In this technique, application is done
by going through a calibrated cascade of paint that flows over the workpieces.
The thickness of the film depends on the inclination angle of the workpiece,
on the viscosity of the paint and on the amount of evaporating solvent.
The excess paint is recovered in a collection tank and put back into circulation.
Trasmetal has applied the flow coating technology to
the automotive sector (on lenses and parabolic reflectors for headlights)
where paint is applied in a cleanroom and then polymerised with UV radiation.
