No, the new white colour is not a new marketing strategy, we are not changing the colour of TAURUS shears and balers. The distinctive white colouring is the result of the special anti-corrosive treatment performed on each and every component of all new Taurus shears and balers. This special treatment prevents rust and corrosion from damaging the metal components of the shears, balers and shredders while also ensuring that the top coat of paint is more vivid and stays durable for longer. TAURUS shears and balers are in constant contact with abrasive scrap, and if placed outdoors are at the mercy of the elements. Thankfully, by applying this anti-corrosive, two step primer, rust, peeling or fading of the paint is minimized.
The anti-corrosive treatment described involves more than just applying an undercoat; several stages of the treatment are required. First, all components must be sandblasted:
Sandblasting is a mechanical cleaning process which involves spraying the surface of the metal with an abrasive grit at very high pressure. This process removes all foreign substances such as calamine and metal oxides from surface of the metal and also gives it a rough finish for better adhesion of the final UV protective topcoat.
HOW do we do it?
Sandblasting such massively heavy objects which can weigh 30 tons or more provides special challenges in itself. The job is undertaken by qualified personnel in a separate department with the aid of suitable lifting equipment. Sandblasting is undertaken manually so that we can be sure that all areas of each component is completely free of contaminants before being sprayed with the anticorrosive undercoat.
After sandblasting, the structures are hand painted with a layer of twin component undercoat which provide much better adhesion properties for the final topcoat while also protecting against all manor of atmospheric and chemical agents, abrasion and damage from impact.
Shear components which undergo a further manufacturing process at our CNC machining center are sand blasted and painted separately before final assembly and application of the topcoat.
The work intensive process of sandblasting and applying an undercoat is not often followed by other manufacturers but never the less deemed necessary to ensure the high quality, long lasting finish and special anti-corrosive properties of all TAURUS shears, balers and shredders.
