The other dimension

You dove through Kipinä. On this side a powder coating line runs on your screen: ten stages, real geometry from a real plant. Scroll along with one part.

01 · STAGE Loading

Parts are hung on the conveyor. Grounding happens here, because without it the powder will not stick.

02 · STAGE Up the ramp

The conveyor climbs to the upper floor. The line is a loop: it does not start or end, it circulates.

03 · STAGE Wash, serpentine

Grease and dirt off. The serpentine gives the wash zones the time they need.

04 · STAGE Wash turn

The turn wheel takes the part to the next pass. Same space, many runs.

05 · STAGE Drying, wind tunnel

Air is blown from below. You cannot powder coat a wet surface.

06 · STAGE Descent

Back down. The part is clean and dry, and it cools on the way.

07 · STAGE Powder coating

Electrostatically charged powder clings to the part. The overspray is recovered and returned to circulation.

08 · STAGE Cure oven

The powder melts and cross-links into a coating. Here the dust becomes a durable surface.

09 · STAGE Cooling

The outdoor loop cools it down. The coating hardens enough to handle.

10 · STAGE Unload

The finished part comes off, and the empty hanger carries on around.

A production line, machine operation or service path can use the same format when a still image cannot explain movement or order. It runs in a browser and on a phone without an installation.
