Based in South Africa, Storm Machinery offers a wide variety of spray painting equipment for all industrial and commercial applications. We pride ourselves in servicing all pumps that we sell and all spares for working components are readily available. Our range of equipment includes the following:
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.
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.
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:
