Powder Coating Recovery

By
The function of a powder recovery system is to collect any overspray material and return it suitable for recycling, while at the same time removing the powder particles from the exhaust air stream before it discharges into the atmosphere.  The recovery system consists of three components: the booth, which contains the excess powder; the collector, which retrieves the excess; and the filters, which clean and return the air. 

Booth:
  • Provides a contained area for the application and holds excess powder
  • Provides a controlled atmosphere with safe operating levels
  • Permits the maximum possible exposure time of the parts to the powder
  • Circulates the powders’ concentration towards the parts and away from the booth walls

Collector:
  • Separates the powder from the air stream exhaust
  • Allows for a maximum retrieval of powder overspray
  • Permits a central collection area to reintroduce reclaim powder into the untouched powder

Filter:

  • Allows for the return of cleaned conditioned air back into the coating area

TCI's formulation lab uses innovative technology to enhance the economic and environmental benefits of our offerings. One way we do that is by offering fast cure technology. The benefits of these cures include:  1) Energy Savings: Increased line speeds = reduced manufacturing hours 2) Maximized Output Profit: By coating more parts in the same amount of time, the manufacturing costs  is lowered improving the profit margin per part 3) Eliminate bottlenecks associated with cure time/temperature restraints of the power application/cure process 4) Reduced carbon footprint in combination with reduced operating hours The faster you can cure, the less you need to run the cure oven, and the greener your powder coating process will be.  Discover our stock Fast Cure (FC) product offerings on our color card here:  https://tcipowder.com/products/color-cards/stock-color-card/

Fabtech is always an exciting and electrifying show, and this year in Chicago was no different. The event attendees totaled over 48,000 from 95 different countries. TCI utilized the same booth we did last year, a 20’ x 20’ space with graphics highlighting our values: innovation, service and performance, and also our 7 core markets. This year we brought TCI product literature such as stock color cards, case studies and RAL Decks. We also used this opportunity to launch our new high-performance FenceCoat Gen II platform and highlighted it with various fence parts coated in popular architectural colors. Other powder coated parts we displayed included domes and speed shapes. The bright colors and variety of textures on these pieces brought much attention and people were intrigued by all the options that powder coatings can offer. Our favorite part of the show was getting the opportunity to chat with attendees and the other exhibitors involved in the Finishing Market. I...
