We love it colourful!
At MBW Metallbearbeitung Wertheim GmbH, things are sometimes very colourful – which has been possible since August 2012, when a new automatic powder coating system went into operation at the Reinhardshof production location with the new assembly hall. MBW has been reaching new dimensions since then with the extended depth of manufacturing …
… with a view to part dimensions and surface qualities, but also with a view to cycle times and environmental compatibility. With the pre-treatment and powder-coating system, MBW can surface treat parts up to a size of 1.60 x 1.80 x 4.00 m in the highest of qualities. The parts, which can weigh up to 400 kg, are transported through the system by means of “power & free” conveying. In a watery, wet chemical de-greasing and iron phosphating sequence, they are pre-treated to start with before they are optimally coated when passing through the powder spraying cabin.
Faster flow, less logistics
After this, the powder coating is baked in the baking oven. When the parts have cooled down sufficiently, they go on to delivery or to assembly, where they are processed further. As a result of the extension of the range of services by a powder coating system, the MBW team has been able to reduce the cycle times by four to five working days, and the necessary logistics were also considerably reduced. With the powder coating system, the fine sheet metal specialist MBW has extended its range of services by a highly capable, process-safe component which provides the customers with flexibility and products in the highest surface quality – no matter which colour!

- power coating/lacquering
- galvanising
- laser inscriptions
