The manufacturing of a product begins in the fabrication of all of the parts needed to make it work. It continues into the assembly area and makes it way though these many processes until it ready for boxing or bagging and shipped to the end user. One of the stops, along the way to this point is the paint booth. Many companies in your field will, at this stage, take advantage of the powder coating Statesville NC specialty companies offer.
Each part of the component you are producing will need to be coated to protect them from the elements or to make them nicer to look at. The spot welds, the sanding and all other processes will often leave a surface that is not attractive. Painting can accomplish this, however, this coat will often chip or crack and flake off. The coatings that are applied through powder processing will not.
Most of the items seen today have this type of protective coat on them. Computer cases and appliances are just a couple of these. Large refrigerated cases are on this list as well as many plumbing parts that must be protected from a lot of contamination on a constant basis. Looking good is just one of the several reasons for this coating.
When the preferred coating is paint, the amount of dust free space that must be allocated is substantial. The cleaning, laying or hanging of all parts to receive paint must be available. The curing area is also a large space as this will often take many hours to completely dry. The need to not disturb this material as they are drying is also something to plan into the arraignment of the plant and processing areas.
For a powder coating process, not as much room will be needed. It can be set up easily and the oven can be located in the same area. Most smaller firms do, however, farm this work out as it is easier to concentrate on the manufacturing of the components and not worry about the coating. Larger firms may have these areas set up for this work.
Processing these parts through this area looks as simple as any other process. The parts are cleaned and hung on hooks, after being connected to a positive electrical charge through the use of a small clamp. The negative charge of the powder will help the sprayed on substance to hold onto the part. The oven will finish the whole process.
Heating the oven to between about 200 degrees and 400 degrees will allow the shortest amount of time for curing the powder unto the metal piece. This will melt and flow into many of the recesses and most of the imperfections that may be present. This curing takes place very quickly and presents a durable, colorful surface that will resist abrasions and abuse.
Time and money that is saved because of the use of a professional firm to do this powder coating can be spent in other areas. Whether you set this equipment up in your plant or take advantage of an outside firm is your choice. This can certainly level the field as far as presentation of items offered by smaller companies against those offered by larger firms.
