Our Painting Process – How We Can Guarantee for 7 Years
The durability of our machines is not by chance but the result of a highly specialized painting process that effectively protects against corrosion caused by fertilizers. Here’s how we manage to offer a 7-year warranty on through corrosion and the frame of the PRIMO range.
Stages of the Painting Process
-
Sandblasting
Every component of the machine is initially subjected to a thorough sandblasting process. This step removes all surface impurities, such as rust, oxidations, and residues, creating a clean and rough surface that promotes the adhesion of subsequent paint layers.
-
Pickling
Next, the components are immersed in a pickling solution. This chemical treatment removes any residual contaminants at the microscopic level and further prepares the metal surface, ensuring it is completely free from impurities that could compromise the quality of the painting.
-
Electrophoretic Painting (Cataphoretic)
Electrophoretic painting is an advanced electrochemical process that deposits a uniform layer of primer on every part of the component, even in the most hidden cavities and corners. This base layer provides exceptional anti-corrosion protection, forming an effective barrier against moisture and the aggressive chemicals present in fertilizers.
-
Powder Coating
Finally, we apply a high-thickness powder coating that gives the machine an aesthetically pleasing and highly wear-resistant finish. The curing process in the oven permanently fixes the paint, creating a durable protective layer that maintains its integrity even under the most challenging operating conditions.
Benefits: Maximum Resistance to Corrosion Caused by Fertilizers
Thanks to this four-stage painting process, PRIMO machines achieve:
-
Long-Term Protection: The combination of mechanical and chemical techniques ensures that every component is protected from the inside out.
-
Superior Durability: Cataphoretic and powder coating creates a double barrier against corrosion, extending the machine’s useful life.
-
Resistance to the Agricultural Environment: Designed to withstand the corrosive agents in fertilizers and adverse environmental conditions, our machines maintain high performance over time.
By choosing a PRIMO machine from Maschio Gaspardo, you are investing in equipment that combines technological innovation and build quality. Our commitment to the details of the painting process is the key to offering you an unprecedented warranty in the industry, ensuring that your machine remains efficient and reliable year after year.
