Supply chain
Shenzhen and Dongguan builders make trickle, dip and vacuum-pressure impregnation machines with curing ovens, from small-motor lines to hairpin EV stators; Dongguan's oven makers also supply the curing tunnels. Choose with your varnish supplier, and check temperature-profile control and solvent handling.
Buyer FAQ
- Trickle, dip or vacuum-pressure impregnation (VPI) — which should I choose?
- Trickle impregnation suits small stators and armatures on automatic lines: little varnish waste and fast cycles. Dip impregnation is simple and cheap for batches. VPI gives the best penetration and is used for high-voltage, high-reliability or large windings.
- How do I check that the varnish has penetrated?
- Track weight gain per part, cut open a sample at every set-up to look for dry spots inside the coil, and run a bond-strength (helical coil) test on the varnish. Electrical checks after curing — hipot and insulation resistance — confirm the result.
- What matters when buying the machine?
- Temperature-profile control in preheat, gelling and curing zones; accurate dosing per station; rotation and tilt control for even flow; solvent extraction and VOC treatment for environmental compliance. Ask the varnish supplier to approve the process window.
