Recovery of powder coatings

The recovery of powder coatings is an important step in the powder coating process and helps to reduce material losses and improve the environmental friendliness of the process.

During the powder coating process, powder coatings that have not been applied to the workpiece may be surplus and lost in the environment of the coating room. To minimize these losses and reduce costs, various methods are used to recover excess powder.

A common method of recovering powder coatings is to use a recovery system that separates excess powder from the air and returns it to the coating circuit. This system may include a powder sifter, cyclone separator or filter system that captures excess powder and collects it for reuse or disposal.

In addition, manual methods can also be used to recover powder coatings, such as manually vacuuming excess powder from the coating room or scraping powder from return belts or collection surfaces.

The recovery of powder coatings not only helps to reduce material losses and costs, but also helps to minimize the environmental impact of disposing of excess powder. Reusing powder coatings also improves the sustainability of the coating process and increases resource efficiency. Overall, the recovery of powder coatings is an important aspect of powder coating technology that contributes to improving the cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness of this coating process.
