01 / The service
Built around long-form aluminium.
Not adapted to it.
Swallow’s powder line is configured for the architectural aluminium supply chain, including façade, curtain-wall, window and door profiles.
The Gema OptiCenter system supports stable powder delivery and recovery through an automated horizontal process. Extrusions up to 7.0 metres can be coated alongside architectural sheet and flashings, subject to job review.
Every project begins with the substrate, performance environment and finish specification—not simply a colour reference.
Application principle
Stable delivery. Controlled recovery. Repeatable colour.
Process settings and finished work are checked against the agreed coating system and project requirements.
02 / Specification
Capability, stated clearly.
- Profile capacity
- Up to 7.0 metres
Long aluminium extrusions accommodated subject to section geometry and handling review.
- Finish families
- Four core systems
RAL Classic, British Standard, metallic and textured architectural polyester finishes.
- Additional work
- Sheet and flashings
Architectural sheet components and folded flashings can be reviewed alongside extrusion packages.
- Pre-treatment
- Seven-stage immersion
Chemetall chromium-free preparation provides the controlled foundation for coating adhesion.
- Performance
- Project-specific
C5 coastal-suitable systems are available where specified and confirmed for the application.
- Verification
- In-house testing
Mechanical and chemical checks support process control and finished-product assessment.
03 / Coating sequence
From clean metal
to controlled finish.
Powder performance depends on every upstream and downstream stage working together.
- 01
Review
Profile, alloy, length, quantity, colour and exposure are confirmed.
- 02
Pre-treatment
The seven-stage immersion sequence prepares the aluminium surface.
- 03
Application
Powder is electrostatically applied on the automated horizontal line.
- 04
Cure and verify
The coating is cured, inspected and tested against the required controls.
