Pneumatic Paint Circulation System-Case Study

Feature Image for the Case Study on Pneumatic Paint Circulation System

Project Location: Russia
Industry: Automotive
Customer: Four Wheeler
OEM (Identity confidential)

Customer Requirement:

Customer required to install and commission new paint shop comprising of paint
circulation systems, solvent distribution and recovery system.
The system must fulfill the requirement at the Robotic painting station and manual
painting station at desired flow rates and pressures @required application temperature.
• Paint Circulation Systems for Primer, Basecoat & clear coat
• Solvent Distribution System
• Solvent Recovery System
• Automatic controls and data acquisition

System objectives

The system is designed and installed keeping in mind the following critical factors that affect the end result:
• Hydraulically balanced Pressure system to deliver desired quantities of paint to the application stations.
• Tight Viscosity control +/-2Deg C via Temperature Heat /Cool System.
• Flow Monitoring System (Cycle Counter)/ Pressure Sensor to ensure optimum velocity in all section of the pipe network ,
thereby avoiding material degradation & shear
An Auto Fill System between the Mix Tank and the Supply Tank ensure uninterrupted flow of paint through the Supply Pump
and Network, Alarms are Provided for Operator Response.
Materials Used SST 304 (AISI304) with good internal finish provides easy cleaning and flushing, provides the flexibility to meet
production and material needs today and in the future.
