Advantages of using a spray paint machine

  • Faster - When it comes to large jobs with strict deadlines, spray painting is the best application method. Spray painting machines are designed for large industrial applications. Spray painting has exceptionally high production rater
  • Better finish -Overall, a spray paint machine will leave a very professional look. A paint sprayer helps ensure a more even coating.
  • Better control over Dry Film Thicknesses – Easily adjust/change the spray tip/needle/nozzle size to best suit the specific paint. Please ensure coating thickness is continuously monitored for optimal results.
  • Ideal for hard to reach places – Paint spray machines are more user friendly than traditional roller/brush applications. Gun extensions and swivels can also be used.

What is spray painting

Spray painting is a painting technique in which a paint machine sprays a coating (paint, ink, varnish, etc.) through the air onto a surface. When this happens, the paint breaks up into small particles or a fine mist. This process, in turn, we call atomisation. Spray painting covers large surfaces with an even coating of liquid.

Paint Data Sheets

The best way to match an industrial spray pump or industrial spray paint machine to a paint product is to refer to the Product Data Sheet. A Product Data Sheet (PDS) is a document that contains vital information such as the specific volume solids of the paint, the required atomizing pressure of the paint and the specific conventional needle/nozzle or airless spray tip size required for the correct atomization of the product. The PDS will also confirm if the product can be sprayed by a pneumatic spray paint machine or if a conventional system will be better suited. Certain paint products can not be sprayed have to be applied by a brush or roller.

SPRAY TECHNIQUE

Another important element to take into consideration is spray technique. Without skilled operators who use the correct spray technique a coating can fail regardless of the quality of paint or correct surface preparation. Spray equipment requires training and optimal health and safety procedures.

Common coating failures due to poor technique:

  • Sagging/running
  • Dry spray / overspray
  • Orange peel / texture finish
  • Pinholes / holidays / solvent popping
  • Fisheyes
  • Wrinkling
