KALAMAZOO, MI — U.S.-based STC Dip Spin and Forplan AG, Brugg, Switzerland, have partnered to expand capabilities to serve the zinc flake coating industry. The strategic alliance between the two companies will allow them to offer equipment and processes to existing and new customers for the application of various coatings — particularly zinc flake paint.
STC Dip Spin, a division of PRAB Inc., has been selling Dip Spin equipment for over 45 years, with an installed base of 490 machines and equipment still operating in the field and sold over 35 years ago — an indication of the robustness of the equipment. Capabilities include low-volume Dip and Spin units up to completely automated systems processing 22,500 pounds per hour.
