When your industry deals in powder coating large metal items with powder paint, you are often stuck trying to recover airborne materials while simultaneously coating the metal items. This really is a less than efficient means of painting large items, not to mention the health hazards involved. What if you could do it in such a way as to control the recovery and keep your employees healthy? Well, in Idaho, you can.
Blasting Rooms
Blasting rooms are literally fully enclosed, box-shaped rooms installed within your plant. Wheel almost anything into the blasting room space, close the door, and powder coat away. Before your employees even open the doors, flip a switch and the recovery process for airborne materials begins. Once that is done, leave the objects inside to settle, or remove and place in heat chamber to bake; your choice. There’s very little chance to breathe in any particles, and the enclosed recovery space prevents any accidental inhalation too.
Regular Powder Coating Techniques
Compare the blasting room to the typical process of powder coating. Most of the time your employees are fully suited up and masked head to toe. Their respirator filters have to be replaced often, and that’s costly. The blasting space has to be closed off completely from the rest of the plant and special ventilation and filtration measures must be in place at all times. Even then, particles can still remain after recovery, and the process is not as clean or as easy as a blasting room. If you want to know more, contact Airblast AFC. Follow them on Facebook.
