15 processing steps for fully automatic electrostatic powder coating lines for metal and furniture products

The automatic electrostatic powder coating line for metal and furniture products is an automatic equipment for powder coating the surface of metal and furniture products, it mainly includes the following parts: 

 

15 processing steps for powder coating lines for metal and furniture products


1. powder spraying line: 

it is the equipment that passes the workpiece through the pre-treatment system, drying box, powder coating spraying system, curing oven and cooling section in turn through the hanging conveyor. The specific process flow of the powder spraying line is as follows:


2. Hanging: 

the workpiece is hung on the hanging conveyor with a special hanging device so that it can pass through each process smoothly.


3. Degreasing spraying (50-60°C): 

the workpiece surface is sprayed and cleaned with a high pressure water jet to remove oil and dust.


4. Clear water spray (1 minute): 

the surface of the workpiece is rinsed with clear water to remove the residue of the degreasing agent.

5. Clear water spray (1 minute): 

repeat the previous step to ensure the surface of the workpiece is clean.


6. DI (swimming immersion) 1 minute): 

Immerse the workpiece in deionised water to remove ionic impurities from the water and improve coating adhesion.


7. Deionised spray (1 minute): 

Spray the surface of the workpiece using deionised water to further improve coating adhesion.


8. Deionised spray cleaning (1 minute): 

the surface of the workpiece is cleaned with deionised water to remove dust and impurities.


9. Draining section: 

The workpiece is passed through an inclined section to allow excess water to drip off naturally.

10. Drying (120°C, 8 minutes): 

The workpiece is fed into a drying oven where hot air is used to dry the surface of the workpiece and remove any residual moisture.


11. Cooling (18 minutes): 

The workpiece is sent into the cooling section, where a fan is used to cool the surface of the workpiece and reduce the temperature.


12. Spraying (automatic, manual repair or manual spraying): 

The workpiece is fed into the powder coating spraying system, which uses electrostatic or frictional charges to adsorb the powder coating onto the surface of the workpiece to form a uniform layer of powder. Depending on the coating requirements and efficiency, automatic reciprocating sprayers, manual sprayers or semi-automatic (automatic plus manual touch-up) sprayers can be selected. An automatic reciprocating sprayer uses a computer to control the movement and switching of the spray gun to achieve high speed, high efficiency and high quality coating; a manual sprayer is used by the operator to spray the workpiece with the gun in hand and is suitable for small batches or complex shaped workpieces; a semi-automatic (automatic spraying plus manual make-up spraying) sprayer combines both automatic and manual methods, with the automatic gun first spraying a large area of the workpiece and then the The operator will then make up for any missing or uneven areas.


13. Baking and curing (180-220°C adjustable, 28min): 

the workpiece is fed into the curing oven and the powder layer is melted, levelled and cross-linked at high temperatures to form a solid, smooth and beautiful coating using different heating methods and temperature requirements. According to the different heating methods and temperature requirements, you can choose from tunnel curing ovens, bridge curing ovens, electric heating curing ovens, gas heating curing ovens, diesel heating curing ovens, etc. Tunnel curing oven is a continuous workpiece through a rectangular heating space, suitable for mass production; bridge curing oven is the workpiece in a circular or oval heating space cycle, suitable for small and medium-sized production; electric heating curing oven is the use of resistance wire heating to heat the air, suitable for high temperature curing; gas heating curing oven is the use of natural gas or liquefied gas as fuel to heat The gas heated curing oven uses natural gas or liquefied gas as fuel to heat the air and is suitable for low temperature curing; the diesel heated curing oven uses diesel as fuel to heat the air and is suitable for medium temperature curing.


14. Cooling (18min): 

the workpiece is fed into the cooling section where a fan is used to cool the surface of the workpiece and reduce the temperature.


15. Sagging: 

the workpiece is removed from the suspension conveyor and checked for quality and packaging.
