Our company
Our private company located in Písek has been providing the electroplating services for more than 23 years, since 1995 when it was established. In response to the increasing demand of customers for surface treatment, our company has been extended and upgraded with new technologies. At present, there are several automatic lines available, both for barrel and rack electroplating, all of them utilizing COVENTYA technology.
Up to 1,000 t of material is treated in our plating lines each month. Quality inspection is guaranteed in compliance with the applicable standards and regulations and the quality management system according to which the company is certified.
With its automated barrel and rack lines, the company is able to provide efficient corrosion protection of metal parts.
The types of surface treatment offered by the company are used for example in the building, automotive or electrical industry. Galvanized steel may also be a solution for manufacturers of metal parts.
Electroplating is an electrolytic process applied in particular on electro-conductive materials (metals), in which a (zinc) metal anode is gradually dissolving in the bath. As a result, a layer of zinc is deposited on the metal parts that function as a cathode. Each plated batch of parts may be accompanied with a quality certificate as the customers require.
Once a quotation is completed, parts may be received for production (plating process), which takes three to seven business days (depending on individual orders). Plated parts may be accompanied with a quality certificate as requested and delivered by the company vans to a place indicated by the customer.

ZnNi alloy plating
Parts are protected with direct passivation or plated with ZnNi alloy in automated barrel plating lines with annual capacity of 9,600 t using the latest COVENTYA technology. In the electroplating bath, a layer containing 85-88 % of zinc and 12-15 % of nickel is applied on the metal parts in three separate lines available. After plating, the surface may be improved with a black or transparent passivation, as per the customer request. Finally, the parts are lubricated to reduce the friction coefficient or sealed to achieve even higher corrosion resistance.
galvanic bulk
Drums or barrels are used particularly for plating smaller parts or fasteners that are loaded in electroplating barrels and transported to the plating line. Alkaline zinc plating in barrel may be complemented with two kinds of passivation – blue and thick-layer passivation as well as with lubrication. The annual capacity of the line is 1,000 t.
galvanic
Thick-layer passivation, inhibition of tubular parts and sealing may be applied.
Acid bath:
maximum dimensions: 1,200 × 700 × 250 mm
Alkaline bath:
maximum dimensions: 2,700 × 1,200 × 300 mm
Procedures
There are 4 various technologies available (zinc plating, ZnNi alloy plating, anodising, zamak passivation) as well as several colour variants of the surface treatment. Based on your inquiry, a quotation is prepared (depending on the specified thickness layer and yearly demand). Once the parts are received, they are processed within 3-7 days.
At the request of a customer, corrosion tests are made in an accredited laboratory.
Passivating and/or sealing the parts intended for barrel or rack plating lines.
Lubricates are used in particular for metal parts (as well as for plastic parts and elastomers) to reduce the friction coefficient and to protect the parts from wear and tear. In addition, the lubricants are not susceptible to dripping, which avoids any contamination of the immediate environment. Parts may further be protected with a sealant (especially Gleitmo and Finigard) to increase the corrosion resistance.
Anodising is provided in natural or black colour.
Quality
To be able to deliver the service in the required quality, we are continuously improving, developing our procedures and implementing advanced technologies to provide services in the quality our customers expect.
There are two X-ray devices available to measure the ST thickness and analyse the plating bath. The measured values may be stated in inspection certificates issued for any plated parts. For new projects, PPAP documentation may be provided.
Layer thickness is measured with X-ray fluorescence using Röntgenanalytik Messtechnik X-Ray ECO Compaq device. The quality management system is certified according to ISO standard.
Ecology
The company utilizes new advanced technological facilities that meet all the requirements on environmental protection and hygiene at work.
1995
In 1995 a new wastewater neutralization plant was commissioned and a PC system implemented to control the reactor for wastewater treatment.
2011
On February 28, 2011 reconstruction of the wastewater neutralization plant was completed.
2017
At the beginning of September 2017, an extension to the waste treatment plant was built.
