About b+m surface systems
b+m surface systems GmbH, based in Eiterfeld, is a full-service provider of painting systems and paint application technology. The company plans, designs, manufactures and modernizes systems for spray painting of plastic and metal parts as well as for cathodic dip painting (KTL). The range of services includes pretreatment and cleaning (Powerwash, flame treatment, CO2 cleaning, plasma, fluorine treatment, zinc phosphating, nano coating), paint booths, paint drying ovens, conveyor technology, application technology with atomizers and dosing technology, as well as its own painting robots of the T1 X6 and T2 X6 series. The portfolio is complemented by automation technology, energy and environmental technology (exhaust air purification with TNV/RTO, zeolite concentration, wastewater treatment) as well as plant safety and explosion protection. Customers come primarily from the automotive industry and the coating industry. The company offers worldwide original factory customer service for systems from b+m, LUTRO, VARIO and Widmer+Ernst.

Processes & Technology
Powerwash pretreatment
Alkaline cleaning of plastic parts with spray nozzles, rinse zones and water dryers.
CO2 cleaning
Cleaning process for preparing plastic surfaces before paint application.
Plasma and fluorine treatment
Activation processes for plastic surfaces to improve paint adhesion.
Cathodic dip painting (KTL)
Corrosion protection coating for dip-capable metal parts, also as a conversion of EDT (anodic dip painting) systems.
Electrostatic application
High-rotation atomizers and ESTA guns for precise paint application, including suitability for Ex zones.
Exhaust air purification
Thermal post-combustion and regenerative thermal oxidation for autothermal VOC purification.
