Design is critical in building a product like a compressor Coltri, but there is no idea that it can work without using the best materials. So our drive for continuous innovation has led us to adopt Nikasil for our aluminum cylinders.
What is Nikasil?
Nikasil is a nickel-silicon alloy with which our cylinders are coated to achieve less friction during component movements, greater wear resistance, and higher rotational speeds for consistently top performance.
This precision treatment must obviously be carried out by level-headed professionals, so Coltri relies on a company that is a benchmark for this type of treatment. We choose Gilardoni’s experience.
Gilardoni has always been a reference point for everything related to cylinders. The company manufactures and processes a wide range intended for disparate uses, with a focus on more professional needs such as aeronautical and competitive use. Gilardoni has come up with a new way to apply Nikasil, GILNISIL®. The GILNISIL® coating is represented by a nickel base with very fine solid particles of silicon carbide distributed in varying percentages according to machining operations.
Teaming up with another company that represents the best of Made in Italy allows us to create increasingly high-performance and durable components according to a structured process tailored to our needs, changing the application methods and formulations for each type of machine we produce.
