Electrostatic fluidized bed process

The electrostatic fluidized bed process is a surface technology process based on the principles of electrostatic forces to apply powder coatings to three-dimensional objects. This process is used particularly in industrial production when it is necessary to achieve an even and effective powder coating on complex-shaped workpieces.

In this process, the object to be coated is immersed in a powder bed that is charged with electrostatic charges. The electrical charging of the powder bed and the object creates electrostatic forces that cause the powder to adhere to the workpiece. The electrostatic forces create a "whirling effect" in which the powder is distributed evenly and efficiently over the entire surface of the workpiece.

A key advantage of this process is its ability to reach areas that are difficult to access. The whirling effect ensures that corners, edges and recesses are coated evenly, resulting in a homogeneous surface coating. In addition, the electrostatic charge enables precise control of the powder quantity, resulting in efficient use of the coating material.

The electrostatic fluidized bed process is often used in the automotive industry, furniture production and other industries where a high-quality and aesthetically pleasing powder coating is required on three-dimensional objects. The electrostatic application not only meets aesthetic requirements, but also provides a durable and protective coating on the workpieces.
