New Balzers Coating Vessel
Reduces Turnaround Time

 

Balzers Inc. has installed a sixth coating vessel, an additional BAI 1200 model, at its coating center in Agawam, Massachusetts, USA. The new vessel represents an investment exceeding $1 million.

With the new vessel in place, the Agawam center is able to run significantly more batches and offer faster turnarounds, with a 25% improvement in capacity. The center currently operates with an average 2½-day turnaround; the new vessel will reduce lead time to less than two days for standard Balinit® coatings.

The new coating machine has the flexibility of applying both traditional and high-performance coatings including: Balinit A (TiN), Balinit B (TiCN), Balinit Futura Nano (TiAlN) and Balinit X.Treme (TiAlN). The BAI 1200 is the largest vessel Balzers uses for tool applications.
