Energy Cost Savings Enable Line to Compete with Hard Anodising
01 Nov 2004
Surface treatment specialist Poeton Industries claims that the state-ofthe-art processing line it opened a year ago to meet the growing demand for its Apticote 300 coating, is so energy efficient that it is able to compete with conventional hard anodising processes for most high-quality applications.
Analysis of the line's performance in its first twelve months shows that it is producing the same coating thickness to a higher quality and at a lower operating cost.
The latest advances in process technology, a new solution management system, and continuous 24-hour operation are together providing a 10% saving in energy.
The high-capacity line provides a fast response on a wide range of high quality, low-cost, hard anodising applications. Typical properties include maximum hardness up to 500Hv, excellent wear resistance, 1800 hours ASTM B177.73 salt spray corrosion protection, high dielectric strength, improved fatigue strength and greater load bearing capacity.
