Why is metal coating important for certain industrial sectors?
The construction industry is one sector in which metal substrates are quite common, usually in applications for use externally, such as windows, doors, sidings or even decorative panels. Metal piping is another product requiring a finishing process, found in general industrial applications. Each substrate, either due to its shape or due to its final destination, will need to undergo a different finishing process. These processes include:
- Coating: mostly performed using spray coating technologies and equipment, roller coating and vacuum coating techniques are also used for specific products.
- Wrapping: aluminium profiles that may be a part of a window frame can be wrapped on high-tech, automatic machinery to improve their look and feel.
- Industrial digital printing: enables attractive personalisation of the surface, and both large volumes as well as batch one assignments.
- Drying: following most coating processes, a drying stage is required to maintain constant line output.
