Abstract

A manufacturing method and facility (200) is provided for applying a coating, such as hot melt wax, to vehicle structural components, such as frames (202). A pair of vertically upstanding concentric cylinders (204, 206) define an annulus (208) therebetween, a portion of which provides a thin perimeter dip tank (212) containing coating liquid (214). The frames (202) are dipped vertically into the coating liquid and transported horizontally through the thin perimeter tank.
