PVD and PECVD coating machines
Golden Arrow machines are designed to be able to install different technologies (Cathodic Arc, Magnetron Sputtering, Plasma Beam Source etc.) to ensure high productivity, high repeatability of the coating and its performance, low costs and innovative solutions based on customer needs.

Our PVD-PECVD Equipments
Batch
Batch systems are designed for various sectors and applications and are available in 7 models.
Depending on the size, production capacity and type of coating, we offer various possibilities to meet customer needs.
Flexline
Flexline machines are designed for those with special needs for high productivity.
They are intended for decorative and special applications and can have various chamber sizes. As the name suggests, these machines have a flexible configuration, depending on the coating characteristics and the final product.
Customised
There are no design limits for Protec Surface Technologies.
Batch or Flexline machines can be customised to meet customer needs.
We guarantee the same quality and innovation for all customised machine models by finding alternative solutions according to process and productivity requirements.
Surface activation systems
PVD & PECVD coatings are also characterised by the previous process steps. In fact, pre-treatment is fundamental to optimise adhesion and it is very important for the coating characteristics.
For this reason, Protec can supply all the technologies required for pre-treatment, in particular surface activation equipment.
PVD Coating Solution
We offer customers with tailored PVD coating solution where hardness, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and tri biological properties can be modified to resist different surface failures.
Our state-of-the-art coating center is equipped with the latest PVD coating process technology.

Why PVD Coating?
PVD coating is a vacuum coating technique, in which a film is created to maintain a harder surface on the target material. This film extends the life of the tool, lowers tool maintenance and improves overall part quality. The environment that may otherwise be able to perform in.
An irreplaceable quality of PVD coatings is that it uses lower temperatures for the application process avoiding the disadvantages of procedures such as CVD coating, in which the tool has to go through the process of becoming soft post-coating, and then re-hardened again – putting it at risk of becoming distorted.
