Automated Powder Coating!
It Looks Like Paint But It Acts Like Armor.It's tough. It looks great. And it lasts a long, long time. Powder coating is a superior finish that's found on hundreds of products you come in contact with each day. It makes products durable, attractive, and does not run.
How Does It Work?
Powder coating is a dry finishing process. Finely ground particles of pigment and resin are electrostatically charged and sprayed onto the products to be coated.
The parts to be coated are electrically grounded, so that the charged particles adhere to them until melted and fused into a solid coating in a curing oven.
The result is an attractive, durable, high-quality finish. The powder coating process itself offers another advantage -- it is environmentally friendly...virtually pollution-free!
Unlike liquid paint, no solvents are used, so only negligible amounts of VOCs are released into the air. In addition, unused or oversprayed powder can be recovered, so any waste is minimal and can be disposed of easily and safely.

Our powder line is a fully automated conveyerized production line. We have an automated wash with reclaim drip tunnel. Large dry off and cure ovens. Our conveyer line allows us to run parts 20' long, 8' tall, and up to 2' wide. Our production line speed runs up to 10' per minute! Inside our "clean room" or powder coating booth we have 2 cyclone recovery systems. This allows us to reclaim the powder that is not collected on the part from the electrostatic application. By doing so it allows us to be more "lean" than other coaters. Our ovens run up to 450 degrees.We also have the ability to batch spray. This means that parts that are larger that will not fit on our conveyor line can be hung on our rack that is 8' wide by 8' tall a up to 25' long. We can coat larger items like sand rails, UTV racks, spiral stairs and many more.
Below I have posted a video of our booth as well as pictures of our load area, wash and drip tunnel, cure oven, spray booth, batch racks, cyclone recoveries and our plant photo. If you have any questions regarding any of your powder coating needs feel free to contact me directly.
