Detailed Process Flow
The process begins with the entry of cold-rolled steel coils from dual unwinders, which are automatically spliced together to form a continuous strip. This strip is guided through a vertical looper that maintains consistent tension throughout the operation. Surface preparation follows with a combination of high-pressure spray and mechanical brushing to remove oils, dust, and contaminants—an essential step for enhancing coating adhesion. A chemical coater then applies a phosphate or chromate conversion layer, which improves corrosion resistance. Afterward, vertical drying ensures complete solvent evaporation before primer application. The strip moves into the first horizontal furnace for initial curing, followed by topcoat application and a second heating cycle for full polymerization. Throughout this sequence, advanced sensors monitor temperature, speed, and thickness to maintain product consistency. Finally, an automated inspection station checks for defects such as orange peel, pinholes, or uneven gloss, ensuring only premium-quality sheets proceed to coil winding.
Ideal Applications
This fully automated coil coating system is widely used in the fabrication of color-coated steel panels for roofing, wall cladding, HVAC ductwork, kitchen appliances, and exterior building components. Its ability to handle various base metals—including galvanized, pre-painted, or aluminum substrates—makes it adaptable across multiple industries seeking durable, aesthetically pleasing finishes without compromising productivity or environmental compliance.
