The powder coat paint preparation process typically involves a series of cleaning, rinses and chemical treatments to completely clean and etch/coat the material surface to allow for maximum powder coat paint adhesion.
Types Powder Coat Surface Cleaning and Prep Equipment
Depending on part size and production volume rates, many different types of equipment can be used for preparing parts for powder coat painting. From manual cleaning / prep spray booth, turntables to fully automated monorail powder coat prep systems, Best Technology offers a full selection of powder coat prep equipment.
Powder Coat Prep Parts Washing Spray Booth / Pressure Spray Wash Pad
A wash booth / pressure spray pad is the most common setup for small volume or large parts which vary greatly in size. The floor is made of grated / perforated steel / stainless steel to allow for solution to drain through.
