Coating Line Equipment Manufacturer's Perspective: In-Depth Analysis and Solutions to Common Spraying Issues

Author:

Chuangzhi Coating


In the coating industry, spraying quality is one of the key indicators for measuring a product's appearance and performance. However, in actual production processes, issues such as uneven spraying, cratering, sagging, and others frequently occur, not only affecting the product's aesthetics but also potentially threatening its performance. As a coating line equipment manufacturer, we understand the importance of these issues to our customers. Therefore, this article will delve into these common problems and provide professional solutions.

I. Analysis of Uneven Spraying Issues

Uneven spraying is one of the most common problems in the coating process, mainly manifested as varying coating thickness and uneven color shades. This issue is primarily caused by the following factors:

 

1.Improper adjustment of spraying equipment: Unreasonable settings for spray gun pressure, atomization effect, and spraying distance, leading to uneven coating adhesion on the workpiece surface.
2.Unstable coating quality: Fluctuations in coating viscosity and solids content affect the spraying effect.
3.Incomplete workpiece surface pretreatment: Impurities such as oil and dust on the workpiece surface affect coating adhesion.
 

For uneven spraying issues, we recommend the following solutions:

Regularly maintain and calibrate spraying equipment to ensure reasonable parameter settings.
Choose coatings with stable quality and strictly control coating usage conditions.
Enhance workpiece surface pretreatment to ensure a clean, impurity-free surface.
 

II. Analysis of Cratering Issues

Cratering refers to small, round depressions on the coating surface, severely affecting the product's aesthetics. Cratering issues are primarily caused by the following factors:

 

1.Impurities in the coating: Such as oil and moisture, which can form bubbles during the coating process that burst and form craters.
2.Excessive humidity in the coating environment: When humidity is too high, the solvent evaporation rate in the coating slows down, easily forming bubbles and leading to cratering.
3.Improper substrate treatment: Oil, moisture, and other impurities on the substrate surface affect coating adhesion, resulting in cratering.
 

For cratering issues, we recommend the following solutions:

Use high-quality coatings and ensure they are thoroughly stirred and filtered before coating.
Control the humidity and temperature of the coating environment to avoid coating operations in excessively humid conditions.
Enhance substrate pretreatment to ensure a clean, oil- and moisture-free surface.

III. Analysis of Sagging Issues

Sagging refers to the coating flowing under gravity along the workpiece surface, forming an uneven coating. Sagging issues are primarily caused by the following factors:

 

1.Excessively low coating viscosity: Coatings with low viscosity are prone to sagging during spraying.
2.Spraying distance too close or spray gun movement speed too slow: Leading to excessive coating accumulation on the workpiece surface and sagging.
3.Complex workpiece shape: For workpieces with complex shapes, coatings are prone to accumulating in recesses during spraying, causing sagging.
 

For sagging issues, we recommend the following solutions:

Adjust the coating viscosity to ensure appropriate fluidity during spraying.
Control the spraying distance and spray gun movement speed to avoid excessive coating accumulation on the workpiece surface.
For workpieces with complex shapes, adopt multiple thin coats to reduce coating accumulation.
 

In summary, issues such as uneven spraying, cratering, sagging, and others are common challenges in the coating process. As a coating line equipment manufacturer, we are committed to providing customers with professional solutions to help them improve coating quality and efficiency. By regularly maintaining and calibrating spraying equipment, choosing coatings with stable quality, enhancing workpiece surface pretreatment, and controlling coating environment humidity and temperature, we can effectively avoid these issues. In the future, we will continue to deepen our coating technology expertise and provide customers with even more high-quality, efficient coating line equipment and services.
