Solvent-Based Paint Production Plants

Solvent-Based Paint Production Plants

Solvent-based paints offer superior durability, gloss retention, and resistance to harsh weather conditions. They remain indispensable in heavy-duty industrial applications, metal surfaces, and marine environments where performance is paramount.

Key Advantages:

  • High Durability: Exceptional resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and UV radiation.
  • Excellent Adhesion: Strong bonding capabilities even on challenging substrates.
  • High Gloss & Aesthetics: Delivers long-lasting, deep gloss finishes.
  • Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of industrial and protective coatings.

Typical Applications: Automotive paints, industrial coatings, marine paints, road marking paints, and metal protective primers.

Atılım Grup Makina's Turnkey Solutions

The paint production process involves numerous sensitive steps, from precisely mixing raw materials and homogeneously dispersing pigments to final packaging. Our plants are engineered to execute each of these steps to the highest standards.

Core Production Process Steps:

  1. Dosing & Weighing: Precision load-cell systems and automated flow meters ensure exact adherence to formulations.
  2. Pre-mixing: High-speed dissolvers efficiently blend liquid and powder raw materials to create homogeneous slurries.
  3. Dispersion: High-shear dispersers or Basket Mills effectively wet and de-agglomerate pigments into the main solvent (water or organic solvent).
  4. Milling/Grinding: Horizontal Bead Mills reduce pigment particle sizes to the desired micron-level fineness, ensuring optimal color strength and stability.
  5. Let-down & Tinting: Post-dispersion adjustments, addition of binders and additives, and precise color matching to achieve final product specifications.
  6. Filtration: Bag or cartridge filter systems remove any undesired particles or impurities from the finished product.
  7. Storage: Intermediate storage tanks hold the finished paint prior to packaging.
  8. Packaging: Automated or semi-automated filling and packaging lines for various container sizes.

Key Equipment & Components:

  • Stainless Steel Mixing Tanks: AISI 304, 316L grades, available in various capacities (from 1,000 L to 40,000 L), with or without heating/cooling jackets.
  • High-Speed Dispersers: Equipped with hydraulic lifting systems and Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) for precise speed control.
  • Basket Mills: Combines dispersion and milling into a single unit, enhancing efficiency and reducing transfer losses.
  • Horizontal Bead Mills: For ultra-fine grinding, featuring ceramic or zirconia grinding media for high efficiency and minimal contamination.
  • Raw Material Storage Tanks: Dedicated tanks for binders, solvents, water, and various additives.
  • Transfer Pumps & Piping: Diaphragm, lobe, or gear pumps suitable for various viscosities, connected via hygienic stainless steel piping.
  • Automation (PLC/SCADA): Centralized control of the entire production line, recipe management, automated raw material feeding, safety interlocks, and remote access capabilities.
  • Filling & Packaging Systems: Automated filling machines for buckets, cans, drums, labeling, and palletizing options.
  • Safety Systems: For solvent-based plants, ATEX-certified explosion-proof equipment, integrated fire detection and suppression systems, and advanced ventilation are standard.
