HF Detonation and HVOAF, two complementary technologies for a more efficient, safer and sustainable industry.
Our torches operate with natural gas, a cleaner and more readily available fuel compared to other solutions on the market. Combined with the use of oxygen and air (HVOAF) or controlled detonation pulses (HF Detonation), this results in a more sustainable, safer and more economical alternative.
Efficiency
Optimization of thermal management and reduction of gas consumption, with high deposition efficiencies
Robustness
Modular torches that can be easily configured to operate under a wide range of process conditions
Quality
Dense, ultra-hard coatings with high adhesion, offering wear resistance that surpasses that of standard commercial solutions
Flexibility
A wide range of processable materials, from traditional HVOF materials to ceramics
01
OPEX reduction > 20%
02
Higher hardness and wear resistance
03
Increase of process productivity and quality
We were founded as the result of more than 25 years of research and development at Tecnalia, a technology center belonging to the Basque Research and Technology Alliance.
