KVF Quad Corporation

KVF Quad Corporation is a top supplier in mechanical metal finishing and powder coat painting in the Midwest Region. Serving Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Wisconsin. KVF has the capability to process small parts to large assemblies, never turning away from any challenge.

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.

Shot Peening

Shot peening is a process used to produce a compressive residual stress layer of metal on parts such as gears, cams and camshafts, clutch springs, coil springs, connecting rods, crankshafts, gearwheels, and turbine blades. In addition to increasing the residual strength of a part, as a benefit, it can provide and enhance surface finish.

Thermal Paint Removal

Laser Oxide Removal

KVF Quad Corporation is a top supplier in mechanical metal finishing and powder coat painting in the Midwest Region. Serving Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Wisconsin. KVF has the capability to process small parts to large assemblies, never turning away from any challenge.
