Industrial and Agricultural Wheel Manufacturer

Our customer is a global supplier of tyres and complete wheels for agricultural and forestry machines, fork-lift trucks and other material-handling equipment.

Oliver Technologies was appointed to design and install an automated surface preparation (shot blasting) machine, including both wet (primer) and powder coat (top coat) application facilities. The product is fed through all workstations via an overhead monorail conveyor system.

The initial floor plan was provided by the customer. From there, Oliver Technologies managed the project from the initial design concept through to design acceptance, installation and commissioning of the facility. We now supply preventative maintenance and technical support on an ongoing basis, ensuring high productivity, whilst downtime is kept to a minimum.

The installation was completed on time with the customer assured that the facility meets all required Australian Standards.
