Profile: Bulk Coating, LLC. is dedicated to the application of electrocoat paint on small metallic parts. As part of Mid-Western Processes, we have developed a specialized piece of equipment called the Bulkoter® to apply these coatings without the use of racks, fixtures, barrels, baskets or trays. The equipment will apply any type of electrocoat finish that can be applied in a rack or fixture environment. The parts can be any metal that is presently electrocoated and even metallized plastics. Ideal products to be coated include small brackets, castings, hardware, and fasteners. This process eliminates the VOC problems associated with solvent based paint and the heavy metal effluent problems of electroplating. In case of high strength fasteners, the worry of hydrogen embrittlement is also eliminated. Our system can operate independently under its own control or it can be linked to a larger rack or conveyor line to utilize common support equipment.
