What happens here

Cleaned and dried parts are conveyed to the powder coating booth. The parts are chemically treated to further aid rust prevention and paint adhesion. Inside the booth, an operator in a full protective suit manually sprays the yellow powder paint onto the parts. The powder itself is stored in a 'powder kitchen,' where it is fluidized by pumping air through the bottom, making it behave like a liquid. This fluidized powder is then pumped through hoses to the spray guns in the booth. Any oversprayed powder is collected and recycled, demonstrating efficient material use. After coating, the parts are hot, indicating they were pre-heated to aid powder adhesion.

Goal: Apply a durable powder coat finish to metal components.

y all [Music] right now this metal is actually hot at this point and I don't want to touch it cuz I don't want the oils from my skin on that right exactly right so when these go through our washer they get fully degased and then they all also get a chemical pre-treatment put on top helps with brust prevention helps the paint the powder stick to it but that's exactly right so this is a chemically treated surface now that's about to go into the powder coat Booth get the powder sprayed on [Music] all right so we're over at What's called the powder kitchen for the powder moood in this bin right here is the the raw material it's the powder coat itself that we paint on S is actually powder yes it's actually powder what's happening here we're pumping air it's the bottom of this bin right here it's called fluidizing so you'll actually be able to see it's moving around like water like a liquid almost it's it's drying it's it's a louder right but it's powder and that's what lets this Pulpit for these hoses P out the G and that's recycling materal yep so this the he recap is everything that doesn't get adhere to the material yep it gets reused right here okay so it goes directly from Powder Coating right into the oven and that oven baked it at what temp 450° and we've got this array of ir infrared heaters that'll actually warm up the part and gel the powerder coat before it goes in the oven to help Kickstart that curing process and it takes a bit to do it so you got to have a long run so this whole thing is a giant oven yep yeah this whole big Hors Sho structure is a giant oven and it once it comes out of the oven see down in there once it comes out these fans instantly start to cool it and then this is a cooling chamber here too right yes this is a cooling chamber this whole thing heign to cool off the park y okay Nick what station is this we're at now so we're at the frame
