industry, along with a demographic version
of the Brain Drain phenomenon in powder

new talent. Despite powder coatings image,

steps we can take to help ward off the

Powder coating continues to occupy the industri-

Coating Institute (PCI) members reveals that jobs in
powder coatings are not located in those booming
locations like San Francisco, Boston, the research

attract engineers and scientists to other high-tech
industries (Figure 3), but rather in the more mature

Your Complete Source for Engineered Hanging & Masking Solutions

Increase your coating line capacity up
to 50% with the Angle Pivot System
Our patented
Angle Pivot System
levers against the tilt
of the track on
inclines and declines
to rotate your racks.
This results in...
Closer rack spacingup to 50% increased
capacity on conveyors with inclines or declines of
45 or more
Higher inclines/declines of up to 60 are possible,
making your finishing line more compact
With a Solid Wall of parts, your paint line efficiency
is greatly increased
More accurate spray gun-to-part spacing ensuring
consistency and decreasing waste
ANGLE PIVOT RACKS
Note that a flat ware package is necessary.
Can be used on any existing or new conveyor system
Compatible with all Mighty Hook Rack Systems
Solid Wall Finishing can be achieved by simply
closing up the gaps between racks by using the
Angle Pivot System. This unique product attaches
to your existing conveyor line to create closer rack
spacing, virtually creating a Solid Wall of racks
increasing paint or coating efficiency. It will work on
inclines or declines of up to 60, and adapts to any BEFORE AFTER
existing or new system. Racks automatically rotate up to 70 on inclines and declines, eliminating any contact.
Mighty Hook Engineers can provide the details on adapting the Angle Pivot System to your conveyor, and
increase your coating line efficiency for a fraction of new line costs. We can also create custom racking and
hooks that will complement the Angle Pivot System to provide a totally custom solution for your unique finishing
requirements. Contact us at 773-378-1909.

dwell time involved. This is a slow process from start to
finish. Pricing these jobs has to take into consideration the
steps involved and the slow pace through the shop.
Prepping bare steel (specifically commercial steel) via
conventional methods often involves media blasting, which
can be a con for most job shops. As you are aware, before
Brought to you by any material gets powder coated in a bare steel situation,
there are steps involved: Oil-dirt-grease remediation >
media blasting > surface wash-etch-sealant-rinse > dry off
> and then the powder coat process. Depending on the steel
substrate condition, there may be an abundance of rust
oxide impregnated in the metal that, as you know very well,
may eventually work its way through the powder coated
surface. Exaggerated pre-finishing steps may be required,
which involves time and materials, which in turn equals
$$$$.
Comparing the two processes, oftentimes HDG is not
much more expensive than the steps needed to bring the
same metal to powder coat ready via media blasting and
such.
