Powder Coating with PoDCo
Powder coating is a “green” friendly painting process introduced in the late 1940’s where the paint is actually a dry powdery material. The powder is sprayed at and clings to the part, then goes into an oven, where it is cured. During the curing process, the powder turns into a liquid and flows for a uniform coating. When the part comes out of the oven, it needs only to cool and is then ready to be put to use, or continue on through the dye sublimation line for further processing.
We powder coat for our clients in two different ways, depending on the size of the product needing powder coating. For smaller and oddly shaped materials, we use the in-line process. For our large materials such as trailers, we use the batch process. Below is an explanation of how these processes work.
The In-Line Process
Step 1
Parts are hung on fixtures in our overhead conveyor, where they proceed through a 5 stage cleaning process and drying cycle
Step 2
Parts go into the spray booth for the application of powder.
Step 3
Parts are put into a bake oven, and then a cooling oven.
Step 4
Parts are inspected, unloaded and then packaged and shipped.
The Batch Process
Step 1
Parts are cleaned, phosphate is added for metal parts, and the parts are hung to dry on fixtures
Step 2
Parts are then grounded and sprayed with powder and rolled into an oven to cure
Step 3
The parts are cooled and ready to inspect, package and ship
