Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for powder coating, which provide a uniform and strong coating film without any unevenness on works of complex configuration such as tube fitting of iron material, and a powder coat-applying apparatus for carrying out the same.
  • the present invention relates more particularly to an apparatus and a method for powder coating, which enhance the adhesion property of the coating film with respect to the works, thus improving the efficiency of coating operation by eliminating the degreasing step, and for improving the productivity thereof.
  • the surface of the coating is tend to be baked excessively and the adhering surface of the coating is tend to be baked short of the need so that the uneven coating may be formed.
  • the drying and baking process by irradiating the extreme infrared ray is time ⁇ consuming process. If it is intended to dry uniformly by irradiating the extreme infrared ray, the coat-applying device will inevitably be enlarged, so that the space and the cost required for establishing the apparatus are also increased substantially.
  • the degreasing process must be made before coating the works. Since in the case that the heat is adapted to be provided by irradiating the extreme infrared ray from the outside of the works, the contaminant such as grease interposed between the work and the coating will bring the short of adherence or the separation between the works and the coating film. It is thus reasonable to make degreasing operation on all works respectively. However, the degreasing operation is very cumbersome and is an obstacle to the increased efficiency of the coating process.
  • a hanger on which a plurality of the works is hanged is employed in the coating operation.
  • the coating material scattered around the hanger is adhered thereon, and strongly adhered thereon through the effect of heating operation. It has therefore been necessary to make an extra operation to peel off the adhered coating material from the hanger.

  • the hook can be connected to the hook-mounting bar by mounting the mounting-member of the hook on the bar at any selected vertically extending recess.
  • the hook can be held stably through the engagement of the mounting-member with the recess.
  • the hook can also be removed easily by pulling the mounting-member from the recess.
