Dip spin coating

Brief description

The dip-spin process is a common process for coating bulk materials. It can be used both Basecoats (zinc flake coatings)The application of the lubricants is also possible with the new lubricants and topcoats.

Properties:

• Safe coating of cavities and undercuts

• High corrosion protection and weather resistance

• Use of property-optimised coating agents

• Single and multiple shift systems possible

• Definition of sliding and friction coefficient windows possible

• Protection against mechanical, thermal and chemical stress

The bulk material is loaded into a basket, whereby the filling quantity depends on the component geometry and weight. The loaded basket is first lowered into a dip tank containing the coating agent.

This is individually adapted to your requirements and wishes. While the basket is still in the dip tank, it is slowly centrifuged. By changing the position of the parts and removing bubbles in the coating agent, this improves the cross-linking process.

After dipping the basket, it is lifted out of the dip tank and centrifuged again. In this way, excess coating agent is spun off the components, which can be collected in the dip tank and reused. There are a number of parameters that influence the process and the quality of the coating. These include, among others, the immersion time, the spinning speed, duration and direction, but also the loading and viscosity of the coating agent.

Now that the components are fully coated, the coating agent is dried and fully cross-linked in a continuous oven. At KLEVER, we have state-of-the-art, fully automatic equipment for dip-spin application, as well as the necessary know-how to fulfil all your wishes and requirements.
