Applications of Custom Coatings
The DECC Company is currently utilizing four main coating application methods to apply custom coatings. They are ID, Electrostatic, Robotic, and Tumble spray coatings. We provide our customers with the latest in spray coating techntology to meet their precise coating requirements. Each coating application method is unique, and yields specific engineered qualities designed for exact, repeatable results.
ID Spray Coatings
Fixtured parts pass through a pre heater to the first ID gun, which coats the ID of the part as the part spins at its station. Next an electronic eye verifies that the primer has been properly applied to the ID of the parts before indexing to the second ID gun for top coat. The parts are then cured and moved to an automated final checker to assure that the part is the right one for that particular program, that no parts are mixed, and that the coating has been applied to the part. The parts are then placed on an enclosed conveyer and packed into palletized totes for shipping. This PLC controlled coating application machine is truly state of the art!

Electrostatic Spray Coatings
Fixtured parts pass in front of a PLC controlled, multiple oscillating turbines which deliver a cloud of electrostatically charged particles of coating.
This electrostatic coating method offers an efficient transfer of coating to the parts which results in a smooth, consistent film bond, thanks to reengineered state of the art delivery systems. For the right part geometry, this application method is designed to coat millions of parts, yielding equal coating consistency from first part to last part.

Robotic Spray Coatings
Unique part geometries including difficult angles are best coated utilizing robotic coating technology.
Fixtures move along a conveyor and pass in front of a robotic arm which aims the coating spray in a pattern that has been predetermined by the part-specific program, thanks to skilled engineers, and state of the art machinery. At this time, DECC Company has two 6-axis FANUC’s, and one 6-axis ABB robot.

Tumble Spray Coatings
DECC's unique bulk spray coating process provides an economical choice for certain types of high-volume coating applications.
A controlled spray of atomized coating is applied to rotating parts inside a truly one of a kind specially designed unit, offering an advantage over dip/spin technology when it comes to certain part geometries and coatings.
Through engineered unit geometry, controlled tumble rotation rate, and managed coating delivery systems, bulk coating consistency is possible, at a cost-effective price.
For part substrates made from plastic, glass filled nylon, or rubber, there is no option for dip /spin processing. Tumble is the way to go.
