Powder Works launches in Bradford and choose Metavate Pretreatment Technology
An exciting new Powder Coating company called Powder Works has opened in the heart of Bradford . Metavate were delighted to work with a forward-thinking start-up and also partner with fabricators Unitech Machinery to bring this project to life . Powder Works commissioned a brand new in-line spray tunnel using our patented PlaforizationTM pretreatment technology to deliver high level corrosion-protection whilst reducing energy consumption , emissions , water usage and production of waste materials . Staff welfare is also paramount at Powder Works and PlaforizationTM allows for a clean and safe working environment .
The new plant was installed at their main factory site in the centre of Bradford , where space was at a premium . Using the unique one-step application of Metavate ’ s Toran 3 product from the PlaforizationTM range the entire system is only 13 metres of conveyorised track , something which could not be achieved using conventional multistage phosphating .
Toran 3 technology degreases , cleans and polymer-coats all metals in one 90 second application at ambient temperature .
Furthermore , no rinsing is required , parts are simply treated and dried so there is no waste to dispose of and no water required whatsoever . Products are then Powder- Coated in a state-of-the-art highly efficient automatic booth .
Another big benefit to Powder Works having chosen PlaforizationTM pretreatment is its multi-metal compatibility . Toran 3 is compatible with all metals , therefore providing complete flexibility for them and their customers . On steel parts Toran 3 routinely exceed 3 or 4 stage iron phosphate levels of salt spray test protection and normally exceed Zinc Phosphate levels from 5 or 6 stage systems . On Aluminium you can count on many times these levels .
Metavate have a range of different PlaforizationTM products which address every type of pre-treatment requirement for individual customers from air-dry products for dip systems , through to products for batch processors and in-line spray tunnels .
Powder Works are reaping the benefits of a system with ;
No water No heat No sludge No VOC
