Case Study: Seamless Coating Solutions for Ultrasonic Systems — Crest Ultrasonics’ Ongoing Partnership with Precision Dip Coating
Client: Nic, Crest Ultrasonics
Industry: Ultrasonic Cleaning Equipment
Partnership Length: 5+ Years
The Challenge: Protecting Components in Harsh Ultrasonic Environments
Crest Ultrasonics, a leader in ultrasonic cleaning technology, designs systems that are intentionally built to degrade contaminants—but that harsh environment can also take a toll on the cleaning system’s components, especially the baskets used to hold items during the ultrasonic cleaning process.
According to Nic, Engineering Manager at Crest Ultrasonics, “Our systems are designed to degrade things and with all of the ultrasonic beating on the baskets, we rarely hear of any issues. The process has been excellent.”
When you're dealing with this kind of aggressive operational environment, quality and durability are non-negotiable.
The Solution: Halar Coating for Long-Term Durability
For more than five years, Crest Ultrasonics has partnered with Precision Dip Coating to provide them with Halar® coating solutions that extend the life of their baskets and components.
Nic credits Precision Dip Coating with making the entire process seamless, from quoting to logistics. “When we finish fabricating the baskets, we send them right out; it’s a seamless venture. Pricing has been good, and it ties into our systems easily,” he says.
Going Beyond the Coating: A Consultative Partner
One of the standout moments in Crest Ultrasonics’ relationship with Precision Dip Coating came when Bob (a key member of the PDC team) provided valuable manufacturing feedback that improved the long-term performance of the coated parts.
“We had a bit of back and forth to make things easier for coating and for long-term benefit where the coating would actually stay on longer. Providing that consultative aspect to manufacture it in a better way is really valued,” Nic explains.
This consultative approach ensures not just a better coating job—but a better part altogether.
