Paint Shop Safety Planning

Tutorial
Spray painting machine is widely used in almost all industries for it's flexible application. Safety is considered more and more due to uprising issues caused by various reasons. Beside furthermore training to improve the safety concept and experience sharing, we also need to avoid potential factors from the initial start such as machine designing and production. Here we have a safety list including both mechanical and electric tactic. Mechanical construction Most part of painting machine construction is mechanical. Although the basic logic and concept is pretty simple, the final presentation can can easily tell the manufacturer's skill and management level. Beside the general functionality, we have to pay attention to each small piece considerring safety such as no sharp edge and corner protection etc. For example after a steel plate…

3 Defective Phenomenons and Fix of Paint Spraying

3 Defective Phenomenons and Fix of Paint Spraying

Tutorial
Spray painting is logically a pretty easy job which seems to be hassle free for any people. As it's basically to trigger spray gun to send out liquid paint by pumping. However, in real working condition we always have to hire a professional technician at fruitful costs for guaranteed output painting quality. Why is this and what makes this seem-to-simple task costly? Paint spraying principle The basic logic of paint spraying is to atomize liquid paint then apply to object surface smoothly. The necessary tools include a spray gun, pressurized pot or pneumatic pump for paint supply and a compressor. Spray gun is moving above object surface with specific angles and speed to complete the finishing process. Spraying defective phenomenons Common problematic phenomenons such as following: Color difference - the…

Paintshop Waste Air Treatment

Paintshop Waste Air Treatment

Tutorial
Paintshop will make a big amount of waste air during operation. Based the current paint spraying technologies, the maximum paint application rate is about 60%. That means at least 40% paint will be extracted. If the paint booth provides up to 90% filtration capacity and save the solid particles inside booth tank, rest 10% is still hazard if we blow into atmosphere directly. Especially when the factory is close to a residential area, there're very strict extraction standards. Thus a proper treatmen solution is required for any paint shop construction. Waste paint air treatment or filtration is a complex system based the construction standards. Generally there're following stages for a complete clean filtration: water filtration - carbon filtration - VOC treatment - flame treatment. Water filtration - The primary and…
