You know how important it is that your machinery and equipment will last the distance. One way of achieving this is ensuring that your machinery has a durable and long-lasting finish. At Delmade all the equipment we manufacture is finished with a quality powder coat. In this article, we'll explore the benefits of powder coating for your farm machinery.

What is Powder Coating?

Powder coating is a finishing technique that involves applying a dry powder to the surface of the metal and then baking it in an oven to create a tough, durable coating. The powder is made up of a mixture of pigments resins and other additives which are electrostatically charged and then sprayed onto the metal surface. The charged powder particles then adhere to the metal surface and are baked at high temperatures fusing together to create a strong and durable finish.

Benefits of Powder Coating for Farm Equipment:

    1. Durability - One of the main benefits of powder coating is its durability. The baked-on finish is resistant to chipping, scratching and fading. This means that your farm machinery will look better for longer and will be able to handle years of hard use whilst still looking new. 

    2. Corrosion Resistance - Another benefit of powder coating is its excellent resistance to corrosion. The coating acts as a barrier between the metal surface and the environment, preventing rust and corrosion from forming.  This is particularly important for machinery that is constantly exposed to harsh outdoor environments and especially for equipment that is located near the coast where high salt levels increase susceptibility to rust.

    3. Aesthetic Appeal - Powder coating will give your farm machinery a more professional and polished appearance. The coating is a lot thicker than traditional methods like paint and comes in a wide range of colours & textures.

    4. Environmental Friendliness - Powder coating is an environmentally friendly finishing option, as it does not emit harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like traditional liquid coatings. This means that you can feel good about having a finish that is both durable and eco-friendly.

    5. Cost-Effective - The durability of the finish means you will save money on maintenance and replacement costs. As long as its cared for (i.e. washed down after use) a powder coat finish will last for years without requiring touch up.
