SlideRail Square Transfer®
In 1987, Therma-Tron-X built the first SLIDERAIL SQUARE TRANSFER® (SST®) turnkey paint finishing material handling system. The revolutionary SST® system performs high volume finishing operations using a fraction of the space required by traditional monorail systems. Parts index along a pair of low-maintenance slide rails, rather than a chain conveyor. Racks of product suspended from load bars raise and lower in and out of the processing tanks simultaneously, and move in unison through the finishing process, minimizing material handling time.
All paint system components are contained in one compact unit and managed by a PLC. Because flexibility is one of the strengths of SST® technology, each system is built from the ground up to meet individual needs.
The SST® Advantage:
Exceptional reduction in floor space
Significantly higher load density
Modular construction for fast installation and relocation
Ability to load/unload from stationary conveyor positions
Immersion and spray pretreatment capability
Less paint and chemical volume required for fills/dumps
Adjustable drain times
Tilting above and down in every stage
Bottom entry and exit ovens
Can be integrated with any conveyor system
Allows multiple processing without reduction of throughput
Benefits
The SST® coating system is unlike any other system in the finishing business. Not only does it significantly reduce the amount of floor space needed, it also allows increased load density. Modular construction allows faster installation and automatic voltage control reduces paint costs. A PLC makes it easy to automatically lengthen immersion times and ensure proper coating thicknesses, as well as monitor tank levels and oven temperatures.

Cost Effectiveness
Therma-Tron-X SST® systems can handle high volume electrocoating, auto-depostion coating, powder coating, liquid spray painting, cleaning, pretreatment and heat treating operations with ease. From screws to truck bodies, SST® systems are designed to handle a variety of part sizes, weights, and complexities.
