Integrated Surface Treatment Technologies: Electrostatic Powder Coating & Anodizing Management

The corrosion resistance and aesthetic value of an aluminium profile are defined strictly by the quality of its surface finish. At Mertcan Metal, we transform mechanically processed profiles and CNC-machined components into architectural-grade products, executing final finishes that fully comply with international Qualicoat standards.

Our facility distinguishes itself through operational versatility, featuring two specialized electrostatic powder coating lines (Conveyor and Batch Systems) designed to meet diverse production demands:

High-Volume Conveyor Line (Continuous Processing)

Engineered for series production, our conveyor line ensures speed and uniformity for high-footage standard profiles. This system allows us to deliver consistent film thickness (60-80 microns) and rapid turnaround times for large-scale industrial and architectural projects.

Specialized Cabin System (Batch Processing)

For projects requiring precision and flexibility, our dedicated Batch Cabin System offers a boutique approach. This facility is optimized for:

CNC-machined parts ready for assembly.
Small-scale components requiring intricate handling (minimizing Faraday cage effects).
Custom color requests and special architectural finishes beyond standard RAL charts.

This dual infrastructure enables Mertcan Metal to minimize lead times (termin) by routing projects to the most efficient line—whether for mass production or bespoke fabrication.

Anodizing (Anodisation) Excellence

In our Anodizing processes, we collaborate with accredited solution partners to deliver superior surface hardness and metallic aesthetics. We manage a full spectrum of finishes including Matte, Bright, Satin, and Electrolytic Colored applications. By strictly controlling the requested micron thicknesses under Mertcan Metal’s quality assurance protocols, we ensure every profile meets the rigorous durability requirements of global markets.

Electrostatic Powder Coating Facility Infrastructure

Facility Type	System Feature	Application Area and Advantages
