FAQ

Pretreatment Systems FAQ

Answers to the questions we are asked most often when a finishing line is being planned.

Do you publish tank temperatures and chemical recipes?

Those values are set with the chemistry supplier and the coating specification. XFS Equipment designs the tanks, sprays, heating and conveying around the agreed process.

Pretreatment is a process machine, not a rinse afterthought. The PP-tank spray systems shown here are the same family used on appliance and construction-metal lines built in the XFS Equipment factory.
