Paint making machines and the production process

1. Production process

The production process of paint is to make the raw materials into final products. It is a ‘material transformation process’. This process includes mixing, homogenizing and dispersing. Manufacturers usually choose proper  paint making machines  according to the type of paint and its features. After choosing the machine, they determine the basic process modes.

The most significant step of paint making is the dispersion effect of pigment component. Add pigments into raw materials and then make the color paint. The first step is to disperse the aggregates of pigments. This step separates the pigment from the particle and evenly distributed in the paint. Finally become a colloidal suspension. Effect of pigment dispersion in liquid medium will influence the coloring and aesthetic feeling of paint. It will also influence the physical property of paint such as bond strength, durability and storage stability.

2. Paint making machines

Paint is a commonly used decoration material. Its quality is related to the size of dispersed particle. High shear mixers are the wonderful  paint making machines . This machine has the advantage of stable operation, low noise, easy to clean and flexible. It can operate continually and disperse and emulsify the materials superfine. Therefore, high shear mixer can highly raise the quality of paint.

paint mixing machines

As  paint making machines , there’s a big problem to be solved. Because of the larger molecular attraction, the aggregates of pigments are firmly bonded, and it’s hard to disperse. So the dispersion process needs high shear mixer. The high shear mixer can make materials bear hundreds of thousands of times shear in a short time. This can enhance the emulsifying effects of paint and easily make pigment particles evenly disperse into the liquid matrix.

All-in-one coating equipment configuration and price

Preface

With the development and progress of technology, the complete set of coating equipment is now multi-functional and can complete the whole process of emulsification, dispersion, grinding, refinement, cooling, filtration, vacuum automatic suction and semi-automatic filling. And it is generally completed in the same tank to make pulp and mix coating. This kind of coating production equipment is suitable for producing water-based coatings and lacquers. Let’s learn more about its configuration and price!

The main equipment of the integrated coating equipment includes high-speed shear emulsifying and dispersing tank, coating mixing tank, pipeline emulsifier, horizontal sand mill and powder feeding tank, static mixer, liquid meter, air compressor, electric control device, filling machine and so on. In general, it is measured by the liquid meter and emulsified and dispersed by high shear, vacuum automatic suction and defoaming, etc. It is a typical semi-automatic filling process, which requires only one process from raw material input to finished product production.

Main features

The second tank is a multi-functional stainless steel mixing tank. If the process allows, the two steps can be combined into one step to produce emulsion coating, as well as stone-like coating, putty paste and acrylic aggregate without any burden. Its unique combined emulsifying head structure makes the material fully dispersed and emulsified until it is completely fine, ensuring that the processed material is processed in various viscosity states without dead ends.

System Equipment

1. The electrical control system includes electric control cabinet, relay, thermal protector, air switch and cable, etc.
2. Its suction system is generally composed of vacuum pump, stainless steel vacuum buffer tank and liquid suction tank and powder suction tank, additive tank, liquid meter, etc.
3. The pulping system is mainly composed of upper and lower head, stainless steel dispersion tank with seal and high-speed dispersion machine with double dispersion disk and high-shear mixing emulsifier.

The coating mixing system is composed of stainless steel paint mixing tank (upper and lower head, with seal, paddle stirring), low-speed mixer (cycloidal reducer).

5. Discharge filter system is composed of air compressor, recoil type bag filter.
6. Filling system: 1 set of filling machine combination parts.
7. Piping system includes all ball valves, quick connect joints, stainless steel pipes and electric lines 1 set.
8. Operation platform

Overview

Generally speaking, the price of integrated coating production equipment fluctuates greatly, due to the size of its output, the difference in configuration and the different sales regions and sales businesses. Simple configuration ranges from 1,500USD to 15,000USD, senior configuration can reach hundreds of thousands US dollars or even up to 60,000USD to 90,000USD, the greater the output, the higher the price. It is mainly based on the needs of the buyer and the affordability to decide which grade of integrated coating production equipment to buy.

The introduction of integrated coating production equipment is here for now, because it is a more specialized and expensive production equipment, so I hope you still understand its functionality and practicality and the price comparison around the case before choosing to buy or not.
