Maintenance of powder coating equipment

Equipment for applying powder paint is not capricious and lasts for decades. However, some points are important to take into account when using — wrong handling of equipment leads to coating defects and breakage. You don’t need a lot of knowledge to make your automatic line last for a long time.

“Smart Line” cares about its products even after the sale — we continue to service your equipment for years, and today we will explain how to take better care of it.

Spray gun

The nozzle of the sprayer and the tube to it must be kept clean — just blow air for a few minutes after spraying the powder. It is worth doing this procedure before changing the color — although it seems that a small amount of loose mass will have no effect, it is still able to change the color and quality of the coating. Different colors have different ingredients and nobody knows how they will interact in the mixture. For example, more gases may be released and therefore bubbles and chips will form on the film.

Also, check the cables to avoid sparks, ignition and electric shock.

Spraying chamber

The equipment retains all the paint suspended in the air or simply sifted from the product due to insufficient static charge. This technique allows you to store and reuse paints — provided the filters, cyclone and hoses are clean.

Transport system

The efficiency of the automatic line depends on the good operation of the conveyor system. Any problem on the conveyor will cause a lack of painting of the entire batch of products. It is necessary to monitor timely lubrication and check whether the rails do not sag — under constant load, deflection occurs, they must be tightened periodically. If the manufacturer uses a harder metal, then the structure will not be elastic and will break easily.

Line of preliminary preparation

Timely replacement of reagents and access to running water are critical for preparation lines. Track each filter change — a poorly cleaned chemical will not be removed rust and lubricants at the proper level. Washing water should not contain chlorides, sulfates, scale, etc.
