This results in improved surface finish, reduced product 301-797-3503 rejects, increased fluid lifespan, reduced downtime and extended tool pdcreative.us life, the company says. The automated cleaning function is designed to save maintenance Multi-stage Pretreatment Prepares Parts for Finishing time and ensures that production is not interrupted. A timed signal activates the cleaning process, the magnetic rods are withdrawn from the filter chambers, and the ferrous contamination is purged to a tank Designed to prepare parts for painting, plating or other industrial or reclaim unit. finishing processes, Therma-Tron-X's multi-stage pretreatment :: Eclipse Magnetics Ltd. systems use spray, immersion or combination methods to remove 905-401-8497 dirt, oils and contaminants from part surfaces, and then apply eclipsetoolsinc.com phosphate or conversion coatings to help prevent corrosion and increase paint adhesion. The systems can be fabricated using mild or stainless steel. Slotted roof designs protect conveyor lubricant from contaminating parts, and piping and nozzles are fitted with quick disconnects for easier maintenance. The pretreatment systems also are PLC-controlled, have automatic startup and shut down programs, and are designed with computer-aided rinse ratios that enable reduced water usage and, in some cases, create a zero discharge system, the company says. :: Therma-Tron-X Inc. 920-743-6568 therma-tron-x.com productionmachining.com :: 53
