Finishing Equipment

You can have top of the line finishing equipment, but quality accessories are also necessary to ensure a professional finish every time. There is a short list of names in the surface treatment industry that are synonymous with quality. If you lay out the cash on equipment by Graco, Binks, Exel North America or Wagner, to name a few, you know you have an airless or air assisted airless sprayer that was designed to deliver the best possible results. The equipment itself, however, can only go so far, operating at the pressure you need for the jobs you do. The rest comes from the hose, couplings and adaptors, and spray tips that you use with your finishing equipment.

In addition to using durable tips made from tungsten carbide and other tough and hard-wearing materials, it’s essential that you have the right tip for the job. Products such as stains, varnishes, and lacquers require a fine tip and, depending on the project and the fluidity of the product you’re using, flat tips or even reversible paint sprayer tips will work well.

Finishing Equipment

While you may understand why quality sprayer tips are required for finishing equipment, maybe you haven’t paid as much attention to the quality or type of hose you use. However, the results you get depend just as much on using the right kind of hose for the job, and making sure it’s sturdy and long-lasting. Look for hose that is reinforced with woven high-tensile stainless steel, brass-plated carbon steel or polyester textile fiber and equipped with polyamide or Teflon cores.

Whatever your airless accessories needs are, you will find the tips, couplings, hose, and other items you need at KM Coating, Inc. We can even customize hose to your specifications, cutting it to the ideal length and configuring it based on your requirements. KM Coating has the top quality accessories you need to get the best results.

Industrial Spray Painting

Industrial Spray PaintingThe Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that industrial spray painting is among the occupations that are actually growing, though, with a four percent growth rate, the outlook is not quite as good as the national average. Still, considering the unemployment rates, it is reassuring for those with experience using airless spray equipment to know that they can find work when they need to. The BLS also reveals that one of the biggest pluses for industrial painters is that employers have a hard time finding workers who are qualified, meaning the job opportunities are there for those with the skill and knowledge of using industrial painting equipment.

If you would rather be your own boss instead of working for someone else, you can start your own industrial spray painting company. Depending on what type of spray painting you want to specialize in, the investment to get started can be as low as a few thousand dollars. An article on the Entrepreneur website focuses on a unique take on the business: mobile spray painting.

factories

  • metal roofs
  • storage tanks and pipelines
  • bridges
  • water towers
  • ships
