AUTOMATION OF POWDER COATING LINE

Abstract

The main goal of this work is to improve the quality of powder coating of products by implementing effective control and regulation of the painting process. The relevance of the study is due to the need to increase the economic efficiency and environmental safety of painting technologies in industrial conditions. In the course of this study, a description and detailed analysis of the existing technology for applying powder paints and equipment used at LLC "High Voltage Union - RZVA" was carried out. A systematic analysis of the automation facility was carried out, on the basis of which key problems affecting the quality of the final product were identified. Technical requirements for the automation of the painting process were formulated, modern technical means for automation were selected and a functional scheme was developed that ensures control and stability of the powder paint application process. Special attention was paid to the creation of software that allows you to integrate controlled parameters into the technological process with maximum accuracy and minimal human factor influence. The described technology for applying powder paint is environmentally friendly and waste-free. The process of forming a polymer coating involves spraying polymer powder onto the surface of the product and subsequent polymerization in a thermal oven at a given temperature. This approach allows you to obtain high-quality protective and decorative coatings that are resistant to external influences. The results of this work are of practical importance for improving the technology of applying powder coatings, improving product quality and the competitiveness of the enterprise in the market. The implemented automation solutions also contribute to reducing energy costs and minimizing the impact of the human factor.
