Surface Treatment – PHOSPHATE COATING

Monday, 25 January 2021 / Published in Surface Treatment

When ferrous and other metals come into contact with air, they get oxidized and cause corrosion. The applied surface treatments prevent the formation of corrosion and protect the metal.

 

There are two types of phosphate coating processes.

 Zinc phosphate coating is a crystallized conversion coating formed on the metal surface. In this way, surfaces resistant to corrosion are obtained. Zinc phosphate provides a great adhesion surface for Paint and organic coatings and reduction of friction coefficient when applied with oil.  

Manganese Phosphate is generally used with materials such as oil to reduce the friction coefficient of moving metal surfaces such as impellers, gears, pistons to each other, to prevent wear and to ensure maximum protection of parts against corrosion. It acts as a layer on the surface. Phosphate Coating Phosphate coating of iron and steel occupies an important place among surface treatment methods. The steps of Manganese phosphates include degreasing/cleaning, water rinses, pickling in mineral acid, activation, manganese phosphating, an optional final drying, and lubrication using oils or emulsion

Phosphating processes are generally as follows.

  • MEchanical cleaning
  • Rinsing
  • Cleaning and degreasing
  • Rinsing
  • Activation Phosphating
  • Rinsing
  • Pasivation or neutralisation

The duration of the processes can be extended or shortened or changed according to the conditions. For example, if there is no rust on the metal, the rust removal process is not applied. However, some periods can be combined. For example, phosphating and degreasing can be applied in the same bath. If phosphating is to be applied to an aluminum or magnesium surface, the metal surface must be completely free of oil, rust and other dirt.These metals needs some special chemicals.

Powder Coating Plant for Agricultural Machinery

Monday, 30 November 2020 / Published in Surface Treatment

We contribute to our country’s economy with the contribution we provide to agricultural machinery manufacturers.

Production-oriented policy is needed to transform its agricultural potential into wealth. When many problems experienced today are solved with a policy that supports production instead of imports, the agricultural sector will be the most important dynamic of growth.

 

We had the land and people in place to be successful in our country, however, he needed more efficient equipment and a refined layout. ILKE Industrial helped solve problems in agricultural machinery factories.

 

As agricultural machinery factories evaluated their day-to-day operation with their previous equipment, it was obvious there was a significant amount of efficiency to be gained in the paint department.

 

Facilities specially designed for Agricultural Machinery companies generally consist of the following processes.

 

Sanding Application Booths

Washing Booths

Drying oven

Primer Paint Application Booths

Primer Paint Flash Off Booths

Powder Coating Application Booths with Mono Cyclone

Powder Coating Cooking Booths

Wheels are painted in ILKE’s Spraybooth, in Turkey.

4M VENTURY TYPE PRIMARY COAT APPLICATION BOOTH

İLKE, as a world brand, is preferred in many sectors.  We are proud to be the primary choice of wheel factory.

In this Project, the fresh air taken from atmosphere with 18.000m3/H capasity fan, pass through EU3 filters for dedusting, forwards consistently inside of the booth. Beside this, fresh air that taken from Atmospher heated to 22-25 C° for  ideal paint spraying temperature.

With a circulation pump, a closed loop water flow is obtained. Water is transmitted to the water slots on bottom side of the booth, than with gravity a water curtain is created on metal surface. The suction fans on the ceiling causes the surrounding air to pass through this water curtain with a specific speed, with this way the paint particles that moves along with the air moves towards the venture system. Thanks to this, the floating excess paint particles after painting contact with water and disported from the surrounding air.

With our system, the water of the painting cabins will be cycled and it will not be necessery to change the water for 6 months – 1 year.

With our system the cabins will stay clean and in good condition. Maintanence and cleaning expenses will be decreased by 60-90%. Amount of the water used, will be reduced to 40%-50% of the current amount.

The booth’s working time can be observed on the electronic command panel. So that maintenance periods can be easily controlled.
