Kolzer introduces new functional coatings achievable with the newest sputtering Kolzer machines. The plants, which are currently provided with an already rich databases of available coatings, can now be equipped on request with the following processes: PVD anti-reflex, PVD transparent hydrophobic and nonsticking, PVD solar thermal absorber_low emission, PVD transparent conductive ITO, PVD transparent scratchproof , PVD UV filter, PVD IR filter
In the laboratory KR&D, Kolzer’s service for the innovation and standardization, which allows to experiment on products of interested companies, new nanotechnology coatings PVD, Plasma and Sputtering (a project already joined by companies like Ferrari Car, Brembo, Illy, BTicino, De Longhi, Philips, Valeo, Banca d’Italia, Bang&Olufsen, Lavazza, Fiat, Gewiss, YKK, Vimar), today has been installed the new DGK36” HTC I-Chrome, the favourite of the DGK series.
Commissioned by the EU, the Kolzer staff developed a new co-evaporation system for latent fingerprints on a DGK24” for the Turkish criminal police, in order to note latent fingerprints on evidence found on crime scenes. Delivered and already up and running in order to Strengthen the Police Forensic Capacity.
Also for sputtering coatings is beginning the season of winter sports. Fortex srl, a young reality in Montebelluna (TV) North Italy, protagonist of the Festival of Science, Nanotechnologies field, owns 2 DGK36” sputtering plants, providing PVD treatments to a wide range of customers.
Innovation to compete! It has been proved that companies which invest in innovative technologies are constantly growing. The result comes from an European study that has monitored companies of the old continent for the last 10 years: those which have invested in new technologies, have increased their turnover (an average of 10/15% per year).
Snow White’s apple turns silver and edible: this is the last project of Kolzer and Ornella Piluso – artist and designer, Dr. Angela Bassoli of the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Milan and silversmith company Silvan Srl.
The design of the new futuristic V7 racer features the chromed tank with sputtering technology. The final aesthetic result of great value, confirms that the sputtering clean application of chrome meets aesthetic and extreme requirements as that of the motorcycle industry.
A new dress for materials
Sputtering applied to various materials ennobles Silvan’s creations, a silverware company from Veneto – Italy, founded in 1962 ( www.silvan.it ). Few months after installing a new conception sputtering plant in order to deposit precious metals, the company is witnessing a revolution in a field as closely linked to tradition as silverware is.
The biggest technological research centre in Scandinavia with their 900 engineers and scientists, the DTI Danish Teknological Institute located in Taastrup, Copenaghen-Denmark, started up a new Kolzer plant for PECVD process. The system will be involved in R&D and small scale production of components with the new flexible transparent barrier coating, silicon based, with a DGK24” equipped for PECVD process.
Altay Scientific is a leading company in the global market for science education. Kolzer provided them with a DGK36” sputtering plant equipped with plasma cleaning, in order to replace the galvanic process used to produce their plastic and metal component, to be installed in their factory based in China. The DGK36” is the most sold Kolzer machine, with its coating chamber diameter of 1000mm.
After winning a notice of competition in the 70’s, Kolzer won again this year and manufactured a DGK24” plant for vacuum cadmium plating of helicopter components for AGUSTA WESTLAND – well-known worldwide manufacturer of helicopters.
