Phosphate Machine

Here at Vixen, we strive to manufacture phosphating machines that measure up to the latest technology trends. This Phosphate machine is front loading and comes in many sizes, varying from one to three metres in basket diameter. The basket is static and a boom rotates around this during phosphate washing. This Machine has been developed so that customers incur low running costs.

Configuration flexibility

A further benefit of Vixen’s phosphating machines is that they eradicate chlorinated solvent-related health and safety issues, with the added bonus of better paint adhesion.

How the process comes together

STAGE 1

Load the components

Position the batch or production load for complete pretreatment coverage.

STAGE 2

Clean the surface

Remove oils and process soils before applying the conversion coating.

STAGE 3

Apply phosphate

Controlled chemistry, temperature and spray or immersion action create the required coating.

STAGE 4

Rinse and finish

Rinse, seal or dry as needed before paint or the next finishing step.
