TMI Coatings, Inc. (TMI) completed a press machine painting project for a global paper company due to the harsh industrial environment. The paper company makes more than 90% of its products from renewable fibers. The company had a short maintenance window for completing the machine painting project. TMI was able to staff the project with two crews of 6 men working around the clock so the project could be completed within 72 hours.
Procedure:
- TMI worked with the owner to have belts, hoses and detachable components removed so TMI would have access to all areas for coating.
- TMI prepared the machine surfaces by degreasing and CO2 blast cleaning to remove grease and other bond inhibiting contaminants.
- The machines were further prepared by needle gunning and power tool cleaning to remove pack rust, flaking paint and other loose foreign material.
- TMI then applied two full coats of high build fast cure epoxy designed for protection of steel in industrial environments. The epoxy system used is intended for use in a wide range of applications including refineries, fabrication shops, chemical plants, tank exteriors, power plants, water treatment plants and the mining industry.
Outcome:
TMI completed this project in the short time frame and schedule requested by the owner. Attention to detail and thorough surface preparation will provide a long-lasting finish for corrosion protection.
