Overview:-
The manufacturing line consists of the Extrusion Section, where the PE is mixed , melted extruded with advanced control systems for consistent quality. The Extruding Head controls the volume of the PE core and you can adjust the thickness of the board precisely as per the batch requirement.

The Extruded PE board then goes to the Rolling Press section, where pressing with the latest technology makes it a flexible yet powerful plastic board with perfectly smooth and flat surface. The pressed board then passes to the Adhesive Film Compound Section where the special adhesive film is applied to the lower and upper sides of the PE board, to pass on to the Aluminium Coil Frame Section.

At this section, the top and bottom Aluminium Coils are placed on the PE board, to pass on to the Aluminium Coil Frame Section. At this section, the top and bottom Aluminium coils are placed on the PE board through a constant tension control system and the board with top and bottom Aluminium coils passes on to the Compounding section , where a oil heating circle system fuses the Aluminium coils to the board at a high temperature.

Next the PE board fused with Aluminium coil passes through a flattening roll and air cooling systems producing finished Gurind ACP. The finished panels then goes to the Protective Film Compounding Section. The Automated Trimming section then cuts and trims the panels in to the required size. The entire manufacturing process is automated and ensures the highest quality by eliminating the possibility of human error.

Features:-

• Manufactured on fully automatic plant. • Right Choice of Adhesive • Top Aluminium coil - store lacquered with weather-resistant PVDF (70%) base coat • Aluminum coils coated in latest hi-tech European plant. • High peeling strength • ACP with its tough 'anti-impact and anti -scratch properties is not damaged even in strong storms or sandy conditions. • Has excellent sound and thermal insulation properties.

Class Apart:-

Following facts make Aluminium Composite Panel a Class Apart:- The Key Coating Component     • KYNAR 500® resin- a fluoro- polymer with remarkable bonding properties of its molecular structure- the carbon/fluorine bond (one of the strongest bond)     • Life expectancy of 20 yrs of PVDF coating.     Adhesion     • The perfect bonding between the Aluminium coil & core achieved by using adhesive film manufactured from raw material sourced from DUPONT USA.     The highest quality bonding ensures:       • Avoids de-bonding & bubbling         Core material         • Improved binding strength.       • High Acoustic Value.     • Non Brittle central core     • Heat Resistance     Protective Film     • ACP is covered by a protective film.

Application of the film during manufacturing process protects the plain top coated surface while handling, fabrication & installation.

Handling& Storage   Storage 1. Always store Gurind ACP horizontally face to face & back to back on the pallet to prevent bending or warping.   2. Group panels to be placed according to thickness and colour, when storing to avoid unnecessary handling.   3. Store away from rain, dripping water and other environmental hazards. Maintenance  To remove soil and dirt, wipe with water, applying moderate pressure. If necessary, a mild detergent solution can be used. Never use paint removers, acids, thinners, scrubbers or sharp metals for cleaning. Protective Film The protective film should be removed within 45 days of installation at the maximum to avoid any damage or contamination by the surface bonding material.   Drilling   Always use drill bits for aluminium sheets and plastic panels. For larger holes use a drill bit with a locating point. Routing   Conventional routing equipment can be used. Plastic or wood vice jaws should be used to avoid pressure marks when chucking the work pieces. Shearing   Can be done with a guillotine. All blanking tools should be padded to avoid marks. Bending      Can be bent to inside bending radius r = 15 x t (panel thickness), with the help of a folding table. Screwing   Conventional stainless steel, wooden, sheet metal or metal screws should be used. For external use, panel expansion should be taken into consideration. Folding (by routing)   Can be done manually after routing a V-groove on reverse side with a panel saw with milling attachment or hand-milling cutter. Edge Smoothing   Use file with rasp like cut, to file any roughly cut corners. Pressing   Use brake press for min. inside radius r = 15 x t (panel thickness) Punching   A steel band tool on a punching base should be used for panels of 2 to 3 mm thickness. Or conventional sheet punching machines for any thickness.
