Sanding and Painting Finishes Tank Preparation

When their work is completed the Plumbing Department uses a special overhead lift to remove the unit from the chassis and place it on a special cart for blasting and painting. When blasting is completed, the unit and all its plumbing are sprayed with a coat of etching primer followed by a coat of sanding primer. The unit is then hand sanded and coated with sealing primer, and then moved into our heated paint booth where it receives two coats of DuPont’s Imron paint. All removable plumbing and parts are hung from spraying racks for painting. The chassis frame is hand sanded and a new coat of paint is sprayed on the interior and exterior of the chassis rails. Once the unit is fully painted, it moves to the Final Assembly team.
