Atotech has launched its innovative and patented DynaSmart® plating line for corrosion resistant coatings globally, to address the increasing demand for advanced surface finishing equipment in industrial end markets.
DynaSmart® comes with an automation design, which enables several product carriers to be moved simultaneously through different plating tanks. With DynaSmart, customers can process different parts simultaneously according to their specific immersion times and agitation modes, which enables highly flexible and customised production.
Compact in size and available as a modular system, DynaSmart is able to fit into already designed factories. Its simple and efficient installation allows for easy expansion as product demand increases. DynaSmart modules are pre-installed at Atotech’s factory and shipped in standardised freight containers for ‘plug & play’ installation customers worldwide.
Gertjan van der Wal, president of Atotech’s General Metal Finishing (GMF) business unit, said: “We are proud of DynaSmart’s unique capabilities and state of the art technical features. The line maximises efficiency in the production process; offers a high degree of flexibility; and meets the highest safety and sustainability standards – offering true value to our customers.”
In addition to its efficient design, this equipment features a large number of integrated recycling processes, which results in lower consumption of resources and chemicals, as well as providing less wastewater.
Further technical features include an even distribution of the coating thickness through uniform current density – thanks to smaller coating barrels in the compact equipment; maximum production availability thanks to automated maintenance processes in combination with Atotech’s equipment service; as well as high throughput capability of 13,500 tonnes per year, despite the line being only a fraction of the size of a conventional plating line.
The plating line is manufactured at Atotech’s recently expanded production facility in Guangzhou, China, and shipped worldwide. The Guangzhou site complements Atotech’s long-standing production site in Feucht, Germany. In addition to the DynaSmart line, Atotech produces its world-class DynaPlus® plating systems in Guangzhou, as well as a wide range of sustainability enhancing auxiliary equipment for the Asian market.
