Surface treatment | The low-flow specialists

Thermal Spray , Plasma Coating , Powder Coating

Coating is the magic word in the world of surface treatment in which we supply instruments, both standard and customised, for use in plasma coating installations, chemical vapour deposition (cvd), thermal spraying, plasma polymerisation on textiles, etc.

Examples of applications

Plasma Coating installations
Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD)
Thermal Spraying
Plasma polymerisation of textiles and fibers
Painting and other processes in which surfaces are hardened, embellished or provided with a functional layer

Application notes

Plasma Spraying

In for example the automotive and aerospace industries some mechanical parts are highly loaded with temperatures, corrosion and erosion. To protect them against these heavy influences, plasma spraying is the solution.

Ultrasonic flow meter for thermal spraying

Flame Spray Technologies (NL) has integrated the OEM-version of our ultrasonic flow meter in their client-specific thermal spraying solutions to apply coatings to aerospace applications for example.

Spray Dosing

Speed, reproducibility, stability, easy adjustability, is really a must for liquid dosing techniques like spraying. Bronkhorst fully understands these demands, and the value for the equipment manufacturer and end-user.

Carbide end mill coated

Defining and comprehending carbide end mill wear enables both manufacturers and end-users of cutting tools to enhance the longevity of these tools. Furthermore, contemporary coating techniques for end mills, incorporating innovative alloying elements, present an efficacious method for further extending their service life and substantially increasing production output.

Improve flow rate stability for thermal spraying process (HVOF)

The University of Nottingham (UK) uses an ultrasonic liquid flow meter for their research towards protective HVOF coatings for combustion processes.

Improve flow rate stability for thermal spraying process (HVOF)

EMPA uses a Bronkhorst CEM Evaporation and Mixing system for their research towards hydrophobic coating. Vapor flows to create coating. Read their story.

Glass Surface Treatment

The application of paint or labels to surfaces can be trickier than one would expect. If the surface is not properly prepared, the result will be less than perfect. A leading manufacturer of glass coating equipment was looking for a way to improve their coating process and increase their competitive advantage.
