Large-Scale Spray Painting Equipment

I. Introduction

Large-scale spray painting equipment is a high-efficiency, intelligent coating solution specifically designed for large workpieces. It is widely used in automotive, shipbuilding, construction machinery, rail transit, and wind power equipment industries.

II. Application Areas

• Transportation: High-speed rail carriages, heavy-duty trucks, and ship section coatings.

• Energy Equipment: Corrosion-resistant coatings for wind turbine nacelles, blades, and towers.

• Construction Machinery: Coatings for excavators, cranes, and tunnel boring machines.

• Defense & Aerospace: Surface treatment for large-scale equipment, storage tanks, and military vehicles.

III. Technical Overview

1. Basic Principles

• The system utilizes automated or semi-automated processes to evenly apply paint to large workpieces, forming a protective layer that enhances corrosion resistance, rust protection, and aesthetics.

2. Core Process Flow

• Automated Spray Painting Robots/Mechanical Arms

• Equipped with high-precision trajectory control systems, supporting multi-axis motion for complex surface painting.

• Programmable operation, compatible with water-based, oil-based, and powder coatings.

• Spray Booth (Spray Room)

• Enclosed structure with positive pressure air supply and multi-layer filtration (primary, medium, high-efficiency filters) to maintain a dust-free environment.

• Explosion-proof design with VOC (volatile organic compound) treatment systems (e.g., activated carbon adsorption, catalytic combustion).

• Workpiece Conveying System

• Customizable conveyor systems (such as overhead chains, roller beds, and rotating platforms) for large and heavy workpieces (e.g., truck bodies, wind turbine blades).

• Variable-frequency speed control, allowing continuous or intermittent operation.

• Drying & Curing System

• Infrared, hot air, or UV curing systems for rapid drying and improved production cycles.

• Uniform temperature control (±2°C) to prevent over-baking or under-curing.

• Intelligent Control System

• PLC/Industrial PC centralized control, integrated with HMI (Human-Machine Interface) for real-time monitoring of flow rate, pressure, and speed.

• Supports data tracking, fault diagnostics, and remote maintenance.

• Environmental Protection System

• Paint mist recovery (wet curtain or dry filter systems) with 98%+ filtration efficiency.

• Exhaust gas purification (RTO, zeolite rotor) ensures compliance with GB 16297 environmental standards.

IV. Technical Advantages

1. High Efficiency & Energy Saving

• 3-5 times faster than manual spraying.

• Paint utilization rate >85%, significantly reducing waste.

2. Superior Coating Uniformity

• Precise control of atomization pressure and spray width, preventing runs, orange peel, and uneven thickness.

3. Flexible Adaptation

• Modular design, customizable for workpieces up to 30m in length and 50 tons in weight.

4. Safety & Reliability

• Explosion-proof electrical systems, gas leak alarms, and emergency stop mechanisms ensure safety.

5. Eco-Friendly Design

• VOC emissions <50mg/m3, compliant with strict environmental laws such as China’s Air Pollution Prevention Act.

V. Development Trends

1. Larger Scale

• As workpiece sizes increase, spray painting equipment must scale accordingly.

2. Intelligent Automation

• Integration of robotics, AI, and real-time monitoring for smart spray painting.

3. Green & Sustainable Coating

• Adoption of low-VOC, eco-friendly coatings and advanced spray technologies.

4. High Efficiency & Energy Optimization

• Improved system design to enhance energy utilization and reduce operating costs.
