Pre-treatment & powder-coating line

Since the beginning of 2017 Culobel Group has also had its own pre-treatment & powder-coating line. Our powder-coating line consists of a spray tunnel for degreasing and phosphatising, followed by a conveyor-belt drying kiln. In addition we also have a manual powder-coating booth for larger pressure vessels and/or prototypes.

CE-certified

All pressure vessels are CE tested and meet the most stringent regulations laid down by the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED 2014/68/EU). Culobel has all the necessary engineering expertise to develop new pressure vessels in accordance with EU legislation (PED) and using the best welding technology.
