Value-Added Services for Powder Coating Projects

At Advanced Finishing, the range of value-added services our team can provide is limitless. The following examples provide real-life overviews of some of the complex value-added jobs we have completed in recent years.

Controlling Inventory of Powder Coated PODs for Amazon

One successful post-coating project involved inventory PODs for a global retailer. We received the pre-fabricated PODs, which were then hung on our line, powder-coated, inspected, labeled with multiple labels, placed on skids per specifications, shrink-wrapped, and sent via truckload to the contract customer’s site. The customer had us inventory an entire warehouse worth of product before we shipped the finished and completed products directly to their end customers, usually 8-12 truckloads at a time. Advanced Finishing streamlined this entire project and eliminated the need for additional service providers, which would have added time and cost to the project.

Powder Coated, Packaged, and Distributed Grease Interceptors

A full-service finishing job required that our team powder coat grease interceptors, followed by complex assembly tasks such as gasketing, labeling, tapping holes, and packaging the interceptors. We then distributed the powder-coated and packaged products back to the customer, and in some cases, directly to the end customers. The product sizes ranged from 1 gallon to 5,000-gallon interceptors and required complete powder coating coverage to withstand the challenging conditions of the end application.

Storing Powder Coated Products at Our 80,000 Square Foot Facility

Advanced Finishing has completed finishing jobs that include powder coating products and then storing the finished products until a major online retail and shipping company was prepared to pick them up with their trucks. As one of the largest powder coating companies with assembly and storage in PA, our 80,000 square foot facility in Erie provided the necessary space for the size of the parts in this project, the quantity, and the timeline before scheduled pickup. This space allows our team to add value to our finishing services by offering temporary storage of finished products. Please contact us if you are interested in a dedicated contracted warehouse space, as this can be negotiated on a project-to-project basis.

Masking & Sand-Blasting Pipe Castings and Inline Mixers

With in-house experts capable of solving complex finishing challenges, we can complete detailed work for a variety of plumbing applications. One job involved work on inline mixers and pipe casting designed for piping systems with a fluoride mixing component. This work entailed receiving the pre-machined components ranging from 3” – 16” in diameter, which our team masked, sand blasted, removed the tape and residue, then remasked, and finally powder coated. We worked with the customer to apply our finish on unmachined castings to eliminate masking, substantially reducing the price and delivery to the customer. With our team of skilled engineers and technicians, there is no finishing job for which we are unwilling to provide solutions.

If you have a job that requires going beyond standard high-quality finishing, we want you to contact our team today to discuss the finishing and value-added services we can provide to meet your needs.
