Technical Description of the Implementation
Laser Kraft Steel Enters the World of Automated Powder Coating with Industry 4.0 Standards
For years, Laser Kraft Steel s.r.o.Laser Kraft Steel s.r.o. focused primarily on metal production and laser processing. Looking to expand their capabilities, they turned to us in search of the best powder coating technology to meet their needs. The result of our cooperation is a fully automated coating line with a five-stage chemical pre-treatment. Built to Industry 4.0 standards, the line not only enables complete series coating but also introduces smart production control and data collection through the integrated ESCO control system. This new automated coating solution is therefore an excellent choice for a newcomer to the surface finishing industry. What additional benefits does the line provide?
Chemical Pre-treatment with Passivation for Maximum Durability
A flawless powder coating finish starts with proper surface preparation. That’s why the line is equipped with a five-stage spray pre-treatment and a Nebula passivation system with misting frame. This combination ensures higher corrosion resistance and greater versatility – the company can handle both standard orders and projects requiring long-term durability. The line’s water management system is equipped with a wastewater treatment plant, a neutralisation station, and a demineralised water unit, guaranteeing consistent pre-treatment quality while remaining environmentally responsible.
Automated Coating with Manual Touch-Up Capability
At the heart of the line is automated coating in a modern booth with Nordson Encore application technology. The automated process ensures consistent application of powder coatings, even on large production runs, and delivers high efficiency. For complex parts, the booth is complemented by a manual touch-up station with a Nordson Encore LT powder spray system. Thanks to this combination, customers can be confident every product receives a perfect finish – even in hard-to-reach areas.
Powder Recycling and Energy-Efficient Operation Thanks to ESCO
The line includes a powder recycling system, minimising powder consumption and reducing operating costs. Residual heat from the curing oven is used to heat the drying oven, saving additional energy. The entire line is controlled by the ESCO control system, which continuously monitors temperatures, processes, and water management, providing operators with all essential information in one place. If an issue is detected, the system immediately alerts the staff. These solutions make the new coating facility not only reliable but also economically sustainable and environmentally friendly – a modern powder coating technology fully aligned with Industry 4.0 principles.
