BRAND-NEW
Exemplary Teamwork: New Electroplating Drum Unit at Reisser Combines the Know-How of All Participants © Dörken MKS
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.
Excellent example of co-operative project management The goal of Reisser management was to expand the existing coating
capacity and thereby increase productivity. A particular aim was also to offer the long-standing customer Eaton – a worldwide leading provider of pipe connector systems for hydraulics – an even broader spectrum for the In the state-of-the-art electroplating drum unit objects such as fluid parts for various applications can be coated with the DELTA-PROZINC® system.
coating of diverse parts. Against this background the company, part of the Würth Group, joined with the corrosion experts at Dörken MKS and the plant manufacturers A.S.T. and Forplan Surface Technology to construct

an electroplating drum unit tailored to future coating requirements, one of the most modern worldwide in the field of alloy-free zinc technology, opening up further attractive coating options for Reisser as a long-standing Dörken MKS licensee. Matthias Basler (Dörken Application Engineer) was particularly impressed with the trust-based co-operation of all participants: “In a very early stage of the planning all of the parties with their specialist know-how and experience were brought together. Throughout the project the interaction was very open and highly collaborative.”
Specifically tailored to the requirements of plant technology Fluid parts for Eaton will also be coated on the new unit. These are used One-stop coating process employed state-of-the-art centrifuge technology.
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 the other project planners Forplan employed state-of-the-art centrifuge technology as well as a special furnace drying procedure. This ensures especially gentle treatment of the parts during and after topcoat application and enables the even distribution of heat in the drying process, thus achieving a consistently high standard of coating quality.
