What happens here

Components are then prepared for the powder coating process. This involves de-slagging, where any welding slag or imperfections are scraped off the metal surfaces. Following this, the parts are sent through a shot blasting chamber. Inside, 20-horsepower electric motors propel small metal BBs at the steel components to thoroughly clean off any remaining dirt, rust, or contaminants. The parts then proceed through a washing station to remove any residue from the shot blasting, followed by a drying chamber to ensure all water is removed. This extensive cleaning and preparation process is essential for the powder coat to adhere properly and for long-lasting corrosion protection.

Goal: Clean and prepare metal surfaces for powder coating.

field all right we're off to the powder [Music] so what is that considered deuring or dagging or what do they call that what you're doing be slagging be slagging okay that's what [Music] they [Music] okay next yeah it gets hung yes it's then to gets shot blasted yep right there yep so it's got BBS that shoot it to clean yeah yeah so we're actually throwing little metal VB there's 8 20 horsepower wheels on there so each of those yellow things it's a 20 horsepower electric motor there's eight of them and all they're doing is throwing these little metal BBs at the steel to clean it off and then it gets washed yep then it gets dried yeah get all the water off then it gets painted powder coated yeah powder coated and then it gets paint yep all right we got it we can't go into the washer now we can't go into the dryer but let's go see how they powder coting y all
