Custom powder coating,
the finishing touch.

A perfect part deserves a perfect finish, both for appearance and long term protection. Ernest-Spencer maintains an advanced powder coating and finishing facility in Ottawa, Kansas to give your products the finish they deserve. Proper finishing requires thorough surface preparation, and Ernest-spencer's powder coat facility includes both automated and manual washdown and media blasting capabilities. This ensures the optimum coating adhesion for long term finish performance.

AUTOMATED POWDER COAT LINE
WITH CHEMICAL WASH

Our advanced powder coat system, following a 750' linear conveyor, starts with a 5-stage stainless steel wash process
to chemically remove laser scale and to prepare the bare metal for optimum coating adhesion. Once the powder has been
applied in the spray enclosure, the parts move through a 25 minute convection oven bake cycle for typical curing, with an
additional 5 minute infrared "boost" for heavy plate material curing.

The powder coat is applied utilizing advanced Nordsen® SureCoatTM powder guns for even coverage. The quick-change
color system allows for color changeover in minutes as the automated production line remains in motion.

Utilizes zinc phosphate wash to inhibit rust
Additional Services: Masking, Thread Protection, Assembly, Packaging, Warehousing, Delivery

AUTOMATED BLAST SYSTEM

This 6-wheel automated blast system, fed by an overhead chain conveyor, utilizes steel shot media for blasting applications,
and can provide a near-white bare metal finish.

Maximum Part Size: 3' x 5' x 25'
Maximum Weight Capacity: 150 lbs./foot
Throughput Capacity: SSPC-6 @ 6' per minute; SSPC-10 @ 4' per minute
