Air Plasma Spray (APS)
CabCoat – APS (Air Plasma Spray) is the most commonly used plasma spray coating process. It works on ambient atmosphere, creating high-quality and repeatable coatings using a wide range of materials: metal alloys, carbides, blends, cermets, abradables and oxide ceramics. It is used for wearing and corrosion protection and thermal insulation, as well as repair and restoration in several industrial sectors.
Coating equipment is set up as individual production units or as an integrated part of a complete manufacturing line.
Lincotek Equipment has developed specific solutions for the integration of Spray Core items with specially designed, state-of-the-art handling and peripheral components, giving you the overall coating process they are looking for. Typical coating equipment consists of core items, handling elements and peripheral components.
Lincotek Equipment offers everything from core items up to peripheral components in one customized package, or as stand-alone component integrated into existing coating equipment. These include:
| SPRAY CORE | HANDLING | PERIPHERAL |
|---|---|---|
| Controller System | Robot | Booth |
| Gun | Lathe | Ventilation |
| Powder Feeder | Tilting | Filter Systems |
| Power Supply | Carousel | |
| JAM Box |
