Equipment Coating - Corrosionpedia

While the primary consideration in choosing the appropriate equipment coating is its ability and reliability to withstand the environmental conditions and functional demands that the equipment will be subjected to, the coating may enhance the equipment&#;s appearance.

Equipment coating is the material applied completely or partially on machines, tools, instruments and other items or articles intended for specific functions, services, purposes or activities to protect them from corrosion or degradation and extend their effective lives with reduced maintenance and parts replacement costs. Equipment coating can also help in the restoration of refurbished equipment to the quality that is almost equal to their original condition.

Corrosionpedia Explains Equipment Coating

The functions, design and other factors affecting various pieces of equipment require coatings that ordinary protective coatings can&#;t provide.

For instance, carbon steel and even stainless steel in cooling ducts or conditioning towers corrode because they are exposed to flue gases. Also, tools for cutting, molding, shaping and stamping metals into their final configurations can corrode and warp due to the extremely high heat, pressure and speeds that they are subjected to. Degraded tools can produce products that are out of shape or of the wrong dimensions.

Boilers and furnaces need equipment coatings like ceramic coating that can withstand temperatures as high as 1,112 °F (600 °C).

Ceramic coatings are made from inorganic, non-metallic materials like clay, which is combined with other materials to form an equipment coating with outstanding protective properties after curing or baking.

Usually coated on metals that need improvement of their functional capabilities and operational lifespan, ceramic coatings are known for their ability to insulate from high temperatures, high resistance to corrosive substances, as well as the hardness to resist wear between movable metal surfaces and to protect the equipment's dimensional stability.

Ceramic coatings are usually applied by vapor deposition, plasma spraying and detonation, while there is continuing research for newer, more effective methods.

Aside from ceramic coating, there are other materials for equipment coatings that are widely used, as follows:

In automotive refinishing coating after body repairs
As marine paints
As traffic marking paint on the streets, airport runways and
on parking lots
In oil field equipment and storage vessels
In food, chemical process, handling, packaging and other equipment that require varying levels of protection that common coating materials can&#;t provide

What are the benefits of coating heavy equipment? | Auburn, WA

At Dirty2Dreamy Detail Services we offer commercial coating services for your excavators, lawn equipment, loaders, concrete layers and just about every piece of large equipment you could ever imagine including Dillano&#;s Industrial Diedrich Coffee roasters. The question is not &#;Can we coat it&#; it is &#;Why would we&#;. I&#;ll be answering this question extensively.

When it comes to heavy equipment, the biggest concern is down time and repairs. There are 3 major reasons to ceramic coat equipment in general and they are as follows: ease of maintenance, reduced down time for both repairs and cleaning and reduced amount of repairs needed over time. I will address each one of these individually.

Ease of maintenance is one of the biggest selling points for any coating in general. The coating provides a protective layer that is much more hydrophobic than paint of clear coat. This lends itself to making cleaning much easier than in the past. Think of it like a non stick skillet or cookie sheet. The protective layer resists contaminants and reduces adhesion. This keeps the surfaces cleaner longer and lends itself greatly to making the wash process much faster. These machines can cost from $ to upwards of the $100,000 range. Keeping them clean and maintained is paramount to keeping them operating and representing your business properly. We have compared data from several large equipment companies and discovered that cleaner machines last longer and have less down time then dirty machines. Check out this video describing some of the client&#;s input about the benefits of having his equipment ceramic coated. You will see from this data that ceramic coating benefits greatly when it comes to equipment life and efficiency of use.

At Dirty2Dreamy Detail Services we are all about reduced downtime and reducing the need for repairs. Jonathan Monson, the owner, personally coats all of his equipment. From polishers to vacuums to heavy equipment, the owners believe in the product because they have personally tested it. Maintenance is key in reducing equipment failures for any piece of equipment. These large loaders and excavators can be a pain to wash due to size. The coating makes this incredibly easier to do because of the aforementioned benefits, but how does that reduce system failures? These rigs are out in the elements on a regular basis. The largest problem you encounter is a dirty rig. A dirty rig collects moisture when operated in the rain and elements. When the rig is dirty this moisture will collect in the dirty areas around hydraulic lines and critical areas of the equipment. We all know moisture is an enemy. Moisture causes decay like rust and oxidation in areas you simply don&#;t want it. The coating we use is spray applied so we are able to coat all hydraulic lines and areas of concern when it comes to moisture. This provides not only an extra layer of protection,but the ability to clean these areas much easier. Keeping these areas clean of debris reduces the likelihood of moisture collection and unwanted downtime for repair.

The third benefit nearly explains itself after reading about the first two benefits. We reduce the need for repairs by adding an additional layer of protection that makes maintenance much easier. A better maintained machine equals fewer machine downtime instances. There is nothing worse than having a machine go down in the middle of a job. It can make a company look unprepared or delay the completed project. We dramatically reduce this by installing our commercial coating and explaining how to maintain the rigs fast and easy. The fact is, a coated machine lasts longer, looks better and is easier to maintain. This in turn reduces overall costs of running the equipment and justifies the additional cost of the coating. It literally sells itself when you understand how it all works.

This was filmed with The Dirt Ninja during the coating process on his John Deere Excavator.
