POWDER COATING

With our powder coating installation, we provide sheet metal single parts and welded metal components with a high-quality coating. Because we can carry out powder coating in-house, we keep a firm grip on our production process. There is no need for intermediate transport to an external paint shop, which keeps lead times short. Additionally, we are flexible in our scheduling. With our installation, we can achieve the S2 class as specified by Philips Industrial Paint Systems.

POWDER COATING SUPPLIER

The added value of Contour as a supplier for powder coating is mostly reflected in the surface quality we can achieve.

Achieving this quality is not only about the coating process itself, which we perform at a high level, but also about the coordination and quality of the preceding operations. Only with extremely careful finishing of weld seams and burrs can you achieve the best results.

Energy efficient

After applying powder coating to the product, the coating is cured in a large stoving oven. In this oven, the products are heated to around 180 °C. This process uses a relatively large amount of energy. In 2024, our stoving oven was completely replaced by a hybrid stoving oven.

With this hybrid stoving oven, we have been able to make our production process more sustainable. The hybrid oven can be heated not only with gas, but also with electricity. We generate a large portion of this electricity ourselves with our solar panels. We then make smart use of the waste heat from the stoving oven. With the help of a heat exchanger, we use this waste heat in the drying oven.

Because we carry out powder coating at our own location, there is also no CO2 emission from transport to an external paint shop.

In this way, we reduce not only our own CO2 footprint but also the footprint of our customers’ products.
