𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿: “Hey take a look at this! We don’t need to bring an extra set of clothes to work to change into before we can get back into our cars! I’ve been coating all day and this is all the powder I have on me!” 𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗼 DeGeest Corporation 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻: “I could tell right where you turned it on, right to the rack. The parts have a smoother appearance and the corners have complete coverage.” We hear these stories time and time again from customers about Polifluid Optimization. The difference this technology provides, for a companies bottom line, and most importantly the lives of their employees, is clear. Polifluid, patented by Eurosider, filters standard compressed shop air to leave only Nitrogen. Polifluid super chills the humidity-free Nitrogen to create a constant temperature throughout the entire powder system to produce better first-pass transfer efficiency and provide a more consistent film build on parts.

As a manufacturer in the finishing industry, how many times a week do you discuss these topics: • Reduce costly quality issues • Cut operational costs • Increase employee engagement These are common pain points for many manufacturers. And the best way to find solutions, is to hear and connect from others who’ve been there and have implemented changes to solve these common problems. Mark your calendars for 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟭𝟵 at 11:00 AM EST to join our President, Derek DeGeest as he discusses these topics and more about 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄, in a free webinar hosted for The Powder Coating Institute (PCI).

As our Proven Path to Automation, LestaUSA recommends adding Nitrotherm to your 𝙡𝙞𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙙 𝙘𝙤𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 and start realizing savings now. Nitrotherm eliminates variables so you can get more control over paint delivery, regardless of season or temperature. Nitrotherm Spray is a patented liquid spray technology system by EUROSIDER SAS and integrated by DeGeest Corporation that works with your existing manual or robotic equipment. Nitrotherm replaces conventional compressed air with heated, ionized nitrogen as the spray carrier. Nitrogen is cleaner, dryer, and atomizes more effectively while ionization is added to improve transfer efficiency. By continuously heating the temperature of the nitrogen, your paint becomes more fluid which reduces orange peel. Side by side studies show the clear difference this technology provides with unprecedented control resulting in a better quality finish with significant savings. Our robotic technology combined with Nitrotherm is changing the way painting is done, streamlining the integration process, and allowing manufacturers to start saving up to 30% on your coatings.

Having proven robotic technology is only part of the automation puzzle. It also requires qualified products and a tested process. LestaUSA applied new technology, Polifluid, to help existing coating systems control humidity and temperature to produce better first-pass transfer efficiency and provide a more consistent film build on parts. Polifluid, patented by Eurosider, filters standard compressed shop air to leave only Nitrogen. Polifluid super chills the humidity-free Nitrogen to create a constant temperature throughout the entire powder system. 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴: • Up to 30% savings in powder • 10-20% increase in production • Better transfer efficiency • Reduction in rework Before putting the robots to work, you need a tested process. That’s why our parent organization, DeGeest Corporation, created a Proven Path to Automation. This step-by-step approach guides businesses at any stage of the automation process, leveraging our experience to create effective integration strategies and a stronger standard for your business. When you combine proven robotic technology like LestaUSA, qualified products like Polifluid and a tested process like a Proven Path to Automation, you get a turn-key solution that upskills employees and meets manufacturing demands.

There’s no greater result than seeing your customer experience success after implementing new technology. Bob Sumerel Tire came to LestaUSA through our partner IMI, which makes specialized wheel blasting and IR ovens for wheel industry. After reviewing their goals, and breaking down the required process zones, we designed an automated wheel finishing system to fit into their facility and operate by their current team to meet their increase in production. With our proven robotic system, Bob Sumerel has a turn-key solution that lets them finish more wheels without hiring by upskilling the people they already had.

In wheel refinishing, zones matter. In the many robotic wheel refinishing systems we have installed, and the thousands of wheels we help coat a day, there is a common theme that can significantly increase wheel output. Zones. We created a system indicating zones for a 2 person team to master the processes of coating wheels. Our President, Derek DeGeest, sat down with Brad Ruppert, DeGeest Corporation's applications specialist and director of automation, to discuss the robotic solution they created for the wheel refinishing industry, on our podcast, Manufacturing a Stronger Standard. ”We believe finishing integration is more than just providing a robot that sprays parts. From assessment and system design, all the way through integration and on-site application training, we created a solution that was born in a production environment and tested by our team that uses what we sell every day.” - Derek DeGeest, President of LestaUSA and DeGeest With the LestaUSA Automated Wheel Refinishing System, you can get a total solution that lets you finish more wheels without hiring and upskilling the people you already have.

Last week our President, Derek DeGeest, and Director of Marketing, Alicia DeGeest, were invited by the South Dakota Governor's Office of Economic Development to the Governor’s State of the State address. From hearing the Governor’s “Top 10” list and visiting with legislators and other community members, it’s clear that South Dakota is a great place to live and work and has visionary leadership guiding us. Our parent organization, DeGeest Corporation, has proudly been operating from South Dakota for almost fifty years. While we serve customers across North America and the world, working and operating here is what creates our Stronger Standard. We’re proud to call South Dakota home and will continue to be a part of our state’s future success by advocating that Freedom Works Here so that we can secure new business through strategic partnerships and attract more skilled trades back to our state.

If you’re considering changes to your manufacturing business this year, here are key areas to focus on: - 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Our parent organization, DeGeest Corporation, knows that automation done right isn’t just about adding robots to a production line - it’s about developing a strategic approach that prepares your company for this new technology adoption. Moving to automation without first addressing the issue of relying on the tribal knowledge of those key people to overcome the variables will prevent your investments from delivering their expected returns. - 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗩𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀: Most solutions focus on creating repeatable programs, but there are so many variables in the finishing process that aren’t being controlled. Pulling from our lived experience, DeGeest is helping to educate the market on this. Rather than generating painting programs, we’re working to address all the variables and create solutions to make a scalable process. - 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲: Today’s workforce seeks employers who have integrated solutions, technology and automation. They want to know that there’s a future in the work that they’re doing. As soon as they can see the career potential, then the rest of the world of finishing is there for them to be able to better grow into. Solutions exist to make these changes. From job shop work to turn-key solutions with our LestaUSA Self-Learning Painting & Finishing Robots, our lived experience offers proven wisdom to create a Stronger Standard for your company.
