Transporter System in Ghana
SEW Surface Coating Pvt. Ltd. designs, manufactures and installs PLC-controlled transporter systems for manufacturers in Ghana. Every plant is built at our own works in Pune, India, then export-packed and shipped to Ghana, with erection and commissioning support from our engineers.
A transporter is the main production equipment of a dip tank line. It loads and unloads jobs into the tanks on a programmed cycle, based on the time required in each tank, and sequences the critical tanks so jobs are removed from them with minimal delay.

Transporter Systems for Ghana's Industry
Ghana's manufacturing centres are Tema Industrial Area, Accra, Kumasi and Takoradi, with new capacity at the Dawa Industrial Zone. Steel, roofing, furniture, electrical and agro-processing equipment makers are growing.
In Ghana, demand for transporter systems comes mainly from steel structure fabricators, furniture and storage makers and electrical and panel makers. In dip pretreatment, leaving a job too long in degrease, de-rust, zinc phosphate or the water drying oven damages it. A PLC transporter gives those critical tanks priority, holds each tank time accurately and keeps the line at its planned production rate.
Local fabricators are adding coating capacity to replace imported finished products.
Transporter System Modes We Supply in Ghana
Manual / Semi-Automatic / Automatic
The transporter lifts the basket or jig, travels over the tanks and dips it as per the process. It can be operated manually, semi-automatically or fully automatically.
- Programmed cycle based on tank timings
- Priority sequencing for critical tanks
- PLC control for the target production rate
Applications
Used on dip pretreatment plants, CED coating lines and other multi-tank chemical processes where jobs move between tanks on a timed cycle.
- Dip pretreatment plants
- CED coating plants
- In-line water drying ovens
How the Transporter Cycle Works
The PLC runs the cycle below and repeats it for every job:
- LoadJob is loaded in a basket or jig at the loading station.
- Lift & TravelTransporter lifts the job and travels to the next tank.
- DipJob is lowered into the tank for the set time.
- Priority PickupJobs in critical tanks are picked first to avoid damage.
- DryingJob is placed in the in-line water drying oven.
- UnloadFinished job returns to the unloading station.
Critical tanks such as degrease, de-rust, zinc phosphate and the WDO are treated on priority, so jobs are removed from them with minimal time loss.
Equipment Supplied With the Transporter System
Pretreatment Plant
Dip or spray pretreatment cleans and phosphates the metal surface so the coating adheres well and resists corrosion.
Water Drying Oven
Dries parts completely after the final rinse, since moisture left on the surface spoils the finish.
Oil Skimmer
Continuously removes floating oil from the degreasing tank, so the chemical lasts longer and parts come out cleaner.
Sludge Separator
Separates phosphate sludge from the bath to keep the process stable and cut tank-cleaning downtime.

Transporter System in Ghana – Frequently Asked Questions
Do you export transporter systems to Ghana?
Yes. SEW Surface Coating Pvt. Ltd. manufactures transporter systems at its factory in Pune, India, and exports them to customers in Ghana, with erection and commissioning support from our engineers.
What does a transporter system do?
It loads and unloads jobs into the various tanks of a chemical process on a programmed cycle, based on the time required in each tank.
Why is priority sequencing important?
Leaving a job too long in critical tanks such as degrease, de-rust, zinc phosphate or the water drying oven can damage it. The transporter picks jobs from these tanks first so they are removed with minimal time loss.
Can the transporter be added to an existing dip plant?
Yes, subject to the tank layout and building structure. We study your existing pretreatment plant and propose a suitable transporter.
Is a manual mode available?
Yes. Transporters can run in manual, semi-automatic or automatic mode.
How is the plant shipped to Ghana?
The plant is fabricated at our Pune works, export-packed and shipped from Nhava Sheva (JNPT) port near Mumbai to Tema. Our engineers can travel to supervise erection and commissioning.
