Substrate Coating, Drying & Calcining System

Substrate coating, drying, and calcining system integrates four automation mechanisms – washcoat, coating, substrate handling cum thermal processing, and quality checks. The system has total online traceability via SCADA systems, inkjet printers, and barcode readers. Poka yoke eliminates errors. It churns out 80 catalytic converters per hour that are used in heavy duty trucks, passenger cars, and motorcycles.
