Flexibility for Small Businesses

Coating solutions for smaller companies that offer individual solutions are often less about machine utilization and more about flexibility, speed and relieving the few employees. One coating system manufacturer has recognized the need and has a semi-automated coating solution specifically for small businesses and craft enterprises in its program. An interior decorator appreciates the advantages of the system. PDF-Download

Painting Center for More Quality, Efficiency and Flexibility

Heiner Kleine-Wechelmann

A supplier for wood and plastic parts was able to further optimize painting quality, realize a higher throughput and relatively reduce energy use in terms of electricity and heating costs with a new painting center. With the 3-zone booth, the painting and drying area was customized. PDF-Download

Thermal Exhaust Air Purification (Almost) Without Natural Gas

Jutta Denneberg

Solvent emissions - such as emissions of volatile organic compounds - from a wide variety of painting processes can be captured and thermally treated in such a way that they become heat and electricity for production. Ideally, this is possible without the use of additional energy to reach the necessary oxidation temperature. PDF-Download

Effect Powder Coatings With High Circulation Stability

High-quality effect powder coatings are expected to match the effect image and color tone at all times, even with varying system settings. A manufacturer of powder coatings has developed a technology that, according to him, makes this possible. It offers the advantage that the overspray of the powder coatings is 100% recyclable with full effect consistency. PDF-Download

Safety for the Bolted Connection

Whether in mechanical engineering, the vehicle industry, track construction or precision mechanics - solid marking of screwed connections can be found wherever absolute safety of machines or structures is required. The marking serves as a seal of the bolted connection, providing visual security about the strength of the connection. PDF-Download

Even Thinner for Next Generation E-motors

Ana Mendoza

The development of smaller and more powerful electric motors requires more compact laminar cores. A thinner coating is essential for this. A new core plate varnish specially tailored to this application should enable the development of new, more efficient motor types with lower manufacturing costs. PDF-Download

Corrosion Protection Down to the Millimeter

With the production of hybrid and electric vehicles, the requirements for corrosion protection have changed. In certain areas of the vehicle components, however, it is only partially applied. A specific process for the partial coating of components has already proven its worth in a wide variety of customer projects. PDF-Download

A Challenge of Extremes
