Steel Structure Component Powder Coating Production Line
I. Definition
A steel structure component powder coating production line is a specialized automated production equipment used for powder coating of steel structure components. The powder coating process utilizes the principle of electrostatic attraction to evenly spray the powder coating onto the surface of steel structure components. After high-temperature curing, a hard, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant coating is formed.
II. Main Components
| Component | Function | Key Equipment |
|---|---|---|
| Conveyor System | Transports steel structure components along a preset route to various processes, ensuring continuous production. | Hanging conveyor chain, roller conveyor, hoist, etc. |
| Pre-treatment System | Cleans the surface of steel structure components, removing oil, rust, and impurities to provide a good base for powder coating. | Degreasing tank, rust removal equipment, phosphating tank, passivation tank |
| Powder Coating System | Uses electrostatic attraction to evenly spray the powder coating onto the surface of steel structure components. | Electrostatic spray gun, powder recovery system, powder supply unit |
| Curing System | Heats and cures the coated steel structure components to form a hard protective coating. | Curing oven, heating elements, temperature control system |
| Control System | Controls the entire production line's operation, enabling automated control and parameter monitoring. | PLC control system, touch screen interface, sensor network |
III. Process Flow
| Step | Operation Content | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Loading | Place steel structure components on the conveyor system, preparing them for production. | Ensure components are securely placed to avoid falling during conveyance. |
| Pre-treatment | Components pass through degreasing, rust removal, phosphating, and passivation processes to clean the surface and form a protective film. | Control the concentration and temperature of each tank solution, and regularly replace the solutions. |
| Powder Coating | Use electrostatic spray guns to evenly apply powder coating onto the surface of steel structure components. | Adjust spray gun parameters to ensure uniform coating and recover unused powder. |
| Curing | Send coated steel structure components into the curing oven, heating to a preset temperature and maintaining it for a certain period. | Precisely control temperature and time to avoid over-curing or incomplete curing. |
| Unloading | Remove the cured steel structure components from the conveyor system for subsequent packaging and transportation. | Inspect coating quality to ensure no missed or sagged areas. |
IV. Equipment Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|

VII. Schematic Diagram (Description)
-
Loading Area: Steel structure components are placed on the conveyor system using cranes or forklifts.
-
Pre-treatment Area: Components pass through the degreasing tank, rust removal equipment, phosphating tank, and passivation tank in sequence.
-
Powder Coating Area: Powder coating is applied to the surface of steel structure components using electrostatic spray guns. Unused powder is recovered by the powder recovery system.
-
Curing Area: Coated steel structure components enter the curing oven for high-temperature curing.
-
Unloading Area: Cured steel structure components are removed from the conveyor system for inspection and packaging.
