Paint
Process Optimization
The
expense of operating a paint shop is heavy upon a business. When
inefficiencies occur, this cost can spiral quickly out of control
impacting not only operating budgets, but also affecting product quality
and customer relationships. Moreover, an inefficient paint shop is
a burden upon the environment.
If
the infrastructure is in place, an efficient paint shop is not difficult
to obtain. Large capital expenditures are not required. The
conditioning of existing equipment and the implementation of efficient application techniques can have an immediate and enormously
profitable impact on the business. At
one major automotive manufacturer, improved color change efficiency
saved US$ 26 million annually!
How
Efficient is Your Process ?
To
get the highest level of productivity and quality from your paint
shop, it must be efficient. North American Paint
Applications can help you quantify the level of efficiency and
assign a meaningful value to it. We quickly identify areas of improvement to productivity and operational efficiency. We offer a low cost
comprehensive paint
application system audit for this very
purpose. Some questions that we frequently seek
answers to are listed up below. You may well benefit from a
review of them.

your line yield inconsistent from day to day ?
Do
your robots sit idle not spraying during a job cycle or between parts ?
Does
your conveyor stop often ?
Are
there gaps on your conveyor ?
Do
your robots miss jobs or run the wrong job ?
What
is your level of conveyor utilization ?
Are
your paint racks well designed ?
Is
your system designed and applied with good fire safety practices ?
Does
your process need continual manual supervision and adjustment for,

Drips,
runs, sags, solvent pop, or color match ?
-
Uneven
film build distribution ?
-
Light
spray and no paints ?
-
Equipment
positioning ?
-
System faults or equipment failure ?
-

Is
the quality of your finished product reliable and consistent with
customer requirements ?
Is
the quality of your finished product better than the competition ?
Do
you have excessive orange peel, low gloss, strike-in, or color matching
issues ?
Is
your first time through reject rate less than 90% ?
Do
you have to stop your paint conveyor because of,
Is
your conveyor speed limited for any reason other that oven curing
requirements ?
Do
you strip your conveyor every day ?
Is
your production flexibility limited to certain product sequences ?
Is
your equipment operating with high efficiency ?
Is
your color change fast, reliable, and efficient ?
Do
you have excessive overspray or paint build-up in the booth, on
equipment, or on filters ?
Is
your system flexible enough to support your production needs ?
