ATEX and machinery directive: crucial ground rules in spraying plants and paint kitchens
At TLCA, we work daily on spray plants and paint kitchens for industrial customers. In doing so, we often come across the same questions: what about CE marking? Does ATEX apply? And how do you avoid your installation falling through the cracks when inspected?
In this article, we share our expertise on two of the most important European regulations that you absolutely must respect: the Machinery Directive and the ATEX directive.
Optimised Workplaces for Coating Processes: Efficiency, Ergonomics and Quality as Core
In demanding environments such as paint laboratories and coating departments, where precision and safety are absolute priorities, an optimised workplace is not a luxury, but a fundamental requirement. The layout of your workspace directly affects the quality of the finished product, your team's productivity and overall working comfort. Whether it is accurate paint mixing, thorough cleaning of components or maintenance of spray equipment, a well thought-out layout is essential for success.
Good maintenance prevents downtime and frustration
In an environment where quality, timing and efficiency are key, reliable equipment is essential. Spray equipment, mixing systems and pump technology that run at full power every day have a hard time. Think processing different types of coatings, intensive use, and sometimes long downtimes between jobs. All these factors put a strain on your equipment.
Special coatings for medical devices: protection and hygiene
In medical environments, where hygiene is crucial, antibacterial coatings are increasingly used on medical equipment. These special coatings, enriched with silver ions or other antimicrobial technologies, help to reduce infection risks and maintain a sterile working environment.
Safety on the Shop Floor in the Paint Industry: Preventing Accidents through Proper Guidance and Installation
In the paint industry, where potentially hazardous substances such as paints, solvents and spray equipment are handled on a daily basis, it is essential to prevent accidents. It is important not only to react when an incident occurs, but more importantly to be proactive in preventing accidents. Workers who receive the right guidance and training are less likely to need 112, and installing and maintaining the right components in the right way can significantly reduce the likelihood of an emergency. This article discusses how preventing accidents in the paint industry can be effectively achieved through proper training, careful installation and constant vigilance.
RSI in paint spraying: causes, symptoms and effective prevention
In the paint industry, paint spraying is often performed in prolonged, repetitive movements, creating a risk of repetitive strain injury (RSI). This condition can cause various forms of physical complaints, ranging from pain and stiffness to muscle weakness and numbness. Paint sprayers who work daily with heavy equipment or unfavourable working postures are particularly at risk. In this article, we explain how RSI occurs in paint spraying, what symptoms it can cause and how to prevent it. With the right knowledge and preventive measures, paint sprayers can stay healthy and productive.
Rotational Nebulisation or bell application: A Revolutionary Spraying Technique in Modern Industry
Rotational atomisation has taken an important place in industrial paint processes in recent years. This innovative technique offers unique advantages that set it apart from traditional spraying methods.
Low-pressure Nebulisation Technology: An Informative Overview
Several technologies exist within the low-pressure paint spray application segment, each offering specific advantages depending on the application. Choosing the right technology determines results, efficiency and production speed.
Low-pressure atomisation
When applying paint or coatings, there are several techniques that affect effectiveness, speed and precision. One is low-pressure atomisation, a technique in which paint or another liquid is applied via an air nozzle. This technique is especially popular for spraying thin layers and for applications that require higher control and finish.
