Are you pointing that gun at me?
The next part in the process is applying the powder to the components. The Powder Coating Machine consists of a hopper that holds the powder, a generator that creates the static electricity to charge the powder and a gun through which the powder is sprayed.
The hopper has a semi porous membrane in its base, air is passed through this to ‘fluidise’ the powder in the hopper, basically to slightly ‘puff up’ the powder so it becomes a mixture of powder and air. A venturi/nozzle in the hopper feeds the powder to the gun when the trigger is pulled and the generator sends static electricity to the tip of the gun to charge the powder.
The Powder Coating Machine has two controls, both of these must be in balance, firstly the purging air that passes through the venture nozzle in the hopper, this determines the amount of powder that reaches the tip of the gun and secondly the level of static electricity applied to the tip of the gun. If these two are not in balance then a variety of faults can occur which will be dealt with in the Trouble Shooting Section later in this article.
The key to producing a high quality finish is that the Powder Coater has ‘feel’ for the spray gun. He must be ‘in tune’ with the flow of powder coming out of the gun and apply it evenly all over the component, if the operator does not concentrate then it will result in an uneven coat of powder onto the part, some areas getting more powder and some not getting enough.
