[0011] Referring to FIG. 1, with respect to second step 102, the powder coating premix may be extruded in a twin screw extruder, where the powder coating premix may be melted and different ingredients may be dispersed within the resin using shear force of the screws. For example, in an implementation, the first mixture may be extruded in a twin screw extruder with two co-rotating and intermeshing screws that may help improve the dispersion of other ingredients in the resin as the resin melts.
[0012] FIG. 2 illustrates a twin screw extruder 200, according to one exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Twin screw extruder 200 may include a tube or barrel within which a pair of screw shafts (only screw shaft 204 is visible in FIG. 2) are fitted with a number of different screw elements. The extruder 200 may further include a number of thermal sections 201, 202, and 203 which are disposed axially one after the other. The screw shafts are driven by a driving mechanism 205 that may include a gearbox and a motor. FIG. 3 illustrates the screw shaft 204 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Screw shaft 204 may at least include a conveying screw section 301 and a kneading section 302. Kneading section 302 may include a number of kneading discs. FIG. 4 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of a kneading disc 400 that may include a central cylindrical region 401 defining a bore that has splines 402 for mounting the kneading disk 400 on the screw shaft 204 (labeled in FIGs. 2 and 3) and the screw shaft 204 may have corresponding splines so that the kneading disc 400 does not rotate relative to the screw shaft 204 but with the screw shaft 204.
[0013] Referring to FIG. 3, in one implementation, each kneading disc in the kneading section 302 may be mounted on the screw shaft 204 by a relative 300 offset rotation from one kneading disc to the next. FIG. 5 illustrates a front view schematic representation of the two side by side screw shafts 204 and 204' fitted inside a barrel or tube 501 of the extruder, which are intermeshing and co-rotating. In an example, the arrangement of the kneading discs on each screw shaft may be such that the kneading discs on screw shaft 204 are at a 90 orientation to the kneading discs on screw shaft 204'.
[0014] With further reference to FIGs. 2 and 3, in an implementation, thermal section 201 may function as a feeding zone and the powder coating premix may be fed into the thermal section 201. The conveying screw section 301 of each of the two side by side screw shafts is placed inside thermal section 201. In an example, thermal section 201 may have a temperature of approximately 80 C. The powder coating premix may be partially melted in thermal section 201 and it may be conveyed by the conveying screws to thermal section 202 that may function as a melting zone. Thermal section 202 may have a temperature of approximately 110 C and it encompasses a part of the kneading section 302 of each screw shaft. In thermal section 202, the powder coating premix is melted and kneaded by the kneading discs of the two side by side screw shafts and the molten coating premix is pushed toward thermal zone 203 that functions as a distribution zone. The molten premix is further kneaded in thermal section 203. Thermal section 203 may have a temperature of approximately 80 C. The extruded molten premix which is referred to hereinafter as powder coating precursor may then be discharged from the extruder.
[0015] Referring back to FIG. 1, once the powder coating premix is extruded in the twin extruder, the powder coating precursor may proceed to third step 103 of method 100, where the powder coating precursor may be cooled. In an example, the powder coating precursor may be fed to a cool roller where the precursor is cooled and formed into a thin film.
[0016] With respect to the fourth step 104, cooled powder coating precursor may then be flaked to obtain powder coating precursor flakes. Flaked precursor may then proceed to fifth step 105, where the flakes are ground into a fine powder coating in a grinder in order to obtain the anti-corrosive powder coating pursuant to the teachings of the present disclosure.
[0017] FIG. 6 illustrates a schematic representation of a manufacturing system 600 that may be configured as an implementation of method 100 of FIG. 1. Referring to FIG.
6, system 600 may include a pre-mixing unit 601, where the powder coating premix may be prepared by weighing individual ingredients into a blender 602. In an example, the blender 602 may be a tumbling mixer that may be utilized for dry-mixing the polymer resin, the curing agent, the pigment, the filler, the ZnO nanoparticles, the SiO2nanoparticles, and optionally the degassing agent in order to obtain the powder coating premix. The powder coating premix may then be fed into an extrusion unit 603 that may be, in an exemplary embodiment, a twin screw extruder 200 as was described in more detail in connection with FIGs. 2 to 5. The powder coating premix undergoes melt mixing in the extruder and all ingredients, especially the anti-corrosive agents may be thoroughly dispersed into the resin. Once the powder coating premix is extruded, a molten premix or the powder coating precursor is obtained. The powder coating precursor may then be discharged through the extruder die into a cool rolling unit 604, where the precursor is passed through two cooled rollers to make a thin sheet. The thin sheet is then passed via a conveyor belt 605 into a flaking unit 606, where the brittle sheet is broken into flakes. The flakes are then ground in a fine grinding unit 607 into a fine powder coating.

FIG. 5 illustrates a front view schematic representation of the two side by side screw shafts 204 and 204' fitted inside a barrel or tube 501 of the extruder, which are intermeshing and co-rotating. In an example, the arrangement of the kneading discs on each screw shaft may be such that the kneading discs on screw shaft 204 are at a 90 orientation to the kneading discs on screw shaft 204'.
[0014] With further reference to FIGs. 2 and 3, in an implementation, thermal section 201 may function as a feeding zone and the powder coating premix may be fed into the thermal section 201. The conveying screw section 301 of each of the two side by side screw shafts is placed inside thermal section 201. In an example, thermal section 201 may have a temperature of approximately 80 C. The powder coating premix may be partially melted in thermal section 201 and it may be conveyed by the conveying screws to thermal section 202 that may function as a melting zone. Thermal section 202 may have a temperature of approximately 110 C and it encompasses a part of the kneading section 302 of each screw shaft. In thermal section 202, the powder coating premix is melted and kneaded by the kneading discs of the two side by side screw shafts and the molten coating premix is pushed toward thermal zone 203 that functions as a distribution zone. The molten premix is further kneaded in thermal section 203. Thermal section 203 may have a temperature of approximately 80 C. The extruded molten premix which is referred to hereinafter as powder coating precursor may then be discharged from the extruder.
[0015] Referring back to FIG. 1, once the powder coating premix is extruded in the twin extruder, the powder coating precursor may proceed to third step 103 of method 100, where the powder coating precursor may be cooled. In an example, the powder coating precursor may be fed to a cool roller where the precursor is cooled and formed into a thin film.
[0016] With respect to the fourth step 104, cooled powder coating precursor may then be flaked to obtain powder coating precursor flakes. Flaked precursor may then proceed to fifth step 105, where the flakes are ground into a fine powder coating in a grinder in order to obtain the anti-corrosive powder coating pursuant to the teachings of the present disclosure.
[0017] FIG. 6 illustrates a schematic representation of a manufacturing system 600 that may be configured as an implementation of method 100 of FIG. 1. Referring to FIG.
6, system 600 may include a pre-mixing unit 601, where the powder coating premix may be prepared by weighing individual ingredients into a blender 602. In an example, the blender 602 may be a tumbling mixer that may be utilized for dry-mixing the polymer resin, the curing agent, the pigment, the filler, the ZnO nanoparticles, the SiO2nanoparticles, and optionally the degassing agent in order to obtain the powder coating premix. The powder coating premix may then be fed into an extrusion unit 603 that may be, in an exemplary embodiment, a twin screw extruder 200 as was described in more detail in connection with FIGs. 2 to 5. The powder coating premix undergoes melt mixing in the extruder and all ingredients, especially the anti-corrosive agents may be thoroughly dispersed into the resin. Once the powder coating premix is extruded, a molten premix or the powder coating precursor is obtained. The powder coating precursor may then be discharged through the extruder die into a cool rolling unit 604, where the precursor is passed through two cooled rollers to make a thin sheet. The thin sheet is then passed via a conveyor belt 605 into a flaking unit 606, where the brittle sheet is broken into flakes. The flakes are then ground in a fine grinding unit 607 into a fine powder coating.
