Stripping rejected powder coatings. How to quote parts for rework
A powder coater has a batch set aside after inspection.
SodaBlast Systems · SBS SYSTEM
In short
A powder coater has a batch set aside after inspection. For a blasting contractor the commercial question is precise. What will it cost to return each part in a condition the plant can put back on its line?
What to settle on a rejected part
Ask for a part with typical geometry and coating thickness. With the technician, mark the visible face, an edge, a hole and a mating surface. Compare soda and crushed glass on areas where the plant accepts both media. Inspect the stripped edges and surface profile.
When can you quote the rest of the batch?
Put the sample through the plant’s actual pretreatment and recoating cycle. Once the finish is accepted, add stripping, handling and inspection time. Discuss whether to accumulate parts for one mobile SB-500 Trailer visit or collect smaller batches at regular intervals.
