Powder Coating

View our range of Interpon powder-coating colours and find out how to clean and maintain your Powder-coated Protector Aluminium product.

Protector Aluminium can powder coat all different styles of panels/gates. Whether it’s utilising our state of the art inline powder coating system or manual spray booth, we’ve got you covered.

The way the powder coating system works is with a continuously running chain on a type of railway track with an electrical current running through it. This chain constantly runs in an oval, starting in the hanging area moving through the automatic powder coating spray system.

As the panels are hung from the track it sends an electrical current through the panel this enables the powder coat to bind to the panel as it runs through the automatic powder coating spray system. All excess powder not used is sucked through a vacuum and recycled.

It then follows through a 13 meter long oven where it undergoes its curing process. As the panels are being cured the temperatures can reach up to 230 degrees Celsius.

From here the chain line runs another 10 meters for the cooling down of panels. Then the panels are removed and the whole process starts all over again.

The advantage of this system when running at full capacity it has the capability of processing 400 standard pool panels in approximately 8 hours.

Protector Aluminium has still retained its batching oven. This type of oven is ideal for the odd shaped and custom panels and gates that are often ordered. We are able to spray many different colours and cures them all at the same time in this oven.

When using this oven the spraying is applied manually with a water curtain running behind the panels being sprayed. The water curtain acts as a vacuum and sucks the powder overspray into the unit. The advantage to this style of oven is that continually recycles the water removing the excess powder and then the cycle repeats.

Utilising a similar rail system to the inline, the track then carries the panels into the batching oven where the panels are then cured at temperatures up to 230 degrees Celsius.

A very handy system that works great and hardly misses a beat.
