Install-It-Yourself Pretreatment Station cleans and pretreats assemblies of all shapes and sizes. It is most often used for metal preparation before powder or wet coating. The Operator Control Panel (below) containing the relays, contactors and manual control switches is built to NEMA-12 requirements and is UL listed.

Features & Benefits: Simple four-step operation. Portable and expandable. All clean, rinse and pretreatment operations contained in one station. A closed-loop pretreatment chemical system which reduces chemical cost. A multi-stage filter system which cleans all solutions to 10-micron particle size.Station is completely above ground, so no trenches are required. 5000-pound rack load capacity. Heated pretreatment tank. Custom features available include an evaporator for “zero-discharge” system and RO/DI rinse capability.

THE PRETREATMENT STATION CONTAINMENT UNIT

The Containment Unit is a steel drain platform with a fiberglass covering the entire top surface area. A stainless steel 40-mesh screen captures large particles and dirt.The waterproof Over-spray Curtains are attached to the containment unit on two or more sides to contain all solutions.The Drainage system, an integral part of the containment unit, includes a connection to the drain hoses for transfer of all process solutions to the Processing Unit.

THE PRETREATMENT STATION PROCESSING UNIT

The Process Unit base provides a structure for the process equipment and serves as an over-spill reservoir with a drain for further processing or disposal.The Process Unit sump pumps transfer the process solutions from the containment unit into the filter system. The Multi-stage Filter System provides 50-, 10- and 5-micron disposable filters.A Low-Volume/High-Pressure Pump (2 gpm/up to 1500 psi) is used with a Stainless Steel Spray Wand to remove all soils and contaminants from the metal substrate and features a cleaning-chemical-solution injector port for greater cleaning flexibility.Pneumatic Valves control the flow of solutions throughout the system during the wash, rinse and pretreatment processes.A Pretreatment-Solution Transfer Pump is used to transfer pretreatment chemicals up to 60 psi to the Pretreatment Spray Wand.The transfer pump also recirculates the solution in the heated pretreatment-solution container to maintain consistent temperature.Recycling and containment of all phosphates or pretreatment chemicals reduces cost and supports environmental initiatives.Pretreatment chemical solution control is maintained by manual standard titration methods.
