Oven curing is a critical step in the
production of powder coatings, curing the powder coating applied to the surface
of the workpiece into a hard, durable film that improves the appearance and
durability of the workpiece. During oven curing, the transfer rate of the
workpiece has a significant impact on curing time and yield. This article will
describe the method and importance of determining the transfer rate and
throughput per day based on oven cure time to help companies better control
their production process and improve productivity and product quality.
Oven curing time is an important factor in
the speed of transfer and throughput per day. If the transfer speed is too
fast, incomplete curing will affect the quality of the coating and cause
production losses; if the transfer speed is too slow, production efficiency
will be reduced and yield will be affected. It is therefore very important to
determine the transfer speed and throughput per day of work based on the oven
curing time.
The method of determining transfer rate and
throughput per day can be divided into the following steps:
Before determining transfer rates and
throughputs per day, the oven cure time needs to be determined. This can be
done through laboratory tests, actual production on site etc.
Once the oven cure time has been determined, the transfer time required for each workpiece can be calculated to determine the transfer speed of the workpiece.
The transfer speed is calculated as:
Transfer Speed = Oven Length / (Oven Cure Time + Conveyor Dwell Time)
Once the transfer speed of the workpiece has been determined, the daily production rate can be calculated based on the production time and transfer speed.
The formula for calculating throughput per day is:
Throughput per day = Production time / (oven curing time + conveyor dwell time) x Transfer volume per hour.
The importance of determining transfer
speed and throughput per day is reflected in the following:
Determining the transfer speed and the
daily output of the workpiece according to the oven curing time will help the
company to better control the production process and improve productivity. By
adjusting the transfer rate, you can maximise the use of the oven and the
efficiency of your production.
Determining conveyor speed and throughput
per day can also reduce production costs. By accurately controlling conveyor
speeds and planning daily output, companies can reduce man-hours and labour
costs and increase production efficiency and output.
Determining transfer speed and throughput
per day can also improve product quality. Accurate transfer speed control and
throughput planning can ensure that the coating is fully cured in the oven,
thus improving the appearance and durability of the product.
Determining transfer speeds and throughput
per day can also improve customer satisfaction. By improving production
efficiency and product quality, companies can better meet customer needs and
increase customer satisfaction and reputation.
Determining the transfer speed and throughput per day for a part based on oven curing time is a critical step in the production of powder coatings. Through reasonable control of transfer speed and single day production planning, companies can improve production efficiency, reduce production costs and improve product quality and customer satisfaction.
Therefore, companies should pay attention to this aspect and take
effective measures to improve production efficiency and product quality.
