Powder coating system tribo PCS12 Pro

Our range has been expanded with a new tribo powder coating system.
Getting acquainted with do it yourself tribo powder coating inexpensively is now possible at a professional level.

Properties:

1. Construction and materials are of high quality. Components not made of plastic, but are machined from 1 aluminum block CNC in Europe.
2. Powder containers are 1/2 L Sufficient to powder coat several parts yourself.
3. Cleaning a powder coating gun is faster and easier and can be completely disassembled.
4. All parts are available separately.

Features:

1. This powder coat gun is designed to powder coat wheels, frames, calipers, brackets and other metal workpieces. But you can also provide statues, jewelry, home garden and kitchen items with your own color design.
2. Tribo powder coating gun is very robust and reliable because it does not use any electrical components. This powder coat gun will last for years.
3. You do not need an electrical transformer or electrical supply. This gun will work anywhere in the world with a proper ground plug adapter.
4. Spare containers for powder are available. Keep all the powder in its own container so that you don't have to clean your container every time between colors.
5. All spare parts are available from us. Send us an email if you need a spare part. or order in the shop.

How to use:

1. Remove all old paint and degrease a workpiece that you are going to powder coat.
2. Connect an air compressor (2 hp engine / 24 liter reservoir recommended) to the powder paint gun. powder coat the workpiece with powder in a color of your choice.
3. Heat the workpiece in an oven according to the powder schedule stated on the package, usually anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes at 170 to 200 ° C / 360 to 392 ° F.
4. The workpiece can be used and assembled once it has cooled to room temperature.

How Tribo powder coating system works:
Powders are electrostatically charged as they rub between a wavy Teflon tube in the nozzle of the gun. This creates a static charge just like when you rub your hair with a balloon. Then the powder sticks to a grounded workpiece. Powder adheres firmly even when your workpiece is shaken vigorously. As soon as the workpiece is heated to the temperature and time that apply to the powder used, curing will take place.

This Tribo process is different from a corona process in which powder is loaded by a high voltage transformer up to 100 kilovolts.
Due to this extremely high voltage, positive and negatively charged particles (powder) are attracted and powder is attracted to a workpiece.

Advantages and disadvantages between Tribot and Corona powder coating guns

corona
+ Any kind and quality of powder can be used.
+ Can be set more precisely to layer thickness, which makes spraying especially cheaper in mass production.
- High voltage risk of arcing if used incorrectly.
- Not suitable for people with pacemakers or hypersensitivity to voltage fields.
Tribo:
+ Less problems with coating in small corners and shielded areas due to the Faraday cage effect.
+ Tribo powder coating is safer due to the absence of such a high voltage.
+ More layers of build-up possible than with corona system because the powder is not dependent on built-up static charge.
+ Also suitable for less / poorly or even non-conductive materials glass, plastic, wood and ceramics.
- Risk of clumping and clogging due to reduced quality of powder, metallic and structured powders.
- Requires more testing and experience than a corona system.

Why powder coating is better than liquid paint:

1. Almost no volatile organic compounds are released.
2. Powder coating is very easy to apply and requires no special skills and various pre-treatment in the form of sanding and fine filling.
3. Scratches are automatically removed by the powder coating.
4. Powder coating can be used as a one-coat treatment.
5. Too thick layer of powder coating does not run off.
6. No chance of sagging and dripping as with a liquid coating.
7. Powder coating is much more resistant to wear and tear, solvents and various chemicals.
8. Problems with bird droppings stains in car paint do not have powder coating.
9. Powder that ended up next to work can be collected and in most cases reused after filtering. (depending on powder type)
10. Powder coating does not require any facilities to dry parts for extended periods of time.
