It is easy to search for general concepts about fluidized bed powder coating on the internet. There is enough information out there to figure out ways to get started on your own. For the most part, this type of powder coating can be very forgiving and easy to accomplish.
However, there is a significant difference between an ad hoc DIY fluid bed coater and a professional fluid bed coating organization that can reliably produce thousands, or millions, of high-quality parts per year.

Automated Fluid Bed Powder Coating Systems
Automated Fluid Bed Powder Coating Systems
Automated fluid bed powder coating systems can be difficult to develop. There are myriad variations to the part & product mix. There are many confusing & conflicting dynamics to consider. We've been there ... as this obscure & brief video shows. Contact Larea Corp & we will help walk you through your ideas. We will either make it feasible, or we will point you in the right direction towards working solutions.

Fluid Bed Powder Coating is an important part of the full breadth of important powder coated products that we so often take for granted in our daily lives.
Larea Corp. has over a decade of successfully revitalizing energy & proven technical knowledge in this specific & important niche.
No dip tank is too big or too small for us. Importantly ..... for businesses that are striving towards providing high quality functional or cosmetic coatings of this nature ... Larea Corp. can confidently eliminate concerns over the coating application step of the process.
Electrostatic Fluid Bed Powder Coating ...is not the same as Fluid Bed Powder Coating
Electrostatic Fluid Bed Powder Coating ...is not the same as Fluid Bed Powder Coating
As the title implies ... Electrostatic Fluid Bed Powder Coating (ESFB) is not the same thing as Fluid Bed Powder Coating. Fluid bed powder coating is an immersion coating process where the part is preheated & the hot part is immersed in the fluid bed so that the powder melts/gels to the hot part. Thus ... the true specific distinction of IMMERSION FLUID BED (IFB) Coating for that process. IFB coating is a dip coating process.
Electrostatic Fluid Bed Powder Coating (ESFB) is very much like standard spray gun electrostatic powder coating. A cold part is presented to the ESFB whereby the charged particles of powder cling to the cold part.
Parts like motor stators & rotors, with small complex geometry, present practical challenges to accomplishing powder to substrate physical contact.
Thus, the difference between ESFB & IFB coating is an important distinction worthy of discussion. Small stators can actually be dip coated, but time & labor analysis of that way of doing things often reveals investment that could be moving in the wrong direction.
