The Metallisation Met-PCC(HVOF) system is the latest development to Metallisation’s range of HVOF systems.
The Met-PCC(HVOF) system applies all of the simple control / operator interface features of Metallisation’s HVOF and Plasma systems. The ‘–L’ version can be interfaced with the MET-JET4L pistol and/or other non-Metallisation liquid fuel pistols. The ‘-G’ version can be interfaced to a range of non-Metallisation gas fuelled HVOF pistols.
The Met-PCC(HVOF) system has re-packaged the control elements and utilised the latest technology to optimise functionality and reliability. At the front end, the operator interface utilises an intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI), including the option to integrate video images into the display. The interface runs on a familiar touchscreen Windows PC platform with Intel Dual Atom processor which is great for usability, integration and communication. Behind the scenes, the latest PLC runs the system with communication between devices via the reliable Ethernet protocol.
As you would expect from a system of this standard, the gases/fluids are all mass-flow controlled for optimum repeatability of coatings. All spray parameters can have real-time trending on the system.
The result is a truly unique, compact design, flexible, easy to operate HVOF system, backed up by Metallisation’s 90 year+ industry experience and support.
MET-JET 4L HVOF Pistol
The Metallisation MET-JET 4L HVOF Pistol is a kerosene fuelled HVOF (High Velocity Oxygen Fuel) system. The system is mass flow controlled for repeatable coating quality and you have a choice of start-up gas, either hydrogen or propane fuelled.
Technical Overview
- Optimised, single point fuel injection system to promote a complete, clean burn within the combustion chamber.
- Two nozzle lengths available, 100mm and 200mm enable a wide range of coating properties to be achieved from hard but ductile coatings to extremely hard but more brittle coatings.
- Very simple nozzle design reduces consumable spares costs.
- Simple pistol maintenance for reduced downtime when changing consumables.
- Steel powder feed tubes for reliable operation – do not melt in operation.
- Robust chamber pressure transducer provides accurate feedback directly from the chamber.
- Sturdy, robust design for long service life. Robot mounting interface.

The below video introduces the Metallisation METJET-4L HVOF system for spraying dense metallic coatings. The coatings produced include hard chrome replacement NiCr coatings or even harder WC (Tungsten Carbide) coatings. Other materials can also be applied. The system is very easy to operate with touch screen controls. The METJET-4L system has a liquid fuel pistol and other liquid fuel pistols can also be controlled by the operation console. A variation of this system (the HVOF Pistol Control Console – PCC) can also control gas fuelled pistols.
