Tools of the Trade
An interactive discussion of tools used in powder coating and when and where the right time to use them is. A look a manual powder unit, automatic powder guns, powder bells, and even fluidity testers. We will review the tools and where they excel and then look at some parts together and determine which products would work the best.

The Importance of Proper Inspection Lighting on the Quality of Product Finishing
This presentation will focus on the importance of proper inspection lighting as a part of the overall finishing system. Quality assurance involves a consistent process of measuring coating against the standards established. Proper use of inspection areas can reduce quality defects and lower system operational costs by eliminating rejects. Inspection areas require adequate lighting to achieve this. We will focus on available technologies for use in this application. This will include specifics of ease of operation, cost of operation and implementation of available technologies both in new systems and integration into existing systems.
