Stop Guessing. Start Coating.

Bespoke Pre-Treatment Systems Designed for Guaranteed Finish Quality and Compliance.

As a pre-treatment system manufacturer, we know the truth: Your finish is only as good as your preparation. ISS Engineering Group designs and builds industrial pre-treatment solutions that eliminate risk, guarantee coating adhesion, and ensure you meet the most stringent environmental regulations.

For over three decades, we’ve specialized in transforming complex manufacturing and finishing challenges into highly efficient, future-proof pre-treatment operations. Your search for a reliable, expert partner ends here.

Is Your Current Pre-Treatment System Costing You?

Many manufacturers face critical issues that cut directly into their profit margins and quality reputation:

Pain PointThe ISS Engineering Group Solution
High Rework/RejectsWe design chemistries and stage times based on your exact substrate and required finish. Guaranteed consistent surface profile.
Escalating Utility BillsSolutions featuring modern, low-temperature, and low-chemical-use technologies (e.g., Zirconium Oxide). Proven energy savings.
Environmental Compliance RiskFull integration of modular Effluent Treatment (ET) plants. Turn a waste liability into a compliant discharge.
Production BottlenecksSystems engineered for your specific throughput (Batch or Conveyorised). Maintain or exceed your required cycle time.
Outdated TechnologyFuture-proofing through smart retrofitting and IIoT integration for predictive maintenance and process control.

Engineered for Results:
Our Core Pre-Treatment Expertise

We don’t sell ‘off-the-shelf’ solutions; we sell performance. Every system manufactured at our Heywood, Manchester facility is a bespoke engineering project built to your specification.

1. Advanced Cleaning & Conversion

We manufacture and integrate all leading pre-treatment technologies:

  • Multi-Stage Spray Washers: High-volume automated systems using alkaline cleaning, iron or zinc phosphate, and the latest Nano-Ceramic (Zirconium) conversion coatings for superior, low-energy preparation.
  • Immersion (Dip) Systems: Complete tank lines with heating, agitation, and filtration for large, complex, or heavy parts requiring total surface contact.
  • Vapour Degreasing & Solvent Systems: Specialised solutions for precision engineering and sensitive materials like aluminium and steel.

2. Effluent Treatment (ET) & Sustainability

We are one of the few manufacturers who build and seamlessly integrate the entire pollution control process. Our modular ET plants ensure your system meets current and future environmental standards, often turning waste streams into reusable water.

3. Full Project Lifecycle Management

From initial CAD design and chemistry consultation to on-site installation, commissioning, and operator training, our dedicated team manages all phases. Our combined expertise of over 140 years ensures your project is delivered on time, within budget, and to a faultless standard.
