto pallets, ensuring that both the long and short edges are aligned to create neat and secure packages.
Purpose of the Scotch-Brite Line
The Scotch-Brite Line serves multiple purposes. The primary purpose is to provide stainless steel with a semi-matte surface finish. This is achieved using the four-brush processing system integrated into the production line.
The production line also removes burrs remaining on the stainless steel surface. Once the burrs have been removed, stainless steel pipes, profiles, and sheets obtain a smooth, uniform surface finish.
Another purpose of the line is to apply the fine and smooth SB surface finish. This treatment gives products such as sheets and profiles an appearance ideally suited for a wide range of applications.
Applications of the Scotch-Brite Line
The line is suitable for processing Grade 316L, 201, 304, and 430 stainless steels for a variety of applications. Kitchen countertops, household appliances, and elevator manufacturing are among its primary areas of use. The line produces stainless steel surfaces that are smooth, refined, semi-matte, and visually appealing.
It is also highly effective in removing oxidation marks from stainless steel surfaces. For this reason, it is widely used in architectural applications and elevator cabin manufacturing. In addition, the smooth surface finish produced by the line makes it particularly suitable for decorative applications.
Operating Principle of the Scotch-Brite Line
To begin the Scotch-Brite process, the material to be processed is fed into the production line. Stainless steel profiles, coils, and sheets can all be processed on this line. Once the material enters the system, the brushing process begins using abrasive brushes.
The brushing process produces a surface that is bright, clean, scratch-free, fingerprint-resistant, burr-free, and smooth. After the surface finishing operation is completed, the product is cleaned using suitable chemical agents within the production line. The cleaned stainless steel product is then transferred to the line's discharge section.
