AMCOL recommended installing the patented AMCOL Model 3200 In-line Coating System on the mill between the turks head and the cut off. This system, designed specifically for applying liquid storage coatings on tubes and profiles during the production process, integrates an air blow off to remove incoming coolant and then applies a uniform coating of liquid rust preventative to the outer tube surface. Coating weight is adjustable by turning spray points off and on and by adjusting output per nozzle so that individual customer requirements can be met.

The result: The customer was able to improve coating consistency for their customers, offer flexibility of coating weight, and reduce coolant contamination. The tube producer has also reported the additional benefit of a reduction in rust preventative consumption of more than 20%. + Read more about Rust Preventatives & Coating Systems
