Case Studies
In conjunction with the main project contractors, Delta has provided a wet paint system for ‘Airbus’ at Filton to process aircraft wing components. The plant consists of various clean rooms, mask and demask enclosures, spray booths with Aqua-Cleanse plus flash-off and oven enclosures. Delta’s contribution included 3D concept and layout drawings, detailed design, supply, installation and commissioning.
Eden Industries has recently placed orders with Delta for its fourth and fifth process plants. The first plant, purchased from Delta in 1988, is still working on a multi-shift basis today. Over the years The Sloane Group (Now Eden Industries) has expanded its business and by working very closely with Delta, both companies have achieved a complete understanding of each others’ requirements. As a result ‘Eden Industries’ has derived maximum benefit from the latest technology. The two new plants include pre-treatment plant, dry-off ovens, powder systems and cure ovens fully integrated via transport systems. A further 5 plants are scheduled for the Czech Republic, the first of which has just been commissioned.
'LG Electronics' is acknowledged as a market leader in the production of flat display screens. After experiencing paint quality and supply problems the manufacturer of their screens, 'YU SUNG (UK) LTD', situated on the 'LG' site in Newport, decided to take the painting process in-house. The first plant proved so successful, that two further plants were ordered within ten months of the first one becoming operational.
Via the main contractor, Delta provided drying systems and an air replacement unit for the new Aston Martin Lagonda plant at Gaydon in Warwickshire.
Several years ago ‘Rotadex’ in Birmingham decided to take their powder coating requirements in-house. After a lengthy selection process ‘Rotadex’ chose to work with ‘Delta’. The resulting plant consists of spray pre-treatment plant, powder coating facilities, ovens and conveyors and was in full production by the agreed date.
Long term partner ‘J.C. Bamford Excavators Ltd’ and ‘Delta’ have worked together on many projects. In particular a powder coating plant installed by ‘Delta’ is reputed to be the most efficient paint plant in the ‘JCB’ group (running cost, up-time reliability etc). This plant is included on the ‘JCB’ visitor tour.
The leading manufacturer of high quality GRP roof sheeting and cladding, Filon Products Ltd , has installed two lines of Delta multi-zone ovens, purpose designed for GRP curing operations at Filon's new factory in Burntwood.

Ten special ovens, together with precision-built component transport and handling systems, have been supplied by Delta to Sharp for the Company's new solar panel production facility in Wrexham. The ovens are used for the highly accurate curing of the bonding resins within each solar panel to a specified percentage.
