Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Electrostatic painters use static electricity to uniformly adhere powder paint to workpieces and cure and finish it through baking in a manufacturing role.
Description
Electrostatic painters perform work to form a uniform coating film by spraying powder paint onto metal products, machine parts, etc., using an electrostatic spray gun. First, they conduct pre-treatments such as degreasing, cleaning, and masking of the workpiece, then set up and operate the electrostatic painting equipment. After painting, the workpiece is placed in a curing oven for heating to harden the coating film. They ensure quality through coating thickness measurement and appearance inspection. Managing workplace safety and health, as well as maintenance and inspection of painting equipment, are also important tasks.
Future Outlook
With the automation of manufacturing and advancement of painting technology, labor reduction and higher quality are expected to progress. Powder coating is anticipated to have stable demand accompanying the increasing need for environmentally friendly products.
