Custom Solution to Paint I-Beams
This metal product manufacturer was experiencing issues regarding costly product returns and rework due to their painting contractor struggling to keep up with demands. After comparing costs of outsourcing vs. painting in-house, they decided to purchase their own painting equipment. We worked with them and came up with a solution that would not only help streamline production but would be easy to use and completely adjustable for varying product sizes. The system consisted of a built-in conveyor (that the customer fabricated themselves), a Graco wall-mounted 47:1 King Pump with six automatic air-assisted G40 paint spray guns, and a manually operated control panel. To power this paint spray system, we also installed a Quincy QGD-25 rotary screw air compressor with all the proper filtration components. In the end, this customer now has a reliable painting system that is easy to use and completely flexible. They no longer worry about material coming back not painted; saving them time and money, and most importantly, saving them from lost opportunities and dissatisfied customers due to sub-par paint finish qualities.
