Hanging conveyor in the furniture industry

There are many kinds of finishing lines that can be used in accordance with the type of production in the furniture factory. One of them is the hanging conveyor finishing line. It is a finishing line that uses hanging to hold and bring the workpieces while the finishing process is done. Hanging conveyor is the finishing facility that is required by a big furniture factory, especially the mass product factory. In the big volume job, the hanging conveyor finishing line helps to run the finishing process continuously with better controlled, organized, and targeted time. 

The hanging conveyor is more suitable in the furniture factory that makes products with a small size and requires a finishing layer on the entire surface. The finishing process for small items and component products, such as baby cribs, bunk beds, rattan furniture, chairs, and metal furniture, is more suitable for a hanging conveyor. Hanging conveyor is very effective for doing the finishing layering with 1-time application. 

Hanging conveyor with electrostatic spraying equipment

The uses of hanging conveyors in the finishing process are usually in conjunction with the electrostatic spraying equipment. It is a good choice to do the finishing process to small objects, especially the metal furniture, at which the electrostatic spray gun can work optimally. The electrostatic spray gun helps the application of finishing material be done quickly and efficiently. And the hanging conveyor helps to hold the object while it is sprayed on its overall surface. 

Hanging conveyor  with powder coating

A hanging conveyor finishing line is very ideal to be used with the powder coating system. Powder coating systems that coat their object surfaces entirely always need the hanging conveyor to hold their working pieces. The hanging conveyor with the powder coating is commonly found in the finishing process of the metal products. The powder coating that works at high temperatures (more than 100 degrees Celsius) is, of course, not recommended for the wood finishing. 

Hanging conveyor with a conventional spray gun

In the wood or rattan furniture factories, the uses of a hanging conveyor with a conventional spray gun are also found a lot. The hanging conveyor is an effective tool to assist the finishing process for furniture products with small sizes. Small items such as table legs, chairs, baby cribs, and small panels can be hung and sprayed on their entire surface simultaneously. The ideal concept is when the system uses the electrostatic spray gun to do the coating, but the electrostatic equipment often does not work in the wood finishing. The wood that is not good conductor material has prevented the electrostatic equipment from working optimally. Since then, the hanging conveyor in the wood finishing has also been used a lot with the conventional spraying equipment.

The consideration in the use of a hanging conveyor.

The type and volume of jobs are always the primary consideration in the selection to buy the facilities in every factory. The hanging conveyor is more suited to assist the finishing process for the objects with small size (lightweight). The objects will be attached to the hunger that moves automatically while they are processed. The objects that are large and heavy will be hard to hang. Although there is a hanging conveyor that is designed to carry the heavy objects, the operators will find difficulties in doing the job with the big objects. For example, the sanding on flat objects can be done easily using sanding machine on a pallet conveyor, but it will be very difficult to do in a hanging conveyor.
The hanging conveyor that runs automatically is also better suited for the simple finishing job. A simple finishing that requires a few layers of stain or clear coating by spray application will be greatly assisted by the hanging conveyor. But for the complex finishing jobs that require lots of hand-works such as antique finish or special finish, this line is not suitable. The hanging object tends to sway with low instability and makes the handwork become difficult.
