Testing a DIY Powder Coating Gun
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лис 2020
- I have wanted to build a powder coating system for quite a while now. I have finally got around to giving it a go. I built the gun entirely out of scrap fittings and stuff due to be thrown out.
The power supplies are just cheap 12v to 15kv transformers out of China (They are about $12NZD delivered)

What a nice project! Keen to see how it’s going.
Thanks for watching! I will keep posting updates.
Well done - I am sure this develop into a great system.
I hope so, it seems to have potential. If I can make the electronics suite work reliably, I will look into making a more compact applicator.
Thanks for watching!
Nice work buddy!
Thanks!
And thank you for watching!
Years ago, I worked for a furniture manufacturer which had a large powdercoating line. It was a 2 stage, U-shaped, chain driven conveyer where the metal tables and chairs were hung from the conveyer and, in the 1st stage they were sprayed with powder, then they moved through to the 2nd stage where they were baked in a large oven.
If you could adapt that principle of doing the spraying and baking in the one location without having to move the work piece, you would considerably reduce the amount of applied powder which falls off and you would also reduce your handling (i.e. double-handling) over all. All it would take is a large enough oven (insulated cabinet) that you could first spray in, before baking.

I would love the space to be able to do a semi automated setup. For the amount of work I do, it is nor really necessary.
and I am glad to see you opening a powder coating business, brother
Just getting started brother,
I am going to buy a good gun so I have something to test my home built set up against, but early results are looking promising
@@ArmouryEnterprises i suggest for you..use powder coating system portable..and homemade oven
Nice one Josh I've had my gun for about ten years now its only a Chicago electric Chinese gun iam using are old kitchen cooker at the moment I've always wanted to build a big oven to do like motorcycle frames but never got round too it but I've done plenty of small parts on my bike plus I've just got a zinc plateing kit but yes nice one with your home made gun buddy stay safe nice to seeyou back mate
Hey Buddy!
Nice to hear from you.
Yes one of my future projects is a larger oven. Its probably still a bit small for a bike frame, but if I can find the space I want to build one large enough to powder coat my vapour blasting cabinet frames.
Hope you and your family are well!
@@ArmouryEnterprises cheers buddy
@@ArmouryEnterprisesI've blown mine otherday I forgot to plug it in the 120v yellow transformer plugd it in the 240v. Iam haveing a hard time finding the little PCB board transformer to replace it lucky the 120v 60Hz static ark generator still working I plugged the big yellow transformer directly to test it. I just need the little 230v /12v I think it like switch's the RU 12v relay to control the foot pedal switch & to keep the opparator safe while using it. i just can't find this little split bobbin laminated transformer it's only about 25mm .if you Google this number shv-115-07 then go to the images it'll show you what my circuit board looks like problem is this person showing the picture he doesn't have a transformer on he's board just wish I could send pictures to see if yano.where to get one from or some alternative one Google that code & have a look josh the transformer would go where it says T1 on the little PCB board he holding you'll also see a static ark source generator in the pictures he's soldier wires straight across where the transformer would be just Google that part code & see if you no where to get one & let me no
Hi there I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again New Zealand needs more people like you . I have been looking at the Eastwood powder gun and other you tubers modifying them so when you have a finished product you are happy with I would like to buy one please.
Hey mate!
Thanks!
Sure thing! My email is in the description, send me a message so I have your contact details and can keep you posted of progress.
Thanks for watching!
I can't figure out if you were a plumber or a fabricator 🤔 love the videos. Kiwi as!
Trick answer haha, actually more a mechanic I guess I would say. Kind of the average kiwi jack of all trades. Been a mechanic, truck driver/crane operator, got a law degree, now doing part time as a welder and the rest of my time is spent building vapour blasting systems.
Nice..do you have a vid or plans on how you built the gun?
Shouldn't your earth go to the item your powder coating?
Hey mate, yes the part being coated is earthed through the electrostatic circuit. The metal gun is also earthed through the ground pin on the wall socket. It stops the used from getting a shock from the electrostatic gun.
Thanks for watching!
