The company Pöttinger in Grieskirchen executes the machine piece’s dip priming and powder coating for WESTTECH.

The process involves the following steps:

Surface preparation: In this process the surface is cleaned and the edges rounded off.
Pretreatment: The automatic handling system conveys the units through the baths.
Priming: This involves a 3-zone CDP (Cataphoretic Dip Priming) process using water-based paint, as used throughout the automotive industry. The advantage of this type of priming system is its excellent corrosion protection and uniform thickness of each coat right into every cavity.
Baking: Optimum adhesion of the primer to the workpiece is ensured by baking at 200°C.
Top Coat: The top coat is applied using powder coating.
Baking: The powder coating finish needs to be baked at about 200°C to achieve the best possible quality.

The advantages for the cataphoretic dip priming are perfectly clear:

excellent corrosion protection
uniform thickness of each coat
every cavity gets coated completely
very eco-friendly due to very little solvents

The outstanding resiliency and durability are marks of this coating process. No cracks will generate in the coating even with stress due to shock or deformation. Likewise, the method is one of the most eco-friendly coating methods. The production and processing happen without any solvent. Westtech uses this coating method with all their machines to achieve the highest possible longevity.
