Types of coating techniques

1. Vaccum coating

2. Electrostatic coating.

3.Compression coating.

4. Magnetically induced coating.

 Vaccum coating
The product passes through the portion
of the coater known as the application
chamber at a constant speed of up to
500' per minute.

Paint is drawn from a reservoir by a

diaphragm pump, filtered for large
particles, and delivered through a hole
into the bottom of the coater head. The
level of the coating then rises within the
head until the part passing through is
completely surrounded or immersed.

A vacuum is applied to the reservoir and the application

chamber.
 The reservoir is a sealed environment attached to the coating
head.
The coating head contains the only area for air to inrush and
that is the space between the product and the template profile.
It is this inrush of air that is used to strip excess coating from
the product.
 This application and removal method stratifies the coating on
removal and then it is drawn up and over a baffle and drains
to the reservoir.
 Electrostatic coating

 It is a manufacturing process
that employs charged particles
to more efficiently paint a
workpiece. Paint, in the form
of either powdered particles or
atomized liquid, is initially
projected towards a conductive
workpiece using normal
spraying methods, and is then
accelerated toward the
workpiece by a powerful
electrostatic charge.

The workpiece travels down a conveyor belt towards to a

paint booth, where it is sprayed with electrostatically
charged paint particles.

Integrated into the paint booth is a powder recovery unit,

which recovers between 95% and 100% of the paint over-
spray coatings.

After the workpiece is coated, it continues on the

conveyor belt to an oven, where the paint is cured.
 Compression coating

It involves the compaction of granular

materials around a preformed tablet core
using specially designed tableting
equipment.
Compression coating is a dry process.

This type of tablet (compression coated

tablet) has two parts, internal core and
surrounding coat. The core is small porous
tablet and prepared on one turret. For
preparing final tablet, a bigger die cavity
in another turret is used in which first the
coat material is filled to half and then core
tablet is mechanically transferred, again
the remaining space is filled with coat
material and finally compression force is
applied.
 Magnetically induced coating

 Nickel zinc ferrite nanoparticles in the size range of 30–40 nm

have been prepared.
 Coated with polyelectrolyte, the particles were induced to assemble
on glass substrates under strong magnetic fields from 0.25 to 0.5 T.
 The predominant orientation of the assembled chains was observed
to be along the direction of the magnetic line of force.
 As the coating layers increased, ring morphology could be
observed.
 The magnetic properties of the assembled structures were measured
and compared to those of ferrite particles prepared without a
magnetic field applied.
