BRAND-NEW
Exemplary Teamwork: New Electroplating Drum Unit at Reisser Combines the Know-How of All Participants A highly-modern electroplating drum unit recently entered operation at Reisser Schraubentechnik in Ingelfingen (Germany). The concept and realisation were undertaken in an exemplary joint project of all parties involved, showing that this can result in significant added value for customers as well as all partners.

Specifically tailored to the requirements of plant technology Fluid parts for Eaton will also be coated on the new unit. These are used in various forms in vehicle engines and in plant engineering, ensuring the optimal fluid flow at connecting points of pipes and pressurised hoses. Due to the numerous challenges, these parts need to satisfy the highest corrosion protection requirements. The high corrosion resistance and outstanding functional characteristics make the galvanic zinc system from Dörken MKS DELTA-PROZINC® ideal for this. To enable a particularly efficient, one-stop coating process, in co-ordination with On the state-of-the-art electroplating drum unit objects such as fluid parts for various applications can be coated with the DELTA-PROZINC® system.
