Powder coatings are the largest consumption in electrostatic powder coating line, which accounts for more than 70% of the cost of electrostatic powder coating line. The quality of the spray booth and recovery system depends on the powder consumption per unit area. Therefore, the choice of a suitable spray system relates to the core competitiveness of customers.
Powder coating recovery system selection are affected by the color and type of powder, the shape of the workpiece, the installation site, spraying requirements and many other factors.
The powder coating booth itself there are many types.
By the recycle systems, there are single-stage filter recycle booth, multicyclone two-stage recycle booth and monocyclone two-stage recovery booths, ect.
By spray materials, the booth can be made of coated cold-rolled plate, stainless steel plate, engineering pp plastics, etc.
By the operation method, they can be manual spray booth, automatic reciprocating coating booth.
It is necessary for you to know the powder coating booth with different recycle system:
A) Filter Powder Recovery Booth
A filter powder recovery booth includes an air suction device, a filter back blower, a group of cartridge filters, and a powder collector box. The filter element can be connected to the dusting room by using an exhaust pipe, or connected by a side wall close to the exhausting mode.Features:
1) The powder can be recycled 98%, even capturing the ultrafine powders, with small floor space and low investment;
2) Suitable for spraying without color change or just spray-to-waste demand.
B) Multi Cyclone Powder Recovery Booth
The Multi cyclone powder booth comprises an automatic powder coating application chamber, a multi cyclone separator, a secondary filter unit.Features:
1) Applicable to multi-color powder coating occasions, automatic cleaning during color change, mainly
2) The footprint is less than the MONO cyclone system, but the recycling efficiency is not powerful as mono-cyclone device.C) Mono-cyclone with filter secondary recovery system
The mono-cyclone powder booth system an automatic powder coating application chamber, a mono-cyclone separator, a secondary filter unit.The powder that has not been adsorbed to the workpiece is collected by a mono-cyclone through the exhaust pipe, and is sent to the powder management center by the automatic transfer device of the recovered powder. After being sieved, it is dropped into the powder hopper, mixed with the new powder, and then delivered to the spray gun.2) Requires factory space whose height should be more than 5 meters.
Let's make a conclusion of how to choose a right powder coating booth for you!
If your just have very small production scale, do not need to change powder color, obviously choosing an economical manual type powder coating booth, these booths are often configured with one or two recycle stage included a group of cartridge filters.
Filter type spray booth can be listed as open face type powder booth (suitable for small and medium sized parts), and pass thru type powder booth (suitable for long thin parts).
Otherwise, if your have more powder colors based on small production scale, you can order extra filters, those filters are quick-release type, for color change, you can replace the filters just by hands without any tools. But remember after replacing new filters, it is necessary to clean the booth chamber to aviods different powders' mixture causing color aberration. A simple and effective method for small application scale in different colors is buying more quantity of filter powder spray booths.
If you have big scale production with single color, a filter type automatic spray booth is a good choice, this kind of booth works with conveyor system, automatic reciprocating guns.
If your requires color change in automatic line, using multi cyclone or mono cyclone with secondary filter stage is necessary, which one is suitable depends on your factory space as I mentioned above. If you want to achieve highest efficiency in color change powder coating line, using PP plastic materials cyclone spray booth can achieve maximum cleaning efficiency, as the plastic wall is anti-static, does not stick and absorb electrostatic powders, in which case minimizes down time. PP automatic powder coating cyclone booth is the optimal choice for fast color change powder coating line.
