Ben Wye Engineering
Protecting Agricultural Machinery with Arkote's Tuffkote Powder Coating
Overview
At Arkote, we take pride in helping Australian manufacturers extend the life and performance of their equipment through advanced powder coating solutions. One of our standout partnerships is with Ben Wye Engineering, a trusted manufacturer of agricultural machinery located in the Adelaide Hills.
Their machines work in tough, year-round conditions — often exposed to the elements, chemicals, and physical wear. Owner Ian Makings needed a surface finishing solution that could match the rugged demands of his equipment while maintaining a clean, professional look.
The Solution
Arkote introduced Ian to our specialised Tuffkote Powder Coating System, a technologically advanced process that offers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and UV stability — ideal for agricultural environments.
Unlike traditional wet paints that can suffer from slow drying and contamination, our powder coating system ensures a flawless, resilient finish that stands up to real-world use. We also provided pick-up and delivery services, making the process smooth and efficient for Ian’s team.
Benefits of the Tuffkote Coating System:
-
Exceptional visual finish and colour stability;
-
High resistance to corrosion, chemical attack, and mechanical wear;
-
Ideal for outdoor and agricultural machinery;
-
UV-stable and environmentally friendly;
-
Long-term durability that saves time and maintenance costs.
