Our factory is located in Nanhai District Foshan City, which is one of the most professional gathering places for aluminum profiles in China. You can find many factories of aluminum profiles in Nanhai, but our factory is highly competitive in aluminum profiles in this industry. We have complete advanced production lines as below: 12 extrusion lines, 2 powder coating lines, 2 anodizing line, 2 transfer wood grain line, 1 mechanical polishing production line, 3 sandblasting production lines. We are a large-scale manufacturer of aluminum profiles for windows and doors and aluminum industrial profiles, covering 80,000 square meters, with annual output up to 38,000 tons.

Welcome to our INTOP METAL ALUMINUM factory in FOSHAN GUANGZHOU!
When you want to get your lovely extrusion profiles:
Firstly, we need the CAD drawings and samples of your aluminum profiles for reference. We need CAD drawings that we can see the size of your industrial profiles exactly; But if you can send us some piece of your aluminum section products, we can make the aluminum profiles CAD drawings free for you and produce perfectly the same profiles as your requirement.

At the loading platform, we load the goods into containers here.
The first room we enter is our warehouse. After production, your goods will be packed and stored here. As you can see, so many aluminum profiles for our customers are stored here. We have large production capacity. We manufacture at least 25,000 tons each month.
And this is the packing workshop. Before loading, the aluminum profiles need to be packed for protection. We lay the aluminum profile on the packing table and stick with protective film. And then we put on the “heat shrink”.
This is the vertical line for powder coating. As you can see, we lay the aluminum profiles on the equipment. We hang on the profile through its small hole on the top. And the worker who is in charge of the vertical line will hang the profiles one by one. After hanging finished, the profiles will be slowly transported by the machine to the end of the vertical line — “the coating room”. In the coating house, the aluminium will be sprayed with beautiful surface as you like.
This is the transfer wood grain workshop. There are two work lines for production. Let me introduce the steps for wood grain. At first, we will let the profiles coat the background color as you request, and wrap it with transfer paper then put it in a plastic sleeve. After these steps, we will drain the air of the plastic sleeves to let the transfer paper stick firmly with the profiles. The last step, we put the profiles in the oven under the temperature around 180℃ for 30minutes. These are the main steps for wood grain.
This is the warehouse of our moulds. Before production, we will make the moulds and they have to be checked and confirmed by the customers. Many types of molds of our customers are stored here.
This is the anodized workshop. On the top is the anodized, washing and electrophoresis tanks. We fixed the profiles below, and then the machine will take them to the tanks for washing, cleaning, anodizing or electrophoresis.
These two machines are for sand blasting. This one for steel blasting, and the other one for glass blasting.
This equipment is the polishing machine. Our polishing machine is high-end and in high quality. It can perfectly produce polished surface.
This is our horizontal line for powder coating. Different from the vertical line, they won’t have small hole on the head. The profiles on horizontal line are fixed by small metal clamps, there is a mark cased by metal clamps or fixed line.
This is our melting workshop. There are five equipment. All ingots in our factory are pure, and the aluminum rods are melt without any scrap material to ensure the quality.
This is our extrusion workshop. There are 11 extrusion lines in total. We put the aluminum profile molds into the extrusion machine, and put the aluminum bar in hot shear to cut into small pieces. Then we’re going to push these small pieces into the extruder through the mold and form into the shape as you request.
This is our aging workshop. There are two aging ovens. When the profiles are extruded out, we need to put them into the aging oven to increase their hardness.
Now we have finished visiting all the workshops of our factory. Let’s back to our office and take a break.

The so-called anodizing of aluminum is an electrolytic anodizing process in which the surface of aluminum and aluminum alloys is usually converted into an oxide film, which has protective, decorative and some other functional properties. The anodizing of aluminum starting from this definition only includes the process of forming anodic oxide film.

The metal or alloy parts are used as the anode, and the oxide film is formed on the surface by electrolysis. The metal oxide film changes the surface state and properties, such as surface coloring, improves corrosion resistance, enhances wear resistance and hardness, and protects the metal surface. For example, aluminum anodizing, aluminum and its alloys are placed in the corresponding electrolyte (such as sulfuric acid, chromic acid, oxalic acid, etc.) as the anode, and electrolysis is carried out under specific conditions and external current. The aluminum or its alloys of the anode are oxidized, and a thin layer of aluminum oxide is formed on the surface, the thickness of which is 5-30 microns, and the hard anodic oxide film can reach 25-150 microns. Anodized aluminum or its alloys improve its hardness and wear resistance, up to 250-500 kg/mm2, good heat resistance, hard anodized film melting point up to 2320K, excellent insulation, impact resistance The breakdown voltage is as high as 2000V, which enhances the corrosion resistance and does not corrode for thousands of hours in ω=0.03NaCl salt spray. There are a large number of micropores in the oxide film thin layer, which can absorb various lubricants, and is suitable for manufacturing engine cylinders or other wear-resistant parts; the film micropores have strong adsorption capacity and can be colored into various beautiful and bright colors. Nonferrous metals or their alloys (such as aluminum, magnesium and their alloys, etc.) can be anodized. This method is widely used in mechanical parts, aircraft and auto parts, precision instruments and radio equipment, daily necessities and architectural decoration. [1]

Generally speaking, the anode is made of aluminum or aluminum alloy as the anode, and the cathode is the lead plate. Put the aluminum and the lead plate together in the aqueous solution, which contains sulfuric acid, oxalic acid, chromic acid, etc. form an oxide film on the surface. Of these acids, the most widespread is anodizing with sulfuric acid.

(1) Pretreatment. The surface pretreatment process is generally degreasing and chemical conversion. Degreasing is generally treated with special degreasing agents, whose purpose is to remove the grease, dirt and debris attached to the surface of the aluminum profile during the extrusion process, and to remove the oxide film on the surface of the profile. Chemical conversion treatment is generally chromified or phosphorus-chromified treatment, the purpose of which is to form a layer of chemical conversion film (such as chromified film or phosphorus-chromified film) on the surface of the substrate to enhance the adhesion between the substrate and the coating, and to protect the substrate.

(2) Drying treatment. The purpose of drying is to remove the water carried by the pretreatment process. There are generally two ways of drying, one is natural drying, and the other is high temperature drying. Natural drying, long drying time, low efficiency, enterprises rarely use; Most enterprises are using high temperature drying. High temperature drying should control the drying temperature, the general drying temperature after chrome treatment should not be higher than 65℃. The drying temperature of phosphate-chromium treatment should not be higher than 85 ° C. If the temperature is too high, the chemical conversion film will lose too much water and be destroyed.

(3) Powder coating treatment.
Electrostatic powder treatment
Electrostatic powder treatment is applied the powder to the surface of the aluminum alloy profile through the powder spraying gun to form a protective and decorative organic polymer film. It is to apply negative high pressure to the spray gun and ground the workpiece to form a high voltage electrostatic field between the spray gun and the workpiece.
Electrostatic liquid spraying process
Electrostatic liquid spraying process is to apply liquid coating to the surface of aluminum alloy profiles by electrostatic spraying gun to form a protective and decorative organic polymer film. For acrylic paint spraying and polyester paint spraying, it is generally brush coating, that is, to form a layer of paint film, and fluorocarbon paint spraying generally requires two, three or four coating treatments.

What is the difference between electrophoresis and anodized?

The same point: all use electricity to complete the processing technology.

The difference: there is not much difference in appearance, but the texture is different. Anodizing is oxidized first and then colored, while electrophoresis is directly colored. The two are originally different processes. Anodized is a functional surface treatment with additional coloring, generally mainly on aluminum. On the other hand, electrophoresis focuses on decorative performance, but it is paint after all, and the metallic feeling may not be so good. Electrophoresis is equivalent to applying a layer of resin paint to the metal surface. And anodized is to use electrochemical method to make the surface metal aluminum and oxygen react to form a protective film, the surface has a metallic texture, and the grade is higher. It will be better if the electrophoresis is performed after oxidation.

anodized: anodized, the electrochemical oxidation of a metal or alloy. Aluminum and its alloys are a process in which an oxide film is formed on an aluminum product (anode) under the action of an applied current under the corresponding electrolyte and specific process conditions. Anodizing, if not otherwise specified, usually refers to sulfuric acid anodizing. In order to overcome the defects of aluminum alloy surface hardness, wear resistance, etc., expand the scope of application, and prolong the service life, surface treatment technology has become an indispensable part of the use of aluminum alloys, and anodized technology is currently the most widely used and most successful. of.

Electrophoresis: Under the action of an electric field, charged particles move toward the electrode opposite to it, which is called electrophoresis (EP). The technique of using charged particles to move at different speeds in an electric field to achieve separation is called electrophoresis.
