Product description

colour-coating-line
© Bekaert

Passivation layers are commonly applied in the pretreatment sections of aluminium or steel colour coating lines.

The majority of these coatings are water-based and can be efficiently dried with compact Bekaert GemDryer gas or Webmate electrical infrared systems.

In the primer and top coat drying sections, solvent removal and curing of polyesters, polyurethanes, PVDF have become critical bottlenecks for conventional drying systems. Bekaert Webmate electrical full infrared and Bekaert Webmate hybrid infrared-air ovens are the ultimate compact, flexible and highly efficient solutions for such solvent-based applications.

Coupled with cooling and afterburner sections, they are supplied as complete packages for both vertical and horizontal colour coating line designs in either revamp or greenfield projects.

metal fiber web filter

Situation

Ever-tougher emission standards and legislation are forcing OEMs to develop ever-cleaner engines.

Solution

A sintered metal fiber web made of Bekaert metal fibers is used in a diesel particulate filter to lower the emission and to make filter maintenance redundant.

Result

Customers discover that filtration based on metal fibers is an excellent alternative to traditional ceramic filters.
