Centrifuging

Centrifuging is a process used in coating technology to evenly distribute low-viscosity coating materials on three-dimensional objects. This process uses centrifugal force to distribute the coating material evenly over the surface of the workpiece to be coated.

During centrifuging, the workpiece is placed in a rotating drum or centrifuge. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation causes the liquid coating material to be pushed outwards. This leads to an even distribution of the material on the surface of the workpiece. The excess coating material is removed by the centrifugal force, resulting in a uniform and thin coating.

This process is often used for coating small, complex shaped parts where conventional coating methods may not be effective. Centrifuging is particularly suitable for parts with cavities, recesses or complex geometries as it allows the coating material to be distributed in hard-to-reach areas.

In addition to uniform coating, centrifuging offers the advantage of rapid drying, as the excess coating material is removed by the centrifugal force. This results in an efficient and time-saving coating method in various industries, including the manufacture of electronic components, medical devices and other precision-manufactured products. Overall, centrifuging provides an effective and economical way to apply thin coatings to three-dimensional objects.
