One common drawback to the electrocoating process is that multiple color use is made problematic due to the need for segregation of paints and the difficulty in effecting color changes.  This session describes the design and operation of a system that e-coats fasteners in baskets in any one of five colors (with a future option for a sixth color).  Consideration will be given to system layout, concerns about paint contamination, material handling automation, load tracking, paint handling and waste disposal.
