Effective and flexible degreasing thanks to ultrasound Custom system manufacturer FK Galvanik GmbH created a fully automatic anodizing plant with a total of 47 tanks for an important electroplating service provider based in Dresden, Germany. The new large-scale electroplating plant for aircraft parts sets standards in the fields of regular anodizing, hard anodizing, chromating, and dyeing. The equipment in the degreasing and rinsing tanks, which employ a total of 54 ultrasonic systems from Weber Ultrasonics, also makes an important contribution to this. It ensures clean parts that are free of any residues, which in turn secures optimum coating results.
I
t was a fire breaking out at Nehlsen-BWB Flugzeug-Galvanik Dresden GmbH & Co. KG that necessitated investment in a
new anodizing plant. The company, which is part of the Swiss BWB Group, is a longstanding partner to industry and the aviation sector with numerous certifications (QSF-A/B extended workbench with additional capabilities). The quality, capacity, and process stability were therefore all subject to strict requirements, together with the size of the components to be treated in the new electroplating system. The company chose Keltern-based FK Galvanik GmbH (Germany) as its partner for planning, manufacturing, and commissioning the system. For more than 30 years, this special plant manufacturer has been specializing in customer-specific complete solutions for the electroplating sector. It also offers plant modernization, extension, and reconstruction services, as well as manufacturer-independent maintenance and spare parts provision.
Large-scale plant for parts measuring up to 5,000 x 1,800 x 800 mm A fully automatic anodizing plant was designed for NehlsenBWB Flugzeug-Galvanik Dresden GmbH & Co. KG. This plant satisfies current requirements in terms of sustainability, profitability, and occupational safety. It also means that the treatments which were previously performed in three different plants can now all be performed in a single plant. In addition to this, the new plant offers greater capacity and process flexibility, meaning that additional market segments can also be served.
