• Grounding. One of the most critical aspects of effi-
cient powder coating is a proper ground. All substrate
components must be grounded with a resistance to
ground not exceeding 1 megaohm. Ensure all contact
points are free of cured powder so ions have a clear
path to ground. Bad ground creates more rejects
due to light coating and inconsistency in coating
thickness.
• Powder particle size distribution. Smaller particles
can be difficult to fluidize and may not have enough
charge to attract to the part. Larger particles can lead
to thicker film builds and more orange peel. Control
particle size by consuming reclaim as fast as you
generate it and work with your powder vendor to
ensure consistent particle size distribution.
There are numerous variables that affect transfer
efficiency. Accurate and consistent adjustment of these
variables can provide high efficiency and consistent
measurement. If you have standard settings that work and
you see them drifting to higher flows and reduced transfer
efficiency, check the system closely for issues.
