FNT is a lead exporter of steel cabinets in China. We take the quality route, and our steel cabinets have good quality and low cost. For the Southeast Asian market, we have spot goods, support customization, and can deliver them quickly. Now, I will share the Southeast Asian purchasing guide for steel cabinets-material and process.

Metal File Cabinet

Base Material Selection-Cold Rolled Steel Plate

The base material of steel filing cabinets is generally cold-rolled steel plate , and its thickness directly affects the load-bearing capacity and durability.

  • Basic standard : bare plate thickness ≥ 0.6mm (thickness increases by 0.1-0.2mm after spraying), below this standard, it is easy to deform
  • Extreme scenarios : Typhoon areas (such as the Philippines) require 0.8mm thickened steel plates, with a load-bearing capacity of up to 80kg/layer
  • Tips to prevent false labeling : Ask suppliers to provide bare board thickness and thickness after spraying

Processing – Electrostatic Powder Coating

Working principle : The powder particles are charged by a high-voltage electrostatic field, adsorbed to the cabinet surface, and then cured at high temperature to form a coating.

Technical advantages :

  • Zero formaldehyde technology: Environmentally friendly powder coatings are used to replace traditional paints, reducing VOC emissions by 90%;
  • Recycling: Steel recycling rate ≥ 95%, the Indonesian market requires recycled materials to account for ≥ 60% 
  • Excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the coating

Core Processing: Eight Processes from Steel Plate to Steel Cabinet

steel cabinets needs to go through five stages: “cutting-forming-welding-surface treatment-assembly”, including 8 key processes:

  1. Cutting: Shearing machine cuts cold-rolled steel plate to designed size (error ≤ 0.5mm);
  2. Stamping: reserve corners, lock holes, slide rails and other structures;
  3. Bending: The bending machine completes the internal and external folding (angle error <1°);
  4. Welding: Laser seamless welding technology improves the moisture resistance of the joints (traditional spot welding is prone to water seepage);
  5. Electrostatic spraying: Environmentally friendly powder coating is cured at 200℃ to form a 0.1mm coating;
  6. Accessory installation: The error of the three-level silent slide rail is ≤0.2mm, and the C-level lock core has better anti-theft performance;
  7. Quality inspection: diagonal deviation ≤ 2mm, drawer opened and closed 5000 times without jamming;
  8. Packaging: Pearl cotton + corrugated paper for anti-collision, additional moisture-proof film is required for sea transportation
