With its first commercial installation in late 2001, Progressive Technologies 100HE™ plasma gun has been gaining worldwide acceptance and notoriety within the thermal spray industry as a leader in producing high quality coatings while reducing total costs. “Knowing the record of other high performance plasma systems, we wanted to ensure that we had a verifiable track record and a bullet-proof product” says Bill Barker, Sales Engineer for Progressive.
100HE Plasma systems are currently installed at customer locations in North America, Europe and Asia with an ever increasing list of applications. Some of these applications include:
* Chrome Oxide coatings on anilox rolls at Spray rates of 80-100 grams/minute with deposit efficiencies of greater than 60%. Superior coatings enable laser engraving of up to 3,500 lines per linear inch (12,250,000 cells per square inch)!
* High bond strength 316 stainless steel coatings on butterfly valves. Customer originally planed to use two HVOF systems to achieve the required production rate, but was able to exceed the required production rates with only one 100HE system.
* High porosity thermal barrier coatings and dense vertically cracked ceramic coatings for industrial gas turbine applications.
* Dense dielectric coatings for electronic applications.
* Hard Chrome Carbide wear coatings sprayed at 80 grams/minute and 75% deposit efficiency.
* Friction and wear coatings on large carbon fiber printing rolls.
* Abradable coatings sprayed in aircraft engine compressor sections at major U.S. turbine engine OEM. System can spray at up to 300 grams per minute with 80+% deposit efficiency.
* Ceramic thermal barrier and abrasion resistant coatings on industrial conveyor belts manufactured by a casting equipment OEM.
* Wide range of coating repair operations performed by one of the world’s largest airline engine overhaul facilities.
Progressive continues to develop new applications for the 100HE and is excited to work with industrial companies to reduce their cost of applying coatings.
