Electrophoretic dip coating system
The electrophoretic dip coating system is a piece of equipment used in industrial surface technology for electrophoretic dip coating. This process is used to provide objects with an even and protective coating. The areas of application range from the automotive industry to various other manufacturing sectors.
In this system, the workpieces to be coated are immersed in an electrolyte bath containing the dip coating. The dip coating forms a dispersion in the liquid and is electrically conductive. The application of an electric current between the workpieces and an opposing electrode creates electrostatic forces. These forces cause the dip coating to adhere to the workpieces and form an even coating.
A characteristic feature of this method is the fact that the electric current only deposits the paint on the charged workpieces, resulting in a precise and efficient coating. The process also enables good adhesion and coverage of the paint on different surfaces.
The electrocoating system is characterized by its versatility, as it can be applied to different workpiece sizes and shapes. This method not only provides an effective coating, but also enables resource-saving use of the coating material.
Electrocoating technology is used successfully in various industries, particularly where a high-quality and protective surface coating is required. It helps to extend the service life of workpieces and improve their aesthetic appearance.
