Description

This capability focuses on our ability to armor steel machine elements with high-performance elastomers. By coating rigid bodies, we combine the structural strength of steel with the chemical and mechanical advantages of PUR and Vulkollan.

We specialize in the high-precision coating of steel bodies for transportation and packaging systems. These coated wheels, drums, and rollers are essential for synchronized, slip-free pallet and concrete tile movement. Unlike rubber, our PUR coatings provide precisely controllable abrasion resistance and excellent resistance to mineral oils and solvents, ensuring a long-life surface that does not mark the concrete product even under heavy industrial use.

Following the coating process within our Strategic Manufacturing Circle, all rotation-symmetric bodies are cylindrically ground to ensure absolute concentricity and the precise synchronization required for high-speed production. We process semi-finished, high-performance polyurethanes (PUR) from the world's most renowned manufacturers.

Our PUR elastomers are characterized by an exceptional recovery profile, returning to their original geometry after unloading. With a functional temperature range from -40 degrees C to +80 degrees C (short-term peaks up to +110 degrees C), our polyurethane components maintain high elongation and elastic behavior in the harshest industrial climates. For the most demanding applications, we utilize Vulkollan (based on Desmodur 15), manufactured in cast, foamed, or molded forms with a hardness of 65-92 Shore-A, offering high impact elasticity and low compression set.
