Q&A How can paint removal baths be made to last for a long time?

Posted on by adm1n_alit_1

14 Jan 2019. The chemical formulations used for paint stripping, result from the skills that every company in the sector guards passionately. The formulations also have a considerably high incidence in the general costs of paint stripping processes. Nevertheless, the baths can last for years, and, if the right precautions are taken, they can last for nearly five years before requiring reintegration or replacement.

How should they be treated? Using an effective filtering system is paramount, and this is what Alit Technologies recommends when it invites its industrial partners to equip itself with its Fastrip FP press filter in addition to the Fastrip ISP system for in-line stripping. It eases the perfect ‘maintenance’ of chemical baths, keeping them clean from paint residues. It also allows the pressing and squeezing of the wasted paint, reducing it to a dry compound that is easy to handle and removing the precious paint stripping solution from it.

The waste, as seen in the image captured recently at a Thai customer’s industrial premises, becomes solidified and manageable and not dirty, with the cost of its disposal lower than it would be for its liquid version. The experience of the Thai customer, who is currently using the Alit formulation METALSTRIP 1460 + METALSTRIP AKTIVATOR 1660 is an excellent example that confirms the possibility of obtaining less waste to be disposed of and chemical baths in a good condition indefinitely.

Q&A Why do well-stripped hooks ease an optimal painting?

Posted on by adm1n_alit_1

12 Nov 2018. The hooks or frames used to transport items to be painted in industrial lines should be stripped off well before being reused, for the simple reason that the presence of paint particles that have not been removed properly during cleaning, decrease the electrostatic effect. In this regard, read the comments of one of our clients, Mr Andreas Marcou, who is Muskita’s plant manager at page 50 of IPCM’s October issue where he is pointing out the importance of electrostatic conductivity.

In electrostatic painting, the paint powder sticks to the product due to the electrostatic effect, but the possible presence of paint from a previous process generates a repulsive barrier between successive layers.

Therefore, by cleaning the support hook well, the number of items that are painted badly and must be reworked is reduced drastically. This also allows a reduction in paint consumption.

For this reason, Alit recommends its Fastrip ISP technology In-line paint Stripping Process, a system of heated tanks containing chemical paint-stripping solutions that are placed between the writing probe and the loading probe of the painting process. During their passage, the hooks or frames to be cleaned are immersed in the tank and, within a few minutes, in relation to the paint used and the working temperature, come out at the end of the process perfectly cleaned. They are then ready for optimal reuse and are able to promote maximum electrostatic conductivity in the subsequent processes.

ALIT @ ALUMINIUM 2018 – 12H33

The in-line paint stripping of hooks and steel goods has better consumption performance today

(Verona, Italy). At ALUMINIUM 2018, ALIT Technologies, a specialist in manufacturing chemical paint-stripping machines, will present the technical innovations surrounding its Fastrip ISP systems that has been designed for the in-line stripping of hooks used in electrostatic painting processes. The innovations are related, in particular, to the heating systems of tanks, which nowadays also work with oil, in order to guarantee better consumption performances. On the occasion of the fair, the recently built Fastrip plants will also be presented along with particularly interesting customised solutions.

Fastrip technologies, which were launched in 2012, are a range of highly modular machines that can adapt to pre-existing industrial lines. They are used in particular by the metalworking industries, specialising in painting, as well as anodic oxidation and extrusion industries when they have painting departments.

More than 25 plants are already operating in 15 countries around the world to witness the good reception these technologies have received, solving a problem closely felt by the sector, that is, the removal of paint from goods that have been badly painted in an economic and effective way.

Fastrip ISP systems consist of a tank positioned under the catenary in the area between the loading and unloading of the painted material. The hooks as well as metal profiles used in the painting processes are immersed in baths with chemical solutions suitable for a specific type of paint. For an optimal process, ALIT recommends its products of the Metalstrip line, which have been studied and tested by the company laboratories. The system typically takes a maximum of 3 minutes to complete the paint-stripping process. In the end, the hooks come out perfectly cleaned and ready for a new cycle of work – optimised – since the effective removal of the paint improves the electrostatics of the pieces, thus allowing a subsequent good painting of the goods to be treated.

ALIT Technologies, headquartered in San Bonifacio in the province of Verona, North-East Italy, also works in close contact with plant engineering industries to develop areas of work dedicated to paint removal in the industrial layout design itself. The metal stripping companies as well as those of metal extrusion and anodic oxidation with painting departments can, with ALIT systems, achieve great savings as compared to the manual removal of paint from badly stripped pieces or to their outsourced maintenance. Fastrip systems have constant technical support thanks to the company’s assistance team.

On the website www.alit-tech.com, news, catalogues, technical information and contacts for any further information can be found. At this link – https://www.alit-tech.com/en/list-manufatti/ – there is a table outlining the products that can be treated with Fastrip technologies.

Muskita chooses the technological evolution of the Fastrip ISP machine

Posted on by adm1n_alit_1

Cyprus-based aluminium manufacturer Muskita has installed a Fastrip ISP machine to treat its profile hanging hooks.

Muskita, manufacturer of aluminium profiles and accessories, has invested in an accessory phase of the coating process, greatly affecting productivity, energy efficiency, and operational safety: it has installed a paint stripping system to treat its profile hanging hooks, choosing the technological evolution of the Fastrip ISP machine produced by ALIT Technologies.

The system will help increase the speed of its coating line and it will enable the company to significantly reduce energy consumption and process costs. This is crucial for a company like Muskita, bearing much higher costs for energy supply than in the rest of Europe.

The Fastrip ISP system installed at Muskita’s premises is a 6-metre long chemical stripping tank, with a capacity of 2 tonnes of product and with a hook immersion depth of 30 cm. It is the first tank of this type to have a wall heating system with diathermic oil.

The tank can be completed with a water rinse module to remove the residual paint stripping oil and with an infrared lamp module for drying. The active paint stripping solution should never be changed, because the system is designed to be in balance: two products are used, one for the tank and one for feeding. 

Management is simple: the sludge is filtered by a filter press that produces a dry residue to be disposed of.

ALIT Technologies on A&L’s special issue dedicated to Aluminium 2018

Posted on by adm1n_alit_1

ALIT’s solutions to strip aluminium parts presented in the special issue dedicated to the Aluminium 2018 trade fair of the magazine A&L.

On occasion of the Aluminium 2018 trade fair, which takes place every two years in Düsseldorf, ALIT showcased its paint stripping technologies for aluminium in the special issue dedicated to the fair of the A&L magazine. 

In particular, Fastrip ISP is an inline stripping plant with an innovative concept, which features a horizontal tank above which a rail runs for the in-line handling of hooks and frames intended for electrostatic coating operations. These are immersed and made pass through the stripping bath for a variable time of approximately 2 minutes. After leaving the chemical bath while still hanging onto the chain, they are completely clean and ready to be used in a new coating cycle.

It is a modular concept, which offers a high degree of personalization and can be integrated into the already existing production lines.
