A product or components life is significantly affected by the method used to prepare it prior to powder coating. BGID use a Vixen Tristar 4 stage pre-treatment plant ensuring complete removal of grease and other oily deposits, as well as phosphating the surface before powder coating, allowing BGID POWDER COATING to achieve up to 450 salt spray hours on aluminium.
Pre-treated products are loaded onto a conveyor, and where appropriate are etch primed before passing through the RDM purpose built spray booth area, arranged in opposing format. An electrical charge is applied to the powder as it leaves the spray gun thus ensuring that it then adheres to the earthed product moving by on the conveyor.
Finally, products pass through the RDM variable temperature heat treatment plant where the application of heat causes the powder to form a layer several times stronger than traditional paint.
After curing and cooling, all products are visually inspected before being appropriately packed and wrapped before despatch. BGID can undertake straight forward sub assembly and finishing operations where required, thus reducing handling costs and lead times.
For larger
and more cumbersome components and products, BGID offer a 3000 mm. Waterwash
Spray Booth matched to a 3000 mm. x 2000 mm. Box Oven
