Development of surface treatment systems and engineering services with a focus on process reliability

As a competent partner, we design systems on the basis of customer-specific requirements or the results of process tests. For chemical and electrochemical processes in particular, but also for ultrasonic cleaning, the feasibility and efficiency of the processes have to be verified. KKS supports its customers in the implementation of such processes with a test environment for process trials to the fulfillment of requirements. With process engineering advice during process development, preliminary and feasibility studies, the implementation of prototype systems and complete documentation including equipment qualification, we offer our customers custom solutions with maximum cost-effectiveness and process reliability.
