Hardware Coating Line
Coating line designed around variety rather than volume — 10 to 25 minute colour change, dense multi-level racking and 95 to 98 percent powder utilisation.
Built for hand tools, fasteners, lighting hardware, brackets and small weldments running short jobs in many colours.
Technical Specifications

| Colour change | 10-25 minutes with quick colour-change booth |
| Colours on one line | 6-12 with cartridge module recovery |
| Powder utilisation | 95-98 percent with cyclone plus cartridge recovery |
| Film build | 50-80 microns typical, 250-400 h salt spray |
| Part spacing | 150-250 mm minimum, multi-level racking |
| Conveyor | Overhead chain, or power-and-free for mixed part families |
Line Configuration
- Five-stage pretreatment tunnel sized to the smallest part dwell time
- Quick colour-change booth with non-stick panels and automatic blow-down
- Cyclone plus cartridge recovery with reclaim sieving at 150-200 mesh
- Multi-level racks and swappable hooks on a universal carrier body
- Hook burn-off or strip station to hold earthing below 1 megohm
- Curing oven sized to the heaviest part, not the average
Application References
Hardware manufacturers and job-shop coaters running many short jobs across several colours, where changeover time governs capacity more than conveyor speed.
Engineering Commitment
Every line is engineered against a written performance specification. Line speed, cure profile, film build and emission level are stated in the contract and demonstrated on your own part at the factory trial run before shipment. One engineering team owns the whole chain — pretreatment, application, curing, conveying and emission control — so the trade-offs between them are settled on the drawing board, not on your factory floor.
Service & Delivery
Standard configurations ship in 30-60 days with 12-24 months warranty. On-site installation, commissioning and operator training are available worldwide, and process tuning and spare parts support continue for the working life of the line.
