Timber Priming Machines for High-Throughput, Consistent Production
Vacuum coating technology delivers defect-free, four-side primer coverage on every profile — from skirting boards to cladding — at speeds manual methods simply cannot match.
The Problem with Manual and Spray Priming
Manual brush priming and spray booths have served timber processors for decades, but they create bottlenecks that limit growth. Hand priming is slow, labour-intensive, and produces inconsistent film thickness across complex profiles. Spray finishing wastes 40–70% of coating material as overspray, demands expensive extraction equipment, and still struggles to coat all four sides evenly.
For manufacturers processing thousands of linear metres daily, these methods cannot deliver the consistency, speed, or economy that modern production demands. Vacuum coating technology solves all three problems in a single pass.
Profile Types We Serve
One machine, hundreds of profile shapes — each primed to production-grade quality.
Skirting & Architrave
Torus, ogee, bullnose, chamfer and bespoke profiles. Consistent coverage on every detail of the moulding face — including rebates and quirks that brushes miss.
MDF Mouldings
MDF demands even, sealed surfaces for a perfect top-coat finish. Vacuum coating eliminates grain-raise issues and delivers uniform film build on both faces and edges.
Cladding & Decking
Exterior profiles need complete four-side sealing, including end grain, to meet warranty and durability requirements. Vacuum coating achieves full coverage in one pass.
Production Performance
Maximum coating speed for standard profiles
Typical throughput on a single shift
Near-zero waste compared to 30–60% for spray
VC6 Vacuum Coater
The VC6 is a compact, high-performance vacuum coating machine designed for timber profile manufacturers who need production-grade priming with minimal waste and floor space.
Quick-change template system handles hundreds of profile shapes. Combined with the DS6 infrared drying tunnel, it creates a complete coat-and-cure line operated by a single person.
