The production of paints and coatings is recipe-based and highly sensitive to product quality parameters such as pigment dispersion, viscosity, volatile organic compound (VOC) content, and system stability.
Short and medium production runs are common, with frequent formulation changes and stringent batch traceability requirements. Key issues include: safety in explosion-hazard zones (solvents, pigment dusts), LEL detection and ventilation, VOC emission control, line cleanliness between batches, and repeatability of parameters (viscosity, color, particle size distribution).
Key Specifications
Process
Liquid paints (water-based / solvent-based / UV)
- raw material reception and storage
- premix/pigment paste preparation (high-speed mixers)
- milling/dispersion (bead mill or disperser)
- mixing with resin and solvents
- adjustments (viscosity, color)
- filtration and optional degassing
- packaging (cans / pails / drums / IBCs) and labeling
- cleaning of lines between batches
Powder coatings
- dosing and mixing
- extrusion
- cooling, crushing, milling/classification
- packaging, central dedusting
Typical Line Components
- process tanks with mixers (anchor / high-speed)
- bead mills / dispersers
- recirculation systems
- dosing systems for solids and liquids (scales, flow meters)
- final filters
- filling machines with checkweighers
- cleaning installations (solvent-based or water-based)
- EX safety systems: grounding, LEL detection, ventilation, ATEX zones
Scope of Implementation
