Complete Pet Cage Powder Coating Process
The process follows the reference route: hanging, pretreatment, drying, powder coating, curing, cooling, and removing workpieces.Stage 1: Hanging Workpiece
Pet cages or cage components are hung on fixtures. Correct hanging reduces collision, improves grounding, and supports better coating coverage on wire structures.Stage 2: Spray Pretreatment
Spray pretreatment uses a high-pressure water pump to form treatment liquid into mist and spray it evenly onto the workpiece surface. This cleans the workpiece, improves processing speed, and can help save energy.Stage 3: Drying Furnace
After pretreatment, the workpiece enters the drying furnace. Surface moisture is removed before powder coating to reduce bubbles, pinholes, and poor adhesion.Stage 4: Powder Coating Room
Powder is charged by a high-voltage electrostatic generator. Under the electrostatic field, the powder adheres to the grounded workpiece surface.Stage 5: Curing Furnace
The coated workpiece enters the curing furnace. Powder melts and cures to form a uniform, solid, and durable coating film.Stage 6: Cooling and Removing Workpiece
After curing is completed, the workpiece is cooled, removed from the line, inspected, and prepared for packaging or final assembly.Features

It can coat pet cages, kennel panels, pet fences, wire cages, metal pet toys, display racks, grooming equipment frames, and other metal pet products. The layout depends on workpiece size, shape, and output target.
Why is powder coating suitable for pet cages?
Powder coating creates a uniform and durable coating with good adhesion and corrosion resistance. It improves appearance and protection while avoiding solvent-based VOC emissions during application.
How do you ensure coating safety for pet-contact products?
Safety depends on powder material selection, pretreatment, complete curing, coating stability, and customer standards. The powder coating material should be selected according to the product's pet-contact safety requirements.
Why is the coating not shiny enough?
Low gloss may be caused by incorrect curing temperature, insufficient curing time, poor powder quality, surface contamination, or uneven oven temperature. Check the powder formula, actual workpiece temperature, and curing oven balance.
Why does the coating change color?
Color change can come from over-curing, excessive oven temperature, powder contamination, mixed colors, or unstable heat control. Clean the powder system and verify the curing profile.
Why is the coating surface orange peel?
Orange peel may be related to excessive film thickness, powder formulation, poor leveling, wrong curing profile, or uneven heating. Adjust spray thickness and confirm curing temperature and time.
Why do concave holes or pinholes appear in the coating?
Concave holes and pinholes may be caused by oil, water, dust, poor pretreatment, surface residue, moisture, substrate outgassing, or too much coating thickness. Improve pretreatment, drying, and compressed air filtration.
