In order to meet customer demands faster and more efficiently, the Carl Spaeter Hamburg company expanded its range of manufacturing equipment with a preservation line KON 34/6-HD from Rösler that combines shot blasting and painting in one single system. It is designed to handle steel components, up to 3,200 mm wide, 400 mm high and a max. length of 21.2 meters. The line is equipped with two paint systems. Perfectly integrated into an already-existing building containing an overhead crane, the new preservation line allows not only a higher material throughput but also improves the entire production flow resulting in shorter lead times.
Founded in 1905 in the city of Hamburg as hardware store, the Carl Spaeter Hamburg company became one of the leading steel suppliers for retailers, mechanical contractors and industrial manufacturers in Northern Germany and beyond. The company’s success is based on a broad line of steel products with an inventory of more than 25,000 tons, short delivery times, high operational flexibility and numerous steel processing and refinement services. Mike Barz, General Manager at Carl Spaeter Hamburg, explains: “Since our existing shot blast and painting line had reached the end of its usable life, and because we wanted to improve our customer support, we purchased the KON 34/6-HD from Rösler.“ The equipment supplier from Untermerzbach in Southern Germany won this substantial purchase order against two competitors for the following reasons: Rösler adapted its equipment concept to the customer’s requirements. At the same time the customer was impressed by the quality and sturdy equipment design and Rösler could show several reference plants in the field. Reyk Hagelberg, Plant Manager at Carl Spaeter Hamburg, continues: “Within a very short time period Rösler, with input from us, developed a viable equipment concept that was perfectly adapted to our existing building and our technical requirements.”
