Wesero Hightec GmbH, Sprockhövel, has been setting standards in its industry for more than 50 years. With its employees, the company is one of the top addresses in Europe and the world when it comes to the design and manufacture of surface processing machines and systems for the metal, electronics and textile industries. Whether, for example, Aluminium sheets in wings of aircraft, roofing and rain gutters made of copper sheet, fabric covers for car roofing, leather in the shoe industry or linoleum for carpet production: Before finishing, the surfaces of the materials were often cleaned, stained, brushed or egalituced by a Wesero Hightec GmbH system. The export share of the Sprockhövel machine builder is approx. 70 percent. Business relations extend beyond Europe to the USA and Southeast Asia. In process engineering, Wesero Hightec GmbH attaches great importance to environmental protection. For example, the company has developed a completely new chemical-free process based on high pressure and water for degreasing degreasing deflating oils on film and thick strip materials. The water is returned to the cleaning process in an environmentally friendly manner via appropriate filter and treatment technology. Nevertheless, Wesero’s excellent technical know-how is not limited to cleaning and brushing surfaces. This is what cooperation with the aircraft industry stands for. For example, a deburring machine for aluminium sheets is currently being built in Sprockhövel in order to deburr and separate machine parts milled in the package from the plates.  “This order from Shorts Brothers – Bombardier was already a big challenge for us, especially as the demands in the aircraft industry are particularly high. The difficulty here is to separate the differently thick sheets (0.38 to 3.18 mm), to bring them into the deburring machine according to fit and to stack them later again in a congruent manner without attacking the sheet metal surface.”
