Chemcoater entered into operation on coil-coating line 3 Siegerland
The new chemcoater is operating on coil-coating line 3 at ThyssenKrupp´s Siegerland location. The chemcoater operates on the basis of a reuse process so that no wastewater is produced except in the subsequent rinsing operation.
"This six million euro investment virtually eliminates the need for chromium-based corrosion-protection pretreatments for organically coated parts," team coordinator Ralf Wittkowski told STEEL GRIPS. "By using zinc-magnesium hot-dip coated starting material, we achieve better corrosion protection results with thinner zinc coatings."
Modernization project coil-coating line 3 began three years ago. During the three-week shutdown when the chemcoater was installed maintenance and cleaning work was also carried out.
The paint- and film-coated steel produced on this line is supplied in the form of coil, slit strip and cut-to-length sheets for use in the construction, appliance, garage door and automotive industries.
