Coating of Machines for Ice and Snow Removal at Bucher Municipal: Corrosion Resistance is the Key!

A mixed coating system with a zinc rich liquid base coat and a powder top coat, a mechanical pre-treatment process for controlled surface roughness, and a flexible plant designed by Eurotherm (Volpiano, Turin, Italy) in cooperation with Giletta’s technicians and the company’s advisor Fabio Balbo, owner of Tecniver: these are the technical choices made by Giletta Spa, a company of the Bucher Municipal Group, to meet two fundamental requirements for the production of its snow and ice removal machines: the qualitative one of corrosion resistance exceeding 2000 hours in salt spray tests and the operational one of a maximum of three weeks from order receipt to delivery of the finished machine.
