Powder Coating Booth
Powder Coating - Deep clean
Safety
- Wear a dust mask. (If you do not have your own, disposable masks are available in the custodial room.)
- Wear safety glasses.
Clean the Filter
- Remove the fluffy filter off the wall of the booth, and the rigid filters from the rear of the machine.
- Take the filters outside.
- Clean the filters thoroughly with a vacuum.
Inspect the Cabinet
Check inside the ductwork/ventilation for blockage or gaps/holes and clear it out.
Inspect the tubing
Ensure the vinyl air pressure tubing has not swollen or started leaking - if it has, file a tool report.
Clean Shop Vac
- Roll the powder booth shop vac outside to the dumpster.
- Tap the filter against the inside wall of the dumpster to dislodge any caked on powder. If the filter looks excessively worn, file a purchase request for a replacement.
- Discard powder into the dumspter.
- Roll shop vac back to the powder coating area.
As a last step, reinstall the removed filters.
Powder Coating - Clean out hooks & wires
Task List
- Throw out any wire pieces that are excessively twisted/kinked and not useful for holding up parts.
- Sandblast any larger/stiff hooks that are fully coated in powder so they can better ground the parts that'll be hanging from them.
- Brush/vacuum around and inside the hooks/wires caddy to get rid of any loose powder.
