Default Fluidized bed coating

Anybody have any exp, with fluidized beds. I am thinking of getting a small one. I have a small foundry and am casting aluminum. I need to develop a small production coating line. I only need one color. Do you guys feel I can produce CONSISTANT results if I do my part? Meaning proper part prep and preheat to avoid outgassing. I need to gang them up say 10 or so at a time preheat and dip then finish cure. I realize my coating thickness will be considerably thicker than e-stat but my products will need to be durable in a marine environment. Time saved using this method will thwart to added powder volume cost. any ideas or tips and cautions are greatly appreciated.
