From October 8th to 10th, ALIT Technologies Spa participated in ALUMINIUM 2024 in Düsseldorf, bringing energy, innovation, and color to the industry’s most important event. Our booth, set up with passion and originality, captured the attention of visitors from around the world, offering an experience that goes beyond simple business: a meeting between people, a moment of sharing and connection.

As our CEO, Loris Rossi, stated, “Fairs like this are a valuable opportunity to build and strengthen relationships with customers, partners, suppliers, and distributors. ALUMINIUM 2024 confirmed to us that the future is increasingly bright and interesting, and we are ready to face it with enthusiasm.” ALIT is not just a solution provider; it is a partner that focuses on human relationships and shared growth.

Our Stand! Colorful, fun and innovative

Our stand brought a breath of joy with its lively and welcoming style. We presented our Drizzling in collaboration with Alufinish, our ISP for hook stripping, and our innovative Claris for die cleaning, all of which were a great success. Additionally, the bar service corner was a hit, offering visitors the unique flavors of sopressa veneta, grana padano, Venetian spritz, and excellent durello wine. An authentic Italian experience that helped create a friendly and convivial atmosphere, where every guest was welcomed with a smile.

Bringing 15 ALIT employees was a strategic and meaningful choice: we wanted to serve our guests directly without relying on external staff. This is our way of demonstrating the value we place on the people who choose us, offering a personal and authentic service. ALIT is a family that welcomes, solves problems, and puts people at the center.

One of the most iconic moments of the event was our photo and video corner, where an orange Vespa painted in ALIT colors stole the show. The top CEOs of the aluminum sector joined in the fun, taking amusing photos as they “drove” the Vespa. This is the spirit of ALIT: combining business with a lighthearted touch, showing the human and genuine side of our work. We are convinced that our people-to-people approach truly makes a difference.

Final Thoughts

Despite our specific niche, we managed to secure new contacts from outside Europe, a sign that the world of chemical paint stripping is increasingly in demand and no longer reserved for just the major players. The numerous feedback we gathered during the fair provided us with valuable insights to continue innovating and improving our solutions, and we already have new ideas in mind for the future.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who stopped by, even just for a quick hello. It was an immense pleasure to share this moment with you, and we can’t wait to meet again at ALUMINIUM 2026!

The installation of the Drizzling system by ALIT Technologies at DHK represents a significant advancement in the protection of aluminum surfaces. On this occasion, ALIT installed its innovative Drizzling system, while Alufinish, its partner for chemical supply, provided the ALFICOAT 748 product used for the conversion coating. This case study demonstrates how DHK, a leader in aluminum coverings, improved its processes thanks to ALIT’s advanced technology and Alufinish’s chemical products.

Our Customer and his request

DHK is a Belgian company specialized in the production and sale of aluminum products, including terrace coverings, customized pergolas, canopies, windowsills, and thresholds. The company offers a wide range of products, including aluminum profiles, sandwich panels, and architectural construction accessories.

The strength of DHK lies in the use of aluminum, a lightweight, recyclable, and corrosion-resistant material, making it ideal for external architectural applications. However, to ensure the long-lasting durability of its products, accurate surface pretreatment is essential before powder coating.

At its Chatelineau facility, DHK operates a new and modern painting line where metal surfaces undergo pretreatment and powder coating. Therefore, DHK needed a solution that would ensure an effective conversion coating, enhancing paint adhesion and corrosion resistance.

The Solution: ALIT’s Drizzling System

To meet this need, DHK chose ALIT Technologies to install the Drizzling system at its Chatelineau plant. This innovative technology allows for the precise and efficient application of the ALFICOAT 748 chemical product, supplied by Alufinish, improving the quality of the aluminum’s conversion coating.

Specifically, the Drizzling system installed by ALIT at DHK marks a major technological advancement over traditional methods. With the ability to atomize a real-time mixture of ALFICOAT 748 and demineralized water, the Drizzling system ensures that the chemical solution is always fresh and ready for use, eliminating the need for coating tanks or energy-intensive spray pumps.

How Drizzling Works

The Drizzling system atomizes a freshly prepared ALFICOAT 748 solution directly onto the aluminum surface, creating a fine mist that adheres perfectly to the metal surface. This process delivers a uniform, high-quality conversion coating, avoiding the contamination and wear issues associated with traditional immersion or spray systems.

The benefits of this technology are numerous:

– Energy Efficiency: No need for pumps or coating tanks.

– Consistent Quality: The chemical solution is prepared instantly, ensuring freshness and reactivity.

– Simplified Management: There is no longer a need to monitor or analyze tank liquids, reducing maintenance and operational times.

Additionally, the installation was completed within a few hours, with two atomizer ramps mounted inside the pretreatment tunnel and a mixing and control panel installed externally. The system, delivered in a plug-and-play configuration, was ready for use immediately after installation.

Performance and Results

Thanks to the Drizzling system, DHK has significantly improved the quality of its aluminum conversion coating, with a consumption of approximately 0.5 kg/hour of ALFICOAT 748 and a solution flow of about 160 liters/hour. Regular verification of the titanium deposits confirmed that the results perfectly align with the parameters set by the chemical supplier Alufinish, ensuring superior corrosion resistance.

In conclusion, the successful installation of the Drizzling system at DHK showcases how the integration of ALIT’s advanced technology and Alufinish’s chemical products can deliver excellent results in the pretreatment of aluminum surfaces, offering an efficient and innovative solution for conversion coating.

We are pleased to announce that ALIT Technologies will participate in the 2024 edition of ALUMINIUM, the renowned international trade fair taking place in Düsseldorf, Germany, from October 8 to 10, 2024. During the event, we will showcase our latest technological innovations, designed to enhance the sustainability and efficiency of industrial processes.

At our booth 3H42, you will have the opportunity to discover a range of cutting-edge technologies, including:

– Drizzling: Our complete dosing and nebulization system for the passivation of aluminium and metal profiles. This compact, low-energy solution eliminates the need for a traditional passivation tank while ensuring high-quality results.

– ISP (In-line System for Chemical Stripping): An innovative in-line system for the chemical stripping of hooks and frames used in electrostatic painting processes. ISP reduces processing times to just 3 minutes, significantly boosting operational efficiency.

– CLARIS: Our additive for cleaning extrusion dies, which enhances bath longevity and cleaning performance, while reducing sludge formation and fume emissions. CLARIS also enables up to 20% energy savings.

We have designed our booth to provide an immersive and engaging experience. In addition to exploring our technological solutions up close, you can enjoy some typical delicacies from our home region of Veneto, such as sopressa veneta and Durello wine. You will also have the chance to discover the history of ALIT Academy Magazine, our house organ, and take memorable photos in our photobooth area featuring a branded Vespa 50 Special. And that’s not all – a special surprise awaits all visitors as a token of our appreciation.

We invite you to visit us at booth 3H42 during ALUMINIUM 2024. This will be the perfect opportunity to explore the latest innovations in aluminium surface treatment, exchange ideas, and participate in the immersive activities we have planned for you.
