September 2013 / published in GTS-Strahl 30 Newcomer@GTS: Exchange of experiences at Sulzer Metco,
|
Record turnout at the Newcomer@GTS meeting in Winterthur 2013. |
Richard Schmid gave an overview of Sulzer Metco in the first presentation. In addition to Sulzer Metco itself, there are three further divisions (Sulzer Pumps, Sulzer Chemtech and Sulzer Turbo Services) which belong to the Sulzer enterprise. Sulzer Metco’s product range for the thermal spray industry alone is extremely impressive. Richard’s Schmid’s overview was followed by presentations on the different test methods available (coating tests, investigations into fretting, corrosion and other damage) which were later demonstrated in the tour of the labs. Because of the large turnout, the participants split into four groups and the allotted time of two hours was just right.
After lunch, there were four further presentations on new developments at Sulzer Metco. Mr von Niessen introduced new plant equipment such as burners. Mr Tewes told us about new cold spray developments and Mr Gindrat gave us an overview of LPPS technologies (Low Pressure Plasma Spraying). The very interesting day was rounded off by Mr Girgulis who presented the SM Customer Solution Center. The four centres in Westbury, Shanghai, Tokyo und Wohlen carry out application development for customers. There was then time for a final round of discussions and afterwards Jörn Putzier and Jeroen Jutte thanked the entire Sulzer team on behalf of
the GTS Newcomers for the excellent organization and very informative event. We can’t wait for the next meeting.
