Manufacturing Processes We Offer
3-Stage Chemical Wash System
Our large continuous conveyor spray washer uses a three-stage chemical process to remove soils and contaminants and produce a conversion coating on the part substrate — preparing parts for powder coating, painting, or other downstream finishing with improved adhesion and corrosion resistance.
Sandblasting
High-pressure abrasive blasting removes rust, scale, and old coatings to prepare surfaces for welding, powder coating, or painting, and to strip and clean parts down to a uniform surface.
Powder
Coating
A dry finishing process that applies a durable, hard, abrasion-resistant powder coating in virtually unlimited colors and textures, for both high-volume automated production and one-off custom batches.
A durable, professional wet paint finish for properly prepared parts, products, and assemblies — compatible with metal, wood, plastic, fiberglass, and composite surfaces, with custom color and finish options.
