How a unique plant can be created to specific needs? - By: Gareth Hoyle1

In many situations a company will require a bespoke powder coating plant using powder coating equipment can make a painting job, quicker, easier and more environmentally friendly.

If you were to paint a metal item normally, using wet paint, you are adding solvents to the object. This is because wet paint uses these solvents to make the paint stick to the object. However, if you use a powder coating plant the paint solids are sprayed directly onto the object in a powder form. This sticks to the object using an electrostatic charge which is applied to the powder during the spray.

Once the object has been sprayed using the plant the powdered paint needs to be heated in an oven at around 200 degrees centigrade so the powder melts to form a durable and resistant coating that is smooth and flawless.

Using Powder coating equipment creates a much better finish as the powder is fused onto the object, this gives it a sealed skin around the object that is scratch resistant and minimises the corrosion risk. Unlike wet paint, where any additional paint used is just put down as usage, excess spray powders can be collected and used again, this can save you money and is much better for the environment. Also using electrostatic to apply the powder means it is very easy to collect for re use or just to clean up after use, with wet paint you need cleaners and solvents to clean up any mess caused by the paint.

A powder coating plant is much more environment friendly as it does not use any solvents, this makes it safer to use in any enclosed environments like a warehouse or office and complies with all environmental legislations in power and proposed for the future. A powder coating plant and using powder coating equipment can also save you a lot of money as you do not need to use primers, multiple coats of paint, labour and you can re use any waste and the job is done relatively quickly needing only one coat in most cases.
