Critical Factors for Paint sludge removal system

Paint sludge removal or separation system is one of the most critical parts of a painting plant where the excess paint which is trapped has to be disposed off correctly to meet pollution control board norms. We have come across many customers who are currently suffering with their paint sludge separation systems and continuously increasing their running costs.

Prism offers continuous online paint coagulation system which makes sure 0.2% of paint is only being circulated in the water of your water wash paint booth which lets your run on maximum efficiency and does not stop production.Lets look at some of the factors of what makes a good sludge separation treatment system which can lower you running costs:

  1. The change of water must be carried out only after a year. if you are changing your water ever few months then the system needs to be replaced as it can increase your running and maintenance costs which will hamper your production.
  2. The size of the pit must be less with which will save  you on investment costs for the pit.With prism system , the pit size  is reduced by over 70%.
  3. Automatic sludge which is extracted should have a very low volume of water thanks to dewatering efficiency.
  4. You must be able to avoid cleaning the sludge pit manually which will involve cleaning your blowers, flow plates, impllers etc.
  5. Water volume in the pit should be very low compared to traditional pit design due to continuous mud extraction
  6. VOC concentration in the air must be minimum with a good sludge removal system to meet pollution control norms.

Prism is a manufacturer of complete sludge removal and treatment systems which are designed in Germany and manufactured in India.

Best Paint Gun for Aircraft Finishing and Military Aircraft

Aircraft manufacturers and Aircraft paint workshops/hangars spend a lot of money on painting their helicopters, fighter jets, military trucks/battle tanks etc. This is because these are large equipment’s and requires huge amounts of paint to complete one coat of paint. The paint is also very expensive for painting aircraft. There are also many finish issues which occurs in aircraft painting due to compressed air technology which usually consists of oil and moisture.

Prism Has developed a revolutionary technology along with an american company where we replace 100 year old compressed air technology with the MAGIC PAINTER SYSTEM where we eliminate the need for compressed air and it saves you upto 60% paint with a high transfer efficiency. Magic painter will not give you a high over spray. During aircraft painting a lot of paint over spray is created with normal guns, with the magic painter system paint over spray is eliminated and you achieve a more superior finish due to the absence of compressed air. Magic Painter will decrease your maintenance costs and also help your filters last longer. VOCS are drastically reduced and leads to a cleaner greener paint booth which is environmental friendly. More importantly you save money.

The magic painter principle follows a high volume low pressure principle where high volume of air is generated to atomize the paint. As the high pressure is eliminated, the paint is sprayed at 0.7 bar the paint over spray is drastically reduced and you are able to achieve most of the paint being transferred on to the component giving you a high transfer efficiency. As the system supplies warm dry air, it can also speed up the drying process. Energy costs also reduce as compressor maintenance costs come down as the need for an air dryer for the compressor is also eliminated.

Magic Painter Gun vs Electrostatic guns

Magic painter system does not need any type of paint resistivity to be maintained or any type of grounding or earthing like electrostatic guns. Grounding and earthing increases maintenance costs and decreases operator safety. Cost of electrostatic paint is also expensive. In the magic painter gun, all painful procedures associated with electrostatic guns is eliminated and increases operator safety.

 

LATEST TECHNOLOGIES IN PAINT SHOP

Prism over the years have a track record of having supplied high performing powder coating plants and Paint Shops which last for over 15-20 years. In our r&d center in Bangalore we have developed many technologies that is realistic,affordable and can give immediate benefits in your paint shop in terms of energy and paint savings. These technologies have been developed over the years. Here are some of our latest technologies in paint shops  that we currently offer:

  1. Magic Painter Gun– This is a revolutionary gun that can save you around 50% paint and it does not use compressed air. It eliminates complete paint over spray and paint fog which occurs in almost all guns in today’s market. It gives a transfer efficiency around 85-90% and it supplies warm dry air between 45-60 degrees Celsius. As it does not use compressed air it eliminates all issues related to compressed air such as oil and moisture. This gun can be used to paint any object except for shipyards where ver high viscous paint are used.
  2. Gas catalytic oven – This oven can bring down drying/curing time drastically and only consumes 50% fuel compared to normal traditional conventional ovens. This can be used in powder coating or painting. It can also be used as a booster oven to reduce the length of the conventional oven to reduce investment costs. This also speeds up the drying time.
  3. UV Powder coating– UV powder coating is the next game changer in the powder coating industry where you can dry UV powder in less than a minute compared to traditional powder coating which takes between 20 -25 minutes to dry. A UV-cured powder system can produce more material in a given period of time. This results in an increased operating capacity, reduced WIP inventory, lower cost of quality, less energy usage, and increased profits per hour. All of these factors lead to a higher ROI. UV-curable powder coating is faster and uses less energy than other finishing processes. This key benefit allows you to coat more products in less time while using less energy without damaging the substrate. This increases productivity and reduces running costs. UV powder can be reused just like normal powder which reduces your running costs.
  4. Pneumatic 3 axis man lift platform– This platform is fitted in paint and blast booths to paint or blast large objects. This increases operator comfort and reduces fatigue. It also help in bring down refinishing costs. It is powered only by air and since a paint booth is an explosive atmosphere we dont use hydraulic or electric which can cause explosions. Our platforms are CE certified and have been exported to Europe and USA. Widely used in railways, aerospace, trucks,bus,windmills and any large fabricated machinery.

All the above technologies are present in our R&D lab and customers are welcome to come and see it for themselves to believe what we are offering.

Aircraft Paint Booth and Paint Finishing Systems Package

Prism has the complete paint shop and painting system package for aircraft and defense manufacturers worldwide which are energy efficient as well as gives high paint savings. We also supply paint booth inserts for MROs and paint hangars at airports. We offer complete paint booths with heating systems, preparation/sanding booths, Magic painter gun and Pneumatic 3 axis operator man lift platforms to paint the aircraft. All our paint booths are designed in Germany and manufactured in India.

Our Magic painter systems are ideal to paint aircraft as it gives high paint savings and does not use compressed air which eliminates issues such as moisture and oil. As aircraft manufacturers spend lot of money on paint and aircraft paint is expensive, the magic painter system will help you save money as it eliminates complete paint over spray. The magic painter has been supplied to Pratt & whitney, Lockheed martin and BAE systems.
