Power and Free Conveyor Systems | Industrial Coating Lines

Application  Power and Free Conveyor

Power and free conveyor systems are particularly advantageous in coating lines having multiple operations and varying durations of dwell. In the pretreatment areas, trolleys stop exactly for immersion, spraying or rinsing operations, thereby ensuring that all products receive the same pre-coating treatment.

The power and free conveyor systems in powder coating and liquid painting booths allow the ability to stop parts or to control their speed while spraying by manual or automatic means, thus enhancing the uniformity of coated surfaces and reducing coating material waste.

Through a series of adjusting conveyor speed and controlling the accumulation of trolleys in ovens, each part receives the precise time needed to cure during the curing process, regardless of the amount of difference between product sizing or thickness of coatings. Additionally, trolleys can be safely accumulated in cooling areas before discharge to prevent congestion from downstream areas.

Industries that rely on power and free conveyor systems include automotive parts, agricultural machinery, metal furniture, appliances, steel fabrication and general industrial components.
