Can One IntelliFinishing System Handle All Part Types?

Traditionally, finishing operations rely on multiple systems to manage different types of parts—small parts on one line, medium parts on another, separate lines for powder and liquid coatings, and perhaps even a dedicated system for shot-blasted items. But IntelliFinishing challenges this fragmented approach.

As Sales and Marketing Manager John Claman explains, IntelliFinishing systems are designed to handle a wide range of part types and sizes on a single line. While the system must be engineered to accommodate the largest part in terms of weight and dimensions—resulting in larger carriers—this flexibility allows smaller parts to be processed efficiently on the same line.

What makes it work? Each carrier can run a custom “recipe” based on the part it’s carrying. This means optimal processing conditions for each product type, whether large or small, powder or liquid coated. The result is improved finish quality, higher throughput, and greater overall efficiency—all within a unified system layout.

For manufacturers looking to streamline operations, reduce equipment redundancy, and increase productivity, IntelliFinishing offers a smarter, more adaptable solution.
