Thermal Spray Systems

Our systems engineering team develops and manufactures complete thermal spray systems, covering the most common coating processes, including APS, VPS, HVOF, and others.

OVERVIEW

Our key products

Industries and applications

All types of VPS coating systems: LPPS, H-VPS, LP-VPS, PS-PVD

Vacuum Plasma Spraying (VPS)

Customized APS coating systems for any application, e.g. medical implants, components for the aero and gas turbine industries as well as many others.

Atmospheric Plasma Spraying (APS)

HVOF coating systems, e.g. for landing gear components (hard chrome replacement coatings).

High Velocity Oxy Fuel spraying (HVOF)

MCAPS modular and compact plasma coating system for coating small components in large quantities.

Modular, Compact APS System (MCAPS)

Our expertise in systems engineering

Systems engineering

Medicoat has been ISO 9001 certified since 1998. Our systems cover the main variants of thermal spray technology, including vacuum plasma spraying (VPS), atmospheric plasma spraying (APS), high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF), high-velocity air-fuel (HVAF), as well as wire and powder flame spraying.

Electrical engineering & mechanical engineering

We have a high level of vertical integration, manufacturing all the individual components for our coating systemsin-house. In addition to our electrical workshop, we operate a fully equipped mechanical production facility.

Service & Support

Our service teams in Switzerland and China support international customers with all aspects of thermal spray technology and trouble shooting.

Maintenance

To ensure trouble-free operation with high quality and reproducibility, we recommend that customers establish a maintenance contract with regular checks of all system functions.

Calibration

During each system maintenance, we calibrate and adjust all sensors and actuators of the coating systems using our certified test equipment. All inspections are documented and certified.

Retrofit

We modernize older systems to extend their service life. These upgrades can improve production volume and product quality while ensuring long-term compliance with current legal requirements, reliable access to spare parts, and integration into a modern IT environment.
