The plastic coatings are applied in our production in Brummen (NL) or in Kahla (D) using thermal processes. The parts to be coated are heated in indirectly fired ovens, after which the coatings are applied. The coating techniques we mainly apply are:
- Fluidized bed coating
- Electrostatic powder spraying
- Rotomoulding
Depending on the type of coating and the number of parts to be coated, the delivery time is between 1 or 2 working weeks. Please contact our team if you want to make special arrangements. We always want to think along with our customer.
Kersten has applied plastic coatings to metals since 1967. Initially from Eerbeek, but a few years later Kersten moved to Brummen. In 1995 a second location was started up in the East of Germany, Kahla in Thüringen.
