- Booth Technology: Automated/Manual Back-to-Back Inline Powder Coating Booth equipped with reciprocators and mono-cyclone powder recovery system for clean, efficient operations and minimal downtime during color changeovers.
- Powder Curing Oven: Ground-mounted, LPG-fired, straight oven with a “U” loop conveyor path and curing temperature of 200-220°C for 18 minutes. It features robust insulated cassette construction, ensuring thermal efficiency and adaptability for future scaling.
- Environmentally Responsible: Equipped with pulse-jet type after filters, our plant ensures 100% pollution control and recovers over-sprayed powder for optimal material utilization.
- Material Handling: Natural cooling zones and dedicated loading/unloading areas enhance throughput without compromising quality.
Our powder coating chamber and oven systems are modular, easy to maintain, and calibrated using advanced TTR systems to ensure precision performance. The entire setup enables FTI Manufacturing to deliver consistent finish quality, excellent adhesion, and long-lasting performance on M.S. (Mild Steel) components, all while reducing lead times and operating costs.
By maintaining complete control over the metal finishing process, FTI Manufacturing ensures faster project execution, streamlined supply chains, and zero compromise on coating durability or appearance. Whether you’re developing new products or refining existing ones, FTI Manufacturing’s powder coating capabilities are built to deliver on performance, scalability, and quality, every time.
Powder Coating Features
Powder Coating Advantages at FTI Manufacturing
FTI Manufacturing’s advanced powder coating system offers a seamless, high-performance finish that enhances both the durability and appearance of metal components. Our conveyorised line and precision-controlled curing process ensure consistent results across every batch.
Uniform & Consistent Finish
Electrostatic application and controlled curing result in a smooth, even coating without drips, sags, or inconsistencies.
Excellent Chip & Abrasion Resistance
The cured finish forms a strong, durable layer that resists chipping and surface damage, even under rigorous industrial use.
Corrosion & Rust Resistance
Powder-coated surfaces provide a reliable barrier against moisture and chemicals, extending the life of mild steel components.
Environmentally Friendly Process
With efficient powder recovery and zero VOC emissions, our process is clean, sustainable, and contributes to a lower carbon footprint.
Efficient Turnaround & Cost-Effective
High-speed conveyor movement and in-house curing eliminate external dependencies, reducing lead time and additional handling costs.
Our Powder Coating Process
FTI Manufacturing’s in-house powder coating process is designed for efficiency, durability, and quality. As a robust alternative to traditional liquid painting methods, our conveyorised system ensures a streamlined and consistent finish across every component.
Application
Components are electrostatically coated using fine, dry powder particles, comprising resin and pigment, sprayed via advanced applicators. The electrostatic charge ensures strong adhesion to the metal surface.
Coating Booth
The components pass through an automated back-to-back powder coating booth, equipped with reciprocators for uniform automatic coating from both sides. Manual touch-ups ensure detail precision. Overspray is minimized and recovered using a mono-cyclone powder recovery system with pulse-jet after filters.
Curing
Coated components enter a ground-mounted curing oven with a U-loop conveyor system. Heated using an LPG-fired burner and stainless-steel heat exchanger, the oven maintains a stable temperature of 200–220°C, curing the product for 18 minutes to achieve a tough and uniform finish.
Cooling & Unloading
Post-curing, parts naturally cool on the overhead conveyor before being unloaded, ready for the next phase or shipment.
Health & Safety Benefits of Powder Coating
FTI Manufacturing’s powder coating process offers a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable finishing solution compared to traditional liquid painting. One of the key advantages is the elimination of harmful Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), commonly found in solvent-based paints. Our dry powder formulation ensures that there are no hazardous emissions during application, aligning with environmental regulations and promoting a safer workplace for operators.
Additionally, powder coating provides excellent coverage on components with complex geometries or intricate profiles, where liquid paint may struggle to achieve uniformity. The enclosed, ductless booth design with advanced powder recovery systems minimizes airborne particles and supports efficient cleanup and color changes, reducing waste and improving operational hygiene.
By integrating this eco-conscious process within our in-house, conveyorised coating line, FTI offers complete process control, reduced handling, and consistent finish quality, all while lowering our carbon footprint and supporting the health and safety of our team and the environment.
