I would refer them to anyone who needs powder coating or shot blasting done. We send many parts of all shape and sizes to them and get great results. Their quality, lead time, customer service and pricing is great. From when they receive our parts to when they send them back the service is great.
Powder Coating
KVF Quad Corporation is the Quad Cities expert on powder coat painting.
KVF Quad Corporation has tailored its powder coating paint application facilities to adapt to a wide range of size, shape, quantity and special components. KVF Quad has the ability to coat parts weighing up to 2000 lbs and sizes ranging from the size of a pen tip to 20 ft x 5 ft x 6 ft.
Abrasive Blast Finishing
Abrasive blasting, or air blasting, is a method of propelling media, using compressed air, to clean and remove scale, rust, markings, previous coatings or weld splatter from component surfaces.
Shot Blasting
Shot blasting utilizes wheel blast machines, often known in the industry as tumble, table or belt blast equipment. This aggressive process can generate anchor surface, remove tight mill scale, previous coatings, foundry slag, and leave components with a uniform exterior surface finish.
Vibratory Finishing
With a variety of equipment types and sizes, and hundreds of media types, KVF Quad has what it takes to yield results in the mass finishing field. Totaling 226 cubic feet of processing equipment’s, KVF Quad operates round bowls, and rectangular tub finishing machines that can deburr, radius, descale, burnish, clean and brighten almost any type of metal component.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
The term “ultrasonic” refers to high frequency electrical sound. In parts cleaning application, ultrasonic high frequency vibrations generate sound waves in a cleaning solution in the same manner a vibrating drumhead generates sound waves in the air.
Parts Cleaning
Parts cleaning is essential to many industrial processes as a prelude to surface finishing or to protect sensitive components. KVF Quad adheres to strict guidelines, eg. choosing correct processes, type of substrate and nature of contamination and when dealing with customer specific cleanliness measurements or specifications. Also available is the option to add rust preventatives after each cleaning operation.
