Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for corrosion-protective coating of metallic components in series comprising a plurality of wet chemical treatment stages including a cathodic electrodeposition coating, which completes the coating process, in which each component received by a conveyor frame and the T ransportcruition consisting of component and conveyor frame then passed through all treatment stages is before the finished coated component separated from the conveyor frame and an uncoated component from the same conveyor frame is added to the coating, wherein in the process by incorporating an additional treatment stage before degreasing / cleaning and the subsequent passivation and electrocoating prevented the construction of massive paint deposits on the conveyor racks becomes.
- the coating process of pretreatment to electrocoating in a single system can be operated economically, since the discharge of individual conveyor elements to remove paint deposits after incorporation of the pre-cleaning away.
