How it Works
Metal Works Powder Coating provides everything in house at one location. We have an indoor blasting cabinet for small items and a large outdoor wet/dry blasting booth for all large items that require surface prep. All surface preparation and phosphating (metal pre-wash) is done in-house in order to expedite the turnaround time of our process. Metal Works Powder Coating has two batch ovens (20′ x 10′ and 12′ x 6′). We also have a large (20′ x 10′) powder coating booth with the newest filtration system to help serve you better.
Powder Coating Process
The powder coating process is fairly simplistic:
- The Preparation Stage: includes blasting or solvent cleaning to insure the piece is clean and ready for the Pretreatment Stage.
- The Pretreatment Stage: is important in making the surface “powder ready”. Using a phosphate-based solution, the surfaces of the desired piece is sprayed to protect and improve the powder adherence.
- After phosphating, the piece is put into the oven at 250 degrees F, to dry and is ready to be powder coated.
- Powder Coat: using an electrostatic gun, the powder is applied to the surface.
- The final stage is the Curing stage. This is when the powdered piece goes into the oven to cure. The powder is baked onto the surface at a temperature of 385 degrees F, roughly 15 to 25 minutes.
Sand Blasting
Sandblasters work by using finely ground silica sand that is propelled by means of an air powered pressure gun that fires out the sand at high velocity to impact with the intended surface. We can supply Sand Blasting if the piece is not prepared for the powder coating process. At Metal Works Powder Coating, we do mostly everything in house at one location. We have a blasting cabinet that fits smaller parts and a large outdoor blasting booth for the larger pieces. We do all our own phosphating to increase the turnaround speed of our products. Along with two batch ovens and a large powder coating booth to serve you better.
