The company placed the order with Poeton after sample coatings proved that the combination of Poeton's new semi-automated electroless nickel line and the Eden environmental system, provided consistently high standards of corrosion protection for a range of steam traps and control and metering products.
Explains Poeton managing director Colin John: "Eden provides continuous and very precise control of the electroless nickel solution, which means we achieve much more consistent plating rates and finer tolerances".
A spokesman for Spirax Sarco agrees: "We were impressed with Poeton's ability to deliver such a high quality, 'right first time' corrosion resistant coating, and equally impressed with the more attractive finish it provided for our cast iron components".
The steam traps are coated with Apticote 400, a nickel composite coatings that combines the protection of low friction polymers with the natural hardness and corrosion resistance of nickel to provide superior wear, abrasion and chemical resistance.
To ensure on-time delivery for Spirax Sarco's monthly production schedule, Poeton also provides a weekly collection and delivery service and has the flexibility to operate its electroless-nickel lines 24-hours a day to meet any increases in demand.
