Coating centre in Dortmund.

Thermico's coating centre , ZfP Dortmund
A system consisting of
- refined powder materials – systems technology developed specifically for that material – process control adapted to the specific material.
Our own laboratory conducts the analyses to verify the coatings.
*Processes applied: *
- HVOF
- nanoHVOF® more info here
- atmospheric plasma spraying
We operate four robot-based coating chambers.
All chambers are equipped for internal and external coating.
Two chambers are equipped for internal HVOF coatings using rotating spray gun technology (RMTU).
A mobile Accuraspray G-3C system to measure particle temperature and velocity may be used in all chambers, including mobile PFI-s LINSPRAY process monitoring.

All process media in our spraying installations are mass flow controlled. Process parameters are specified in recipes and cannot be altered inadvertently. Our Thermico Thermal Spray control software constantly reconciles set and actual values of all media, continuously monitoring the process and making it reproducible.
We convey all powders with our mass flow controlled CPF2 powder feeders featuring scales and display units. They are suitable for feeding standard and ultrafine powders with utmost precision CPF
We select the chemical composition and particle size distribution of powder materials depending on their applications according to customer specifications here.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us, we will find a solution for your coating issues.
