It might be an odd thing to be proud of, but we really do love our Junair alloy oven – a state of the art piece of kit that allows us to do high quality alloy refurbishment in the minimum time possible, meaning that we can pass the cost savings on to you.
Junair are one of the leading manufacturers in our industry and they produce the best equipment we have found on the market so far. Given that our experts have decades of experience repairing alloys between them, we hope you can trust our opinion!
To give you an insight into how we use the oven, here are two simple processes that often occur in alloy repairs:
Degassing: this slightly unpleasant sounding process is simply how we remove air from the alloys before we re-coat them. If we didn’t do this, we’d end up with bubbles under the finish – not only would this look bad but it would also reduce the level of protection on your wheels. Here alloys are baked for 30 minutes at 230 degrees Celsius, before being cooled and primed.
Bake-off: No, it’s not judged by Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood (sadly!), but rather a process that sets the high quality powder coating we apply to your alloys! This process takes just 11 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius and creates a smooth, perfect finish. In fact, they look good enough to eat!
