    ACE SECTOR

    1. Home
    2. ACE

    Coating of agricultural and earth moving machines 

    Franchi&Kim stands as a leader in the production of liquid coating products for the ACE sector (Agricultural, Construction & Earth Moving Equipment) or the world of agricultural machinery, earthmoving machinery and handling with reference to all typical equipment of these 3 areas: tractors, harvesting machines, soil tillage machines, forestry machines, excavators, loaders, dumpers, dozers, scrapers, aerial platforms, reach stakers, lifters and cranes.

    ACE like Ace. And our trump card in this area is certainly represented by the more "referenced" water-based painting systems: wb zinc phosphate epoxy primer Series 1056 and water-soluble glossy polyacrylic finish Series 1399. This system minimizes VOC and environmental impact problems and guarantees resistance to corrosion and bad weather on the levels of the best solvent systems.

    YOUR STRATEGIC PARTNER

    TAILOR MADE

    Customization of color, product and painting system depending on the support, the technical conditions, the automatic and non-automatic application systems and the required performances

    COLORIMETRY

    A colorimetric approach able to reproduce the color of the largest machinery manufacturers with reference to the original OEMs

    IDENTITY

    Quality of the products aimed at making the aesthetic aspect coincide with the performance one and with the aim of providing identity to the product, unique on the market and different from the competition

    THE SECTOR

    The agricultural machinery sector has always represented an important market for quality and innovation in paints. The activity carried out by the machinery and the continuous exposure to the sun and bad weather subject the products to strong stresses. Very often the tools are subjected to strong abrasions, impacts or even worse chemical agents contained in fertilizers or insecticides. Last but not least, in recent years the sector requires highly aesthetic finishes with systems also in double coat, such as car bodywork. This mix of needs leads to the use of the best quality paints in terms of anti-corrosive, mechanical, chemical and aesthetic resistance.

    Normally, the system have 3 coats, with the first coat mainly devoted to creating adhesion and anti-corrosive resistances, the intermediate to act as a barrier and leveling agent (usually lightly sandpapering) and the elastic and weather-resistant finish and also to chemical agents.

    Over the years we have gone from the common 1K systems with alkyd primers and fast drying or nitro finishes, perhaps adding 10% of polyurethane hardener to provide fastness and surface hardness, to the current epoxy or inorganic galvanizers or even cataphoresis, with high thickness intermediates and 2K acrylic finishes of high quality and gloss.

    THE SECTOR

    The Construction sector includes lifting machines and cranes necessary for the construction sector in general, where the primary needs are resistance to bad weather and solar UV rays. We are in the presence of large structures that require systems with a very long life duration and very long maintenance intervals, given the logistical difficulties. 

    In this market, anti-corrosive qualities are the first point in the choice of paint; it must guarantee rust resistance and weather barrier. The distension of the paint and the retention of the gloss are less important than in other sectors, while the application on vertical surfaces and the high thickness guarantee shorter painting times and excellent durations.

    For years the sector has been dominated by 1K finishes, especially by immersion; practical and rapid systems, but poorly performing. Currently the most used systems include galvanizing, epoxy intermediates and 2K acrylic-polyurethane finishes, but systems with surface tolerant and acrylic finishes are also excellent solutions. The systems required normally provide for C4 or C5M and I anti-corrosive classifications.

    FIELDS OF APPLICATION

    Earth-moving machines represent a very vast sector of different types from excavators, handling trucks, stone-breaking machines to conveyor belts. The common denominator is the need to resist to bad weather, solar UV rays and impacts and strong abrasions typical of contact with earth and rocks. 

    The sector requires high anticorrosive and mechanical resistance, but also high elasticity due to frequent impacts with stone materials.

    Earth-moving machines are born with 1K alkyd or nitro systems, and then quickly switch to epoxy primers and polyurethane finishes. In this field, a first coat of zinc is normally applied, with an epoxy intermediate and 2K acrylic finish, or on the most exposed parts the systems are all based on epoxy resins to maximize mechanical strength.
