ANODIKIT® ZONE: Qualanod-compliant anodizing through compact, resource-optimised design

ANODIKIT® ZONE is a compact anodizing plant developed for aluminium finishing companies seeking high-quality anodizing with reduced space, resource and operational requirements. The installation is based on a spray-applied pretreatment concept, in which all pretreatment stages are carried out within a single multiprocess tank. This configuration significantly reduces the number of tanks and bath volumes compared to conventional anodizing lines, while maintaining uniform and controlled surface preparation. Thanks to its compact design, ANODIKIT® ZONE requires approximately 250 m² of installation space and can be operated with 1–2 people per shift, making it suitable for facilities where space and manpower optimisation are key factors. The simplified layout also translates into lower maintenance needs and straightforward daily operation. Despite its compact size and optimised resource requirements, the process delivers high-quality anodizing and enables additional finishing possibilities such as colouring, depending on configuration and application requirements. The anodic layer quality obtained with ANODIKIT® ZONE meets the requirements of the Qualanod certification, and anodizing processes carried out on this type of installation are already being used by Qualanod-certified companies in their production. ANODIKIT® ZONE offers lower water and chemical consumption compared to traditional anodizing pretreatments. When combined with zero-liquid-discharge solutions such as EcodePure, the installation supports advanced sustainability strategies aligned with current environmental and regulatory requirements. In facilities where powder coating is already present, the compact nature of ANODIKIT® ZONE allows anodizing to be incorporated as a complementary process, enabling preox pretreatment without the infrastructure demands of a conventional anodizing plant.
