Konbus+ technology for high added-value coatings

Konbus+tecnología para recubrimientos de alto valor añadido

Thanks to Konbus+, HVOAF thermal spray guns can operate in a wide range of process conditions, enabling both conventional materials and those with special characteristics (oxidation-sensitive or nano-structured materials with a low-cost fuel) to be processed.

Furthermore, the new generation of HFPDneo spray guns offer an improved solution to the technology sold by TECNALIA to Praxair in 2002 and which it did not market. This is an alternative with low thermal impact on the part to be coated.

PROBLEM SOLVED BY KONBUS+

The market is calling for the intrinsic limitations of thermal spraying equipment to be overcome, such as the limited range of processable materials and the reduced quality of the coatings generated.

It also seeks to address current demands for efficient cost and consumption savings.

To do so, Konbus+ uses the market-leading technology of high-frequency detonation, HFPD. It is the only solution using this technology on the market.
