ANNEAL
Same Iron.New Life.
Blast-and-bake powder coating for combine headers, auger flights, and tractor chassis. 48-hour turnaround. Mil-spec adhesion. Built to outlast the equipment it protects.
Down to bare metal.
Chemical stripping removes decades of failed paint, scale, and chemical contamination without touching the parent metal.

We run 47 implements through winter storage. First year we coated the whole fleet, we pulled zero rust failures in spring. Zero. That's never happened.

Turnaround matters when combines are down. They had my header back in 44 hours. The finish on the gathering chains was cleaner than factory.

Our refurb shop runs on margin. Anneal's fleet pricing and consistent mil specs let us quote coating as a line item on every trade-in. Resale went up $3,800 average on coated units.
