VACUUM METALIZING AT TREEMEN INDUSTRIES

Utilizing 72” Stokes-type Vacuum Metalizing chambers, Treemen Industries has the capabilities to apply, various metalized finishes, and a protective topcoat on various substrates such as metals, aluminum die-cast and plastics, all within one cycle.

The vacuum metalizing process utilizes physical vapor deposition (PVD) to deposit a thin reflective film onto a substrate. Using a series of vacuum pumps, the chamber is put under vacuum where small aluminum canes are heated, melted, and vaporized.  During this process, parts are rotating consistently in the chamber to provide a uniform coverage of aluminum.  An in-chamber protective topcoat is then applied to protect the aluminum coating from oxidation and corrosion.

• Utilizing such large vacuum chambers, Treemen has the capability to process and handle a wide variety of part sizes and program volumes.
• High-quality open-style or mask-type tooling is developed and used to meet customer requirements.
• Treemen has the experience and culture for producing and sustaining high-quality parts.
