Setting course for the future, the Zürn Harvesting factory in Merchingen, southern Germany, has upgraded its manufacturing facilities.
At the heart of the investment is a brand new powder coating plant which meets the latest environmental standards. “This new plant puts us in the position to coat very large and up to 14m long parts, which is unique in our region. At the same time, it helps us assure the high quality standards we apply to our products,” confirms Managing Director Rolf Zürn.
The new painting facility gives all machine components a blasting and automated wet-chemical treatment before these are taken to the painting chamber where the powder coat is applied manually. As a last step, the parts are heated in the furnace at product specific and defined temperature curves.
“The new facility also scores in terms of energy efficiency as the warm exhaust air is recuperated by a heat exchanger and is used for heating in winter,” explains Martin Filz who manages the coating centre and who accompanied the project from start to finish.
At the Merchingen factory, the family business Zürn Harvesting manufactures headers for combines and forage harvesters as well as for mechanical weeders and at the Hohebuch factory we produce special field trial equipment. For an optimised utilisation of the new painting facility we also accept contract powder coating assignments.
Baden-Württemberg’s Minister of Agriculture Peter Hauk (CDU) recently visited Zürn Harvesting for an intensive exchange and a tour of the Merchingen site.
ZÜRN received the “DLG-Agrifuture Concept Winner” award at Agritechnica for its SEED SELECT concept unit, which improves field hygiene by cutting the weed cycle.
At the idyllic Halsberg country estate, an entire evening was dedicated to appreciation: together with around 40 jubilarians, we celebrated the many years of loyalty, commitment and outstanding work of our employees.
