Types of Spray Machines And The Latest In Technology

When it comes to spray machines, the various types are ideal for their respective application. Fan coaters are used most often for applications such as trim, siding, and molding. A fan coater is a compact machine that applies a mist of coating to a surface. Fan coaters are used for water-based and UV coatings on substrates up to 12 inches wide. Reciprocating spray machines are best for large-scale, continuous coating of flat surfaces. They use oscillating spray guns to apply the coating in overlapping waves. They provide an extremely high-quality consistent finish. The benefits of this precise method is that overspray is reduced and material waste is minimized. Reciprocating spray machines are often used to coat panel products like doors and cabinets. Rotary spray machines have rotating arms with spray guns that move in patterns to create a fine mist. The machine identifies the shape and size of the part as it passes under a scanner, and then adjusts the flow speed and rotation to provide a high-quality coating. Rotary spray machines can achieve feed speeds of more than 30 FPM and colors [...]

Meeting Safety Precautions For Paint Spray Booths

As with any industrial environment, following safety precautions is critical to the welfare of the people who work in them. In a facility with paint spray booths, reducing the risk to your employees and making sure your products are of the highest quality, are the top priorities. Below are some important procedures to follow. Protect From Hazardous Fumes A paint spray booth will contain hazardous fumes from the chemicals in paints, primers, varnishes, and other coatings. These can be very harmful to your employees’ health. A well-operating booth will maintain good air quality inside of the booth, as well as out. The ventilation system should be checked regularly to make sure it is running optimally. It should always be operating when spraying is occurring, and should continue running for an appropriate amount of time after the procedure is completed. It’s important to make sure exhaust fans, filters, and ductwork are in good working condition. Lower The Risk Of Fire Besides being toxic, finishing coatings are highly flammable. When paint is sprayed, a liquid flammable product becomes an airborne product; these [...]

Pressurized vs Non-Pressurized Paint Spray Booths

Paint spray booths come in various types and styles. Certain kinds are better suited for specific applications. And the opposite is also the same – some configurations are simply not well suited for certain applications. Choosing the right type of spray booth for your finishing business is one the most important decisions you can make. Purchasing the wrong kind of booth can create problems and hinder production. One feature to consider is whether the industrial spray paint booth is pressurized or non-pressurized. The purpose of a spray booth is to move air past the object being painted so that the part is well coated and the overspray does not get deposited back on the object or the newly coated element. Let’s take a look at these two options. Pressurized Booths A pressurized paint booth is designed to work with negative and positive air pressure. The booth operates with a balance of air coming in and air going out; in other words, the balance between the air replacement fan and the exhaust fan. If only the exhaust fan is running, [...]

Linear Automatic Paint Spray Booths

Linear spray booths are used to spray primer or a finish to flat straight items, such as door frames, doors, window frames, picture frames, moldings, flooring, and more. However, these spray booths can be adjusted to handle shapes and angles. They offer a fast and efficient way to finish larger volumes. Common materials that are coated include: Wood, plastics, composites, metals Commonly used materials that are applied include: Various paints, polyurethane, sealants, coatings Automatic linear spray machines consist of: the control panel air adjustment gauges conveyor for transport piece sensor spray guns recovery troughs filter unit exhaust fan pump The conveyor in a linear paint spray booth transports the work item to the spray guns. When the item is in position, the spray guns are triggered to apply the coating. When the item moves away from the guns, the guns automatically turn off until another piece is in place. This ensures the spray is only on when an item is in position, minimizing wasteful overspray and taxing the filtration system. Linear spray booths generally include three to six spray guns [...]
