Powder extraction

In painting technology, powder extraction plays a crucial role in ensuring a high-quality finish while keeping the working environment clean. This technology is used to efficiently extract excess powder during the painting process to ensure an even coating on the workpieces.

Special extraction devices such as extraction hoods or extraction walls are placed above or around the painting area to extract the resulting powder directly. This not only prevents contamination of the surrounding area, but also prevents excess powder from being fed back into the painting process, which can lead to undesirable effects such as an uneven coating or color deviations.

The extracted powder particles are transported through a pipe system or hoses to a central extraction system where they are collected and processed. This enables efficient reuse of the powder, which offers both economic and ecological benefits. Powder extraction not only improves the quality of the paint finish, but also optimizes working conditions for employees by reducing exposure to harmful particles.
