When Should You Use A Paint Booth With Baking/Drying System

Large sized components which are heavy or difficult to move or requires complex material handling systems to  transport from one chamber to another can benefit with a paint booth and drying system in the same chamber. This speeds up the drying and painting process. It consists of paint and bake modes which can go up-to 110 degrees Celsius. Special 3 axis platform which are pneumatic can be fitted inside the booth for better productivity and saves on repainting costs. Prism has installed many paint booth with drying systems which are energy efficient and gives you a faster ROI.

Applications can include rail coaches, locomotives, windmills, trucks, buses, excavators, construction machinery, power transformers and other large industrial components which are difficult to move.

Symptoms Of A Bad Paint/Powder Drying Oven

How to know if your paint or powder curing oven is giving you issues? The paint curing oven is one of the most important part of your painting line and a bad curing oven can lead to a lot of risk and decreased productivity. Your curing oven should be able to satisfy all cure  parameters and perform consistently.

Some of the side effects or symptoms of  poorly designed paint curing oven are heat loss, chipping, poor airflow, orange peel, poor adhesion, difference in gloss, uneven colors/shade mismatching, poor chemical resistance, poor corrosion resistance etc. To avoid all these issues the paint curing oven must be designed properly with proper air flow and efficient heat exchangers (indirect heating). Prism ovens are well designed and known for their temperature accuracy. This is achieved through an effective air seal between the oven and the outside ambient conditions. Prism can supply various types of paint or powder curing ovens which include A Zone ovens, camel back ovens, ground mounted ovens and also IR ovens.

 

Largest Bumper Paint Shop in Pune installed by Prism

Painting plastic bumpers for cars is probably one of the most challenging automobile parts from the point of painting technology. This is due to to the shades that has to match the original car paint shade which is painted in a different paint shop or a painting line.The main challenge is to obtain very high first pass quality(increased rejection levels leads to increased expenses) and high level of automation considering various configuration of the bumpers and many different shades of colors. Hence the paint shop must perform top of its class to achieve the desired finish.

Prism has installed one of Asia’s largest bumper paint shop in Pune for Plastic Omnium and is proud to be associated with their team and guarantee satisfaction.

How 3 Axis Platforms increases productivity in Paint booths?

Painting large equipment’s such as Aircraft’s, trucks , buses, rail coaches/locomotives , power transformers , wind mills and other components can be difficult to paint as some areas are hard to reach. This becomes increasing difficult for the operator to keep using manual ladders or platforms to paint the difficult areas. This can lead to finish issues, decreased productivity , operator fatigue and increasing the cost of repainting. To overcome these issues Prism introduces the ‘Tall Boy’ which is a Pneumatic 3 axis platform which can be fitted in your paint booths or Blast rooms. All our platforms are completely Pneumatic (powered by air) and not electric because of the explosive atmosphere present in Paint booths where any spark can be a hazardous in the paint booth. We also dont use hydraulic platforms because there could be a possibility of oil leakage and could affect the finish.Also your maintenance costs will increase as the booth needs to be regularly cleaned if here is oil leakage.

ADVANTAGES OF PRISM’S PNEUMATIC ACCESS PLATFORMS/LIFTS:

  1. Designed in Germany and manufactured in India. You are assured of technology from Germany and the manufacturing is in India which gives you a cost advantage and faster ROI for your investment. The Tall boy can fit into any type of spray paint booth and is easy to use.
  2. Our platforms are designed to reduce operator fatigue, increases productivity and helps you save on paint by bringing down the cost of over painting or repainting.
  3. Our platforms travel and reach to difficult areas of the object while painting (sometimes which cannot be reached by the human hand)which can be vertically ,telescopic or horizontally).
  4. All our platforms are powered by air which makes it safe to use in explosive atmospheres such as paint spray booths
  5. Our Platforms require less maintenance and are easy to operate.

Main Areas of Application

Manufacturers of Buses,trucks, large valves, large engines , power transformers, aircraft’s , military vehicles ,rail coaches,locomotives , metro bogies ,wind mills and any component that cannot be reached by the human hand.Our platforms can be used in Paint booths, Blast rooms as well as powder coating booths.
