Typical workflow in a coating center designed by us
The result of our complete solutions considers all necessary process steps around an efficient and highly integrated coating unit. It also incorporates best practices from our decades of experience.
This includes, for example, that some modules (decoating, edge pre-treatment and post-treatment) are ideally set up in a separate room so that the PVD coating process is not adversely affected. The chiller can also be placed in a separate room.
In our turnkey solutions, all interlocking steps are spatially arranged in such a way that effective processes are created, and the available space is optimally utilized:
- Incoming goods
- Cleaning
- Optional: Decoating
- Optional: Edge pre-treatment
- Fine cleaning
- Preparing for coating
- Coating
- Unloading a batch
- Optional: Post-treatment
- Quality control
- Outgoing goods
