Equipment, Finishing Facilities and Processes
TIMBECK CEDAR PRODUCTS has a state of the art coating plant located just west of Brisbane. It specialises in the pre-finishing of the company’s own Western Red Cedar products & components as well as contract coating for the needs of other companies.
A large range of pre-finished products & components are produced and stocked, including:
# venetian slat range with matching fascias and rails in 8 colours
# internal lining boards in 4 designer colours
The company also carries stock of an extensive range of pre-finished external products.
The equipment used for applying and curing these finishes is some of the most advanced available and includes:
UV VACUUM COATER (Giardina manufacture)
This is a high speed process designed for applying clear, semi-transparent and solid colour lacquers to all sides of timber mouldings of almost any shape. The coatings are also completely cured in line.
It is a very efficient process for large volumes of INTERNAL profiles such as venetian blind slats, shutter components, screening, architraves & other mouldings, lining boards and the like.
The process consists of automatic loading equipment, variable speed spacing conveyer, specialised vacuum application chamber, an 8 lamp ultra-violet curing oven and automatic unloading table.

UV ROLLER COATING LINE (Sorbini manufacture)
This is a multiple station machine, capable of applying 2 sealer coats and a wet on wet top coat to one face and one edge of flat profiles with a sanding process in the middle.
It can also apply clear, semi-transparent and solid colour lacquers at approximately 40 metres per minute with complete curing in line. Is also ideal for large volumes of INTERNAL products however is restricted to flat profiles with square or slightly curved edges, venetian blind slats, flooring, panelling and screening are some of the suitable profiles.
The process consists of:
# automatic loading equipment, a single application top roller with reverse steel
smoothing roller and twin lamp oven
# another single application roller station also with an edge application roller
and curing oven
# a sanding station with a sanding belt on the top and on the edge followed by
a universal buffing wheel.
# the final station is a twin roller application for a wet on wet topcoat with the second
roller being precision laser grooved for applying a greater film build, another
edge application roller and twin lamp oven for complete curing.
There is another identical “topcoat machine’ separate from the line used for low film finishes like “oil look” and sealer only applications.
POSITIVE FLOW SPRAY BOOTH (Philro manufacture)
A large enclosed booth for manual spraying. This has a ceiling rail line running through the middle which is ideal for hanging and moving bulky products such as doors, windows & shutters into the booth and then to the extracted drying area opposite the booth.
AUTOMATIC SPRAY LINE (Makor manufacture)
This is a twin booth line with 10 automatic spray guns. It consists of:
# a letter box auto feeder
# 6 gun automatic spray booth
# an enclosed transfer conveyer with heated drying capabilities
# a second automatic spray booth with 4 guns
# automated stacking machine which places the finished profile on drying racks
consisting of 15 shelves approx 900mm wide.
This machine is capable of applying almost any conventional INTERNAL or EXTERNAL coating to almost any profile. Ideal for external claddings and screening which require protective coatings such as SIKKENS, INTERGRAIN or CUTEK. Also used for PRE-PRIMING of mouldings.
COMBINATION SPRAY CURTAIN COATER (Makor Manufacture)
This machine consists of
# 3 automatic spray guns
# a curtain coating station
# a Makor automatic stacking machine
This process can also handle most profile shapes, applying conventional air dried paints, stains and lacquers. It can be utilised for smaller more delicate jobs such as custom colour requirements as well as undercoating or priming of shutter profiles, venetian slats, fascias, rails and similar products.
SANDING EQUIPMENT
We have several different sanding machines designed for different processes.
# a holytek 1200mm wide 3 head flat bed sander is used for sanding and sizing flat profiles
# a Makor profile sander consisting of 2 belts and 4 sanding/buffing wheels is used
for sanding of special profiles
# another twin belt profile sander is utilised for sanding raw profiles as well as
de-nibbing between coats of paint.
TIMBECK Cedar Products can handle almost any coating project.
No matter how large or small, we will have an application to suit.
