How Can the Schubox Help My Shop?
Finishing is becoming a common bottleneck in the manufacturing process as parts pile up until they fully dry/cure. The Schubox Drying Room is dramatically reducing dry/cure times and eliminating bottlenecks in shops across the USA while improving finish quality. It is also benefiting shops in many other ways. Check out this case study which illustrates the many ways the Schubox IR Drying Room helped a growing cabinet shop:
