Albatur Resolves Electrostatic Powder Coating Operations Internally
Aware of the importance of applied paint on product quality and durability, our company has established a Robotic coating facility to provide the best service to its customers and to ensure quality and standards in the product painting process. Our Robotic powder coating plant, which can apply both Tribo and Corona powder paint models, is supported by a curing oven group with a natural gas burner unit on a 62-meter conveyor line. It has been designed with an integrated Cyclone system in the paint booth, envisioning an operation model sensitive to the environment and human health.
In our facility, which has a daily coating capacity of 40,000 (medium-sized) pieces, parts made of extruded aluminum, formed sheet metal, and components manufactured from zinc and aluminum injection materials are subjected to the painting process following the surface treatment process. Based on daily production lots and color changes during post-paint inspections, the following process and quality controls are performed within specific lot intervals:
-
Paint Thickness Test
-
Buchholz Indentation Test
-
Crack and Flexibility Test
-
Crush Test / Deformation Test
-
Brightness Control
-
Adhesion Test (Cross-Cut Test)
The powder coatings used in our facility belong to product groups holding ISO TS 16949 – IATF 16949:2016, Qualicoat, UL 1332, and Organic Coatings for Steel Enclosures for Outdoor Use Electrical Equipment certificates.
