Automatic Powder Coating Line Introductions


Automated Powder Coating Line Working Process

Workparts movement is driven through the overhead conveying system, firstly will be transported into the pretreatment spray tunnel for chemical washing and water washing, then enters into the drying tunnel for heating to get a dry, clean, adhesive surface.  When passing through an automatic spray booth, the workparts obtain powder spraying by automatic equipment with uniform powder coating film. Overspray powders will be transferred from spray booth floor to the powder feed center for sieving and recycling back to the spray guns.  Afer powder spraying, those workparts will be automatically transported into a curing tunnel, the coating film gets fully cured as workparts exit from the tunnel oven.
