Do parts to be treated always have to be completely immersed in chemicals?

Do the parts to be trea­ted always have to be com­ple­te­ly immer­sed in che­mi­cals? Isn’t it enough if we only rin­se the are­as neces­sa­ry for the tre­at­ment with che­mi­cals?

The DECKER team addres­sed this ques­ti­on and pre­sen­ted a com­ple­te­ly new sys­tem con­cept for MAHLE: A ful­ly auto­ma­tic sel­ec­ti­ve coa­ting sys­tem in modu­lar design.

Less media con­sump­ti­on, less was­te water and ful­ly auto­ma­tic plant ope­ra­ti­on: By buil­ding this par­ti­cu­lar­ly effi­ci­ent plant, the only one of its kind in the world to date, we can make an important con­tri­bu­ti­on to our cus­to­mer’s suc­cess! The modu­lar design also allows MAHLE to react fle­xi­bly to new through­put requi­re­ments or parts geo­me­tries. A new deve­lo­p­ment with around 50,000 indi­vi­du­al parts, which all have to work tog­e­ther, pre­sen­ted the pro­ject team with a very spe­cial chall­enge. After the final test runs, the final accep­tance is sche­du­led for the begin­ning of June and the sys­tem will be han­ded over to the cus­to­mer!
