The best of both worlds - KTL cathodic dip-paint coating combined with powder coating
High-quality, multi-layer paint finish
The paintwork on a fertiliser spreader is exposed to extreme demands. The paintwork is designed to protect the spreader from corrosion, especially when handling fertiliser and where moisture is involved. AMAZONE uses a new paint process for the ZA-V fertiliser spreaders. This involves, on the one hand, a cathodic dip painting process (known as KTL) for the primer to give the best possible protection on the internal surfaces of tubes and box sections and, on the other hand, a powder coating process to create a high-quality visual finish with extra-thick paint providing increased protection against physical wear and tear.
7 year manufacturer’s guarantee
Based on this optimum painting process, AMAZONE is able to offer its customers a manufacturer guarantee of seven years against rusting through. From 01/01/2023, customers can apply to have the guarantee activated for ZA-V, ZA-TS, and ZG-TS models, starting from the 2022 model year. This registration is done very simply via the manufacturer’s portal, myAmazone, bearing in mind the terms and conditions (www.amazone.net/7-years) stated there. After registration, one can continue to work without any worries.
The benefits
Cathodic dip painting process
- Suppression of rust infiltration
- Best possible protection, even on the inner surfaces of tubes and box sections
Powder coated top coat
- Double protection through additionally applied powder coating
- Improved resistance against everyday wear and tear
Quality and reliability
- All the components on the spreading system and all hydraulic fittings are made from stainless steel
- Impact, UV and chemical resistant plastic sieves
High-quality, multi-layer paint finish – the most modern from all angles
- 14-step paint preparation (e.g. degreasing)
- Zinc phosphating provides the most effective counteraction of rust formation
- Thick cathodic dip priming for full corrosion protection, even in cavities and those hard-to-reach areas
- Powder coating for a high-quality appearance and extra thick paint for increased protection against mechanical demands
- The combination of tried and tested painting techniques brings together the best from all areas, resulting in a high-quality multi-layer paint finish
The KTL dip-paint priming of all components enables an almost comprehensive corrosion protection.
Double protection through the additional thick powder coating, providing increased protection against mechanical wear and tear.
The new paint system, in combination with the use of largely stainless steel components provides high levels of availability and durability, rounded off by the use of impact-resistant and UV-resistant plastic sieves.
