Basic Application Fields Cutting Punching / Fine Blanking Injection Molding

Flexible Coating Application Oriented Different objects (e.g. tools) are not coated with one universal coating, but in separate batches with the optimal coating for their individual applications. User Oriented Large and small part quantities can be coated according to the customer's specifications. Users can create new coating brands to coat special parts for highest performance and their own marketing. Large Volume Coating Standard Coating for All Pieces In industrial mass coating, different types of substrates are often coated together. While high volumes may raise profitability, coating...

Integrated Coating PLATIT's coating units are suitable for integration into the manufacturing process. This creates the opportunity to • generate new coatings (such as nanocomposites) and coating brands • reduce logistics, transport, and storage costs • operate with own pretreatments, tool geometries and keep them confidential • manage the quality and timeline for entire production internally • create earnings through coating End Product cardboard boxes Cylinders for punching and folding with coated segments Insourcing the coating process does not require more staff than that for logistics,...
