Case Study/Video: The Importance of Powder Recovery Systems in Powder Coating Installations
Andrew Byrne, Sales Account Manager (Leinster Paint & Equipment Division):
“Here we have an example of the type of project we like to take on at Carbon Group. This project was accomplished with our customer Dunboyne Powder Coating in collaboration with Gema UK & Ireland.
Completed in October 2024, this bespoke booth, with box-to-box powder recovery, is a fantastic set up for a business with a high volume of colours and an eye for optimising their powder use.
The average powder coating set up will lose up to 60% of the powder they pay for without recovering powder. When you recover your powder, you can reduce your powder loss to as low as 15% to 10%!
That’s an incredible saving on what is the one of the largest costs for a powder coating business. As well as offering powder recovery, this booth has:
- an increased work envelope
- two integrated manual Optiflex Pro B powder guns
- an open form booth to maximise operator reach for complex parts.
If you’d like to explore a powder coating solution for your business, I’m available to discuss them with you via call (tel: +353 85 875 8074), email or an on site visit (usually best). Any of the Carbon Group Paint Division team can also assist you with such projects”.
