Powder output
Powder output is an important aspect of the powder coating process. It describes the amount of powder that is applied to the surface to be painted. Optimum powder output is crucial to achieve an even and consistent coating.
Too little powder output can lead to insufficient coating, resulting in uneven or incompletely covered surfaces. This can lead to problems such as color differences or missing areas in the coating. On the other hand, too much powder output can lead to overcoating, wasting powder unnecessarily and incurring additional labor costs. The powder output is typically adjusted by controlling the air and powder supply in the spray gun or powder application system. By fine-tuning these parameters, the amount of powder applied to the surface per unit of time can be precisely controlled.
An experienced painter can adjust the powder output according to the specific requirements of the workpiece and the powder manufacturer's recommendations. This often requires a certain amount of experience and dexterity to achieve the optimum coating thickness and quality. By regularly checking and adjusting the powder output during the coating process, problems such as uneven coating, colour deviations or overcoating can be minimized, resulting in a high-quality and economical coating.
