Electrolysis and Voltage Regulation Electrophoretic Coating Equipment for Stable Coating Process

Equipment Description:

I. Working Principle
‌1. Electric field driven deposition‌
Anodic electrophoretic coating (such as modified epoxy resin) is dissolved in water and ionized into negatively charged resin particles (RCOO⁻) and positively charged neutralizer ions (such as NH₄⁺).
The workpiece is connected to a DC power supply as an anode, and the negatively charged coating particles move to the anode under the action of the electric field and deposit to form a dense paint film.
The deposition process is accompanied by an electrolytic reaction: water is electrolyzed to generate H⁺ and O₂, and H⁺ enters the anode liquid through the anode membrane to avoid contaminating the tank liquid.

‌2. Core reaction process‌
‌Electrophoresis‌: charged particles migrate in a directional manner in an electric field.
‌Electrodeposition‌: resin and pigment precipitate to form a film on the anode surface.
‌Electroosmosis‌: the deposited layer is dehydrated to enhance the density of the paint film.
‌Electrolysis‌: water electrolysis produces gas, which needs to be discharged through the circulation system.

‌3. Key points of process control‌
‌Voltage regulation‌: DC voltage is adjustable from 50-300V, and the film thickness increases with the increase of voltage (10-30μm).
‌Temperature control‌: The bath temperature is 20-30℃ to prevent thermal decomposition of resin and sagging of paint film.
‌Conductivity management‌: Bath conductivity is <1000μS/cm, and the conductivity of the anode liquid is regularly tested and diluted.
2. Technical advantages
‌High coverage‌: The electric field drives the coating to cover the complex workpiece cavity/gap, and the uniformity error is <5%.
‌Environmental protection and energy saving‌: VOC emissions are only 1/5 of traditional spraying, and the coating utilization rate is >90%.
‌Low cost‌: Equipment investment is 30% lower than that of cathode electrophoresis, and maintenance costs are reduced by 50%.
3. Key points of maintenance
‌Anode membrane inspection‌: The anode liquid is turbid and needs to be shut down for maintenance to prevent the membrane from rupturing and contaminating the bath liquid. ‌Bath parameter monitoring‌: Regularly test pH value, conductivity and Fe²⁺/Zn²⁺ concentration to avoid coating pinhole defects.
‌Ultrafiltration system maintenance‌: Regularly backwash the membrane assembly to prevent clogging and reduce water permeability.

Main structures and components:

I. Core structure
‌1. Pretreatment system‌
‌Degreasing tank‌: Use alkaline solution (such as NaOH) to remove grease from the surface of the workpiece, and the treatment temperature is 60℃.
‌Phosphating tank‌: Zinc salt phosphating treatment forms a 1-2μm phosphating film to enhance the adhesion of the coating.
‌Multi-stage water washing unit‌: Remove residual chemical reagents by pure water spraying/immersion, and the conductivity is controlled to be <10μS/cm.
‌2. Electrophoresis tank‌
‌Material‌: PP or PVC lined anti-corrosion tank body, the volume is designed according to the production capacity (10-50m³).
‌Temperature control‌: Maintain the tank liquid temperature at 20-30℃ (±1℃) to prevent thermal decomposition of the resin.
‌Circulating filtration system‌: Equipped with a circulating pump (flow rate 6-8 times/hour) and a 50μm filter bag to prevent impurity deposition.
‌3. Anode system‌
‌Anode tube/anode cover‌: Titanium metal electrode combined with semipermeable membrane (such as canvas material), allowing H⁺ to pass but blocking resin particles to prevent anode oxidation products from contaminating the tank liquid.
‌Anode liquid circulation‌: Independent liquid storage tank and circulation pump control the conductivity of the anode liquid <1000μS/cm, and regularly replace pure water and acid.
‌4. Power supply system‌
‌DC rectifier‌: The output voltage is adjustable from 50-300V, and supports constant voltage/constant current mode switching.
‌Plate layout‌: Multiple groups of anodes are arranged on both sides and the bottom of the tank to optimize the uniformity of the electric field distribution.
5.‌Ultrafiltration system (UF)‌
‌Ultrafiltration membrane assembly‌: Pore size 0.001-0.1μm, interception of large molecular impurities (molecular weight>10,000 Daltons), recovery rate>95%.
‌Backwash device‌: Periodic backwashing to restore membrane flux, chemical cleaning to remove pollutants.

2. Auxiliary equipment
Post-processing system: Ultrafiltration water washing tank to remove floating paint, drying room (80-120℃) to solidify the coating.
Suspension conveyor chain: Mechanized conveying system (air suspension + ground sled) to ensure smooth transfer of workpieces.
Electrical control system: Integrated PLC module to realize automatic control of voltage, temperature and flow.

3. Technical features
Efficient coverage: The electric field drives the directional deposition of coating, and the coverage rate of the inner cavity of complex workpieces is >95%.
Environmental protection and energy saving: The coating utilization rate is >90%, and VOC emissions are only 1/5 of traditional spraying.
Intelligent control: Real-time monitoring of tank liquid parameters (pH, conductivity) and automatic triggering of maintenance procedures.

4. Precautions
Anodic liquid maintenance: The anodic liquid needs to be stopped for inspection if it is turbid to prevent the diaphragm from rupturing and contaminating the tank liquid.
Impurity prevention and control: Regularly detect the concentration of Fe²⁺, Zn²⁺ and other plasmas to avoid pinhole defects in the coating.
Ultrafiltration maintenance: prevent membrane components from drying out and ensure water permeability and lifespan through continuous operation.
