EUROCOLD PLURITANK 70/80P

EUROCOLD PLURITANK 70/80P

This unique cleaning system is pre-programmed to properly cleanse your items prior to coating. The items are loaded into a basket and the robotic arm transfers the contents automatically through the machine. This process helps ensure that all items being coated are free from particles, dirt, and other potentially problematic contaminants.

 

HOW ADVANCED COATINGS SERVE YOUR APPLICATION

Coatings from ACS extend the life and enhance the performance of a wide range of bits, tools, parts, and components for numerous manufacturing and fabrication tasks:

Cutting

  • reduces abrasive, adhesive, and crater wear on tools for wet, dry, and high-speed machining, as well as ARC droplets and friction between tool and chip

Punching

  • reduces effects of friction on punches, molds, and dies

Forming

  • reduces friction, wear, edge build-up and striation during extrusion, molding, deep drawing, and coining, minimizing the need to re-polish functional surfaces

Injection Molding

  • reduces wear and roughness while improving surface texture and “release” to permit shorter cycle times

Tribology

  • reduces abrasive wear for dry operations, which eliminates the need for environmentally damaging lubricants
