Automatic Spray Coating Application for Automotive Wheel Covers

Automobile manufacturing refers to the assembly of various components and parts to produce a complete vehicle. The wheel hub cap is a cover installed on the wheels, also known as a hub cover, wheel cover, or wheel arch. Its primary functions are to protect the wheel mechanism and braking system while also enhancing the vehicle's appearance.

Car wheel hub caps are typically made from materials such as aluminum alloy, steel, or plastic. Aluminum alloy hub caps feature lower weight, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior aesthetics, making them common in high-end vehicle models. Steel hub caps are more robust and durable, suitable for commercial vehicles or off-road models that require greater impact resistance. Plastic hub caps are lightweight and cost-effective, often found in economy-class vehicles.

Therefore, hub caps made of different materials impose varying requirements on painting equipment, presenting manufacturers with diverse challenges such as scratches, stains, corrosion resistance, and durability. IMLUCKY offers a wide range of products and various spraying techniques for your selection! By applying a coating, scratches, stains, and corrosion can be effectively prevented, enhancing the durability and protective performance of automotive hub caps.

Moreover, modern spraying emphasizes environmental protection by using low volatile organic compound (VOC) content paints. Spray equipment employing LVMP atomization technology and precise paint control techniques can enhance paint utilization and operational efficiency, reduce paint mist dispersion, minimize waste generation, decrease resource consumption, and lower the environmental pollution caused by waste.

Spray Coating Case Study

This application case involves the customer's requirement for painting automotive wheel hub covers. An automatic spray gun is employed, utilizing an automatic track-following system for paint application, which conserves paint and is environmentally friendly. This method ensures excellent coating quality and high efficiency. The paint material used is solvent-based. Based on the customer's painting needs, IMLUCKY's professional technicians tailor a comprehensive solution to meet the customer's specifications.

Product Configuration Details:
WAGNER Wagner 1:1 Pneumatic Conveying Pump
DEVILBISS Cobra 2 Automatic Spray Gun (7 Pieces)
USA GRACO 2KE Mixing System

Stable paint transfer is achieved using the WAGNER pneumatic diaphragm pump set, paired with the Japanese DEVILBISS COBRA2 automatic spray gun for coating car wheel hub covers.
Air spraying uses low-pressure fluid to atomize materials under controlled conditions, where the low-pressure fluid stream mixes with compressed air at the air cap. This technique is suitable for spraying medium to low-viscosity fluids on products requiring high quality. It enables the application of uniform, smooth coatings on surfaces, enhancing both the visual quality and spraying efficiency of the products.

We offer customized spraying solutions and comprehensive support for automotive hubcap products, covering the full range of equipment from spraying pumps and metering systems to spray guns. Whether you require single-component or two-component materials, or need to handle varying flow rates and viscosity diversity, we can meet all your spraying needs.
