What happens here

The video showcases the powder coating process, a critical step for durability and appearance. Parts are hung on a conveyor system and moved into a booth where a specialist, using an electrostatic gun, applies a red powder coat. This powder is then cured in an oven, creating a resilient, long-lasting finish that protects the metal components from environmental elements.

Goal: Understand the finishing process for metal parts.

up here in the ceiling you can feel all the vacuum just drawing up this powder coat and this is the powder coat area right here real people once again guys so each part comes through here between three and four thousand parts per day their powder coated by hand and then they're sent through this whole system the whole setup takes about four hours per part to cure these parts out now most ventrac parts are made and powder coated some parts with sealed bearings and such like that might not be powder coated there's only a few parts that are painted and these are foots that go on mowing decks right here so there would be a wheel attached to this right here and it's going back in here to an oven to bake pretty rad now basically the whey powder coating works if you guys don't know because electricity is passed through these metal hooks and it draws magnetically the powder to the part and it sucks to it and it goes in here and it's baked on like enamel [Applause] [Music] they said there's a quarter-mile track running through here and all this stuff just travels throughout can you imagine having this job and you can see that it's semi automated so there's a sprayer over here that's dousing this stuff with the powder and then he's touching up all the little spots that are kind of tough the little corners a little nuances that need to be handled so again checks and balances here a lot of quality control of bed track we got a serious Tony Raines farm fan this is fun now let's go see stuff that actually looks like a tractor
