Résumé : |
Powder coating, widely used in industry since the early seventies, is now a mature process, yet still an industry that suffers from immaturity.
Initially powder coating was seen as low quality process which was only suitable for a small number of colours. The number of these colours was very limited and colour changes on the production line were infrequent. In those days so called cartridge modules were very popular because they offered 100% powder recovery. Many things have changed since then. The number of colours sprayed has increased dramatically, colour changes are frequent and film thickness needs to be monitored and controlled to keep costs low. In addition cartridge modules have often been replaced by cyclone recovery systems, which are by nature not 100% efficient. All these factors reveal that system operating efficiency has become the determining factor for investments.
Nordson, a leading supplier of surface finishing aquipment, has taken the approach that the lastest generation equipment needs to move the industry forward from it current point, by achieving process control over the powder plant for the first time. |
