Uses of powder coating equipment

Powder coating is basically a process of applying a coating without the need to use solvents. This process is quite similar to applying dry paint on the surface and instead of paint, pigmented powder that is created from aluminum, medium density fiberboards, fusion bonded epoxy and acrylics are used to produce polymer granules. All these items are mixed with powder ingredients and pigments to produce the desired color. There are various equipment that are used in powder coating including powder coating booths, guns and hoppers. All the equipment are helpful in the entire purpose of powder coating and performs different functions.

·         Powder coating spray booth

Powder coating lures can be a messy task as it involves a pressurized air system underneath its liquid supply. A powder coating booth provides an area to perform the powder coating task and hence keep all the mess contained. The powder booths that are being developed today are ever evolving, technologically advanced, sophisticated pieces of equipment, which are capable of adapting to changing environmental standards with respect to the emission of volatile organic compounds and particulate matter. The biggest challenge that is being faced by the manufacturers of powder booth is the advent of waterborne paint, which contains little in the way of volatile organic compounds. Although, waterborne paint is much healthier for the environment, it poses problems for powder coating booth users because it is slow to dry.

·         Powder coating spray gun

A powder coating gun sprays the electrically charged powder on the surface of the object. There are different types of powder coating guns available and you can make a selection depending upon your nature of work. The corona charging gun uses electricity and the tribo charging gun makes use of friction for powder coating. There is another type of powder coating spray gun that are known as bell charging gun flings in which the powder is inserted to the perimeter to the perimeter of the bell in order to produce the charge. After spraying the object using a powder coating gun, you can place it on the top of a powder coating oven. Depending upon your capacity of your production, you can use an oven that allows you to add customizable compartments for bigger production capacity.

·         Powder coating hoppers and nozzles

These powder coat equipment are designed for maximum reliability, quality, efficiency and ease of cleaning. They are basically stainless steel component design that are engineered for easy cleaning and maintenance. Another powder coating equipment, nozzles are used for almost all the applications of powder coating.
