Technology


	Technology:
	Your choices are...
	Electrostatic Coating		In electrostatic coating, paint droplets or coating powder particles are charged and then sprayed toward a part with an opposite and attractive electric charge. The spray process may be airless or air assisted. Since the charged powders in the spray stream are attracted toward the part, the electrostatic process help minimize overspray and waste. Coating powders in a fluidized bed can also be charged for the application of thicker coatings.
	Fluidized Bed		In fluidized bed systems, air is blown up through a porous bed or screen to suspend coating particles thereby forming a fluidized bed. Hot parts are inserted into the fluidized bed allowing the powder coating particles to stick onto the exposed surfaces.
	Specialty / Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary coating process or technology.

	Electrostatic / Charging Technology:
	Your choices are...
	Corona Charging (HV Power Supply)		The primary force for material transport in Corona powder coating systems is an electric field established between the charged powder cloud and the part. Corona powder coating guns use a high-voltage generator or power supply to disassociate air and produce a stream of negative or positive ions, which in turn imparts a like charge to the powder cloud. The potentials of the charged cloud and gun electrode combine to generate an electric field with the opposite pole (the part). Charged powder particles at the gun seek the lower potential of the opposite pole (the part).
	Tribo / Tribostatic Charging		In tribostatic powder coating systems, a tribo gun imparts a charge to the powder strictly by physical contact and movement between the powder and a surface capable of donating or receiving electrons. Tribocharging is the process of creating a static electric charge on powder particles by friction against a non-conductive material. All powder guiding parts in the gun are lined with insulating materials. The gun has a "friction body" with a complex pattern of turbulators through which the powder passes to maximize mixing and contact with the surface providing enhanced charging. The velocity at which the powder is liberated from the gun - not the field potential between the part and powder, controls powder transport strictly.

	Outfit / Complete System		Coating outfits, kits, or packages are small or portable machines or systems with all the components required for the coating process. For example, a wet spray paint outfit may consist of spray gun, pressure tank or spray cup, hose, nozzles, pump and ancillary components. Portable packages or outfits are capable of being carried or transported to the worksite, plant or field area. They may be cart or wall mounted unit.
	Component / Sub-system		Upgrades or replacement of individual coating or painting components or sub-systems such as pumping units, spray guns, dip tanks, plating power supplies, booths, roll coating heads, process water systems or dust collectors.

	System Option / Component:
	Your choices are...
	Applicator / Gun		The gun or applicator directs a stream of paint droplets, coating powder or adhesive through a nozzle or opening, at the appropriate region of the workpiece.
	Booth - Spray Room		Rooms or booths are used when processing larger workpieces. Rooms contain the painting or coating equipment, the workpiece and the operator. Booths usually contain internal lighting, ventilation, and recovery systems. The operator may operate the spray gun in offhand mode or the gun may be reciprocator mounted. The workpieces often rest on open grid flooring that allows used paint or powder coating to drop through for recycling.
	Booth - Hood / Cabinet		Paint spray hoods, bench top open-faced booths, or coating cabinets are smaller vessels that contain the workpiece and/or the process.
	Conveyor / Part Loader		Equipment or sub-systems for conveying, and loading or unloading parts into coating or painting systems.
	Dust Collection / Air Filtration System		Dust collection or filtration systems remove fine particle sizes of overspray or other coating waste that would otherwise become suspended in the air.
	Feeding / Metering Unit		Distribution or dispensing units that are used to control the rate that the coating media is fed into the applicator from the paint source. The component may consist of a valve, valve stack or manifold or electromechanical feeding system. Depending on the coating technology, the coating media may be in the form of powder, wire or liquid paint. Plural component coating systems have feeders or fluid handling components that will meter, mix and control the ratio of two or more different components.
	Pressure Tank / Pot		Tank or hopper for storage of paint, coating powders, or other coating media. The tank may or may not be pressurized.
	Oven / UV Curing Unit		Integral or optional ovens, dryers, infrared heaters, immersion heaters or other heating components for drying off or pre-heating part surfaces before coating, curing coatings or thermally reduce liquid resin viscosity. Thermal heating or curing systems can use infrared, RF, combustion, induction or resistance heating technologies.
	Pump / Compressor		The pump, compressor or pressure generator increases the pressure of the carrier fluid or propellant (typically air) or directly pressurizes and moves the paint or liquid coating. In air spray systems, air compressors are typically used to generate pressure.
	Reclaimer / Separator		Separators or reclaimers remove undersized powder, media and coarse waste. Reclaimed material can sometimes be recirculated back into the coating process if the media's particle size and coating characteristics still meet specifications.
	Booth - Tunnel / Continuous		Production tunnels consist of long walk-in enclosures containing continuous processing lines and systems for cleaning, coating, drying or curing and conveying, or material handling.
	Specialty / Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary component.

	Machine / Reciprocator		The spray gun, applicator, or coating unit is mounted and gun is manually directed on a reciprocator, robot arm, or in a stationary position on a machine or coating line. In a stationary mounting, the parts are moved by the machine such as conveyor, overhead rail or other material handling system. Typically, automatic guns and coating units are used in machine or reciprocator applications.
	Reciprocator / Robotic Arm		Reciprocators, oscillators, and robotic arms can uniformly paint or coat a surface by scanning a surface in a controlled and repeatable fashion. Coating or spraying equipment mounted on crawlers or robotic arms may also find use in hazardous situations such as in containment of toxic materials, extreme environment conditions or in hard to reach places (tower, tank walls, ship hulls, etc.) with associated fall hazards. Reciprocators and robotic arms are also used in dip coating processes to immerse and withdraw the part from the dip tank.
	Trailer / Vehicle		The machine can be mounted on or built into a trailer or vehicle. The trailer or vehicle is driven or towed to the worksite requiring coating, lining, or painting such as the side or interior of a steel tank, ship's hull, industrial flooring, or building wall.
