Dense phase conveying

Dense phase conveying in conjunction with powder coatings is an important process in surface technology that is used in various industries. This process is a method of evenly distributing powder coating on the surface of a workpiece in order to achieve a high-quality and long-lasting coating.

Dense phase conveying is based on the principle of electrostatic attraction. During the process, the powder coating material is applied to the workpiece in fine powder form. At the same time, an electrical charge is imparted to the powder coating. This causes the powder particles to be attracted to the charged workpieces, which enables uniform distribution on the surface.

A decisive advantage of dense phase conveying is its efficiency. Since the powder particles are directed specifically to the workpieces, there is little or no scattering loss. This leads to higher material utilization and reduces waste, which is economically advantageous.

After the powder coating material is applied to the workpiece, it is melted by heating in an oven and fused to form a solid coating. This melting process provides uniform distribution of the coating and ensures high adhesion to the surface of the workpiece.

The areas of application for dense phase conveying with powder coating are diverse. They range from the coating of metal parts for the automotive industry to the manufacture of household appliances and the design of surfaces in architecture. The technology enables a wide range of colors and surface effects and provides protection against corrosion and external influences.

Overall, dense phase powder coating is a proven method in surface engineering to produce high-quality coatings that are durable and aesthetically pleasing. It plays an important role in the manufacturing industry, helping to improve products by optimizing their surface properties.
