Perfect surface treatment – developed at the WMV Technicum
Testing and prototyping under real conditions – with maximum error control and reduced development times to market readiness.
Surface treatment at its best is a clear competitive advantage. The cleaning and coating systems at the WMV Technical Center apply all stages of pretreatment for bulk goods and rack goods. Innovative products and processes are tested in advance using the latest system technology and integrated interfaces: in accordance with customer requirements. Under real conditions. And with the expertise of WMV.
Efficiency in surface treatment: all phases in the WMV Technicum
Surface treatment depends on the best combination of materials, chemicals, and gentle process technology. And that applies to every stage of the process. That is why the cleaning and coating systems at the WMV Technicum cover all phases of surface treatment. On a 1:1 scale and with the latest, highly efficient process technology. Automated processes reduce errors and rework. This allows us to test your ideas quickly and under real conditions. The test results are documented and analyzed synchronously with the test runs. At the WMV Technicum, we work with you to develop more efficient products and processes—without wasting time, without downtime for your own systems, and with the utmost discretion.

At the outset, we work with you to clarify all relevant requirements and conditions, such as deadlines, budget, and logistics.
DEVELOPMENT
During the development phase, we invite you to visit the B7 Campus, located very close to our WMW Technicum. Here, we will work together to take your idea a decisive step further: the inspiring atmosphere of the Future & Knowledge Campus provides the ideal setting for you to future-proof your surface treatment processes and launch improved products.
IMPLEMENTATION
You provide us with the relevant components and the necessary chemicals for conducting the tests. You and your team can accompany the tests at the WMV -Technicum on site or virtually.
DOCUMENTATION
We will provide you with the results immediately, including the test documentation. Any modifications can be implemented right away.
TRAINING
Upon request, we can train your teams directly at the cleaning and coating facility in our WMV Technicum.
Innovative processes and equipment: developed at the WMV Technicum
Numerous developments from the WMV Technicum are already leading to more efficient and resource-saving production—and to new standards in the surface treatment of bulk goods and rack goods: Real-world testing of cleaning and coating media has enabled the processes to be tailored to specific component properties in a wide range of customer applications – and has created a basis for more efficient and reproducible processes. Together with partners, several new stations for cleaning systems have been developed at the WMV Technicum. These include the integrated blasting system with interchangeable drum. A joint project with Sinto AGTOS. Or a resource-saving drying system with heat pump technology. Developed with the help of heat pump technology from dryer manufacturer Harter. Our innovative PULZ® coating system was also developed at the WMV Technicum and is in use worldwide.

Questions & Answers
Which products can be tested at the WMV Technicum?
Any type of bulk material and rack goods can be tested in the Technicum. The spectrum ranges from steel to stainless steel, brass, copper, and plastic. Our cleaning and coating systems for bulk materials are designed for all types of goods or components, as well as for testing complex geometries. Thanks to WMV centrifuge technology, both small quantities and larger batches of up to 300 kg can be simulated in real-world conditions.
Which surface treatment processes can be improved?
The WMV pilot plant applies the complete process of surface treatment for bulk materials – from loading the drums via a dynamic transport process to unloading the goods. This allows all processes – washing, drying, blasting, lasering, post-treatment, and coating – to be tested and improved on a product-specific basis, or individually.
