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.
