Coating Competence Center
Special coating techniques are used to make components particularly resilient. This trend continues to grow due to the cost pressure in general. What's more, the spotlight is shifting to coating processes for reconditioning worn components.
In order to better meet this trend worldwide, a centralized interdisciplinary project team has been built by SMS group experts from the fields of Long Products, Research/Development, Service together with their colleagues from the USA and us.
The newly created Coating Competence Center in Moenchengladbach plays a special role here. Our existing coating plant is used to handle components for our customers in the European market.
Next to already proven techniques new applications are also being tested on the plant and analyzed in the lab. This means that, from the middle of the year, all typical processes (HVOF, plasma and wire arc spraying) will be available.
- Currently, components with a size of up to ø1,600mm x 6,500 mm (max. 6,500 kg) can be coated
- Flat components up to 3,500 mm x 1,500 mm can be coated
- Since mid 2022 it is also possible to coat components up to ø 3,000 mm x 910 mm and 16,500 kg
