DKG's Paint Stripping Machine Senior BHPian DKG sent me details on a paint stripping machine that he's developed . Thought I'll share it here. Details below (as received from him). Process:
A combination of water, air and abrasive is blasted onto the surface to effortlessly remove paint, primer, body filler and any contaminants found normally during a automotive refinishing process. With grit size and air pressure as controllable variables, you can choose the degree of stripping paint in layers, with almost negligible erosion of the metal surface. The resultant metal surface is an ideal surface for any paint refinishing process as it enables optimal bonding of new primer. Advantages:
Unlike the manual paint stripping process, this is not at all labour intensive. One man, with an appropriately sized machine, can strip an entire car in a couple of hours.
Process strips paint effortlessly in hard to reach nooks and crannies too.
Cost of abrasive is low, making it a low cost alternative.
Given the use of water in the process, there is no visible dust, making it quite comfortable for the operator to work.
The abrasive particles coated in water have a less abrasive action, reducing the chances of eroding the metal surface. The process using water prolongs nozzle life with reduced wear. Machines and Prices:
There are three machines in different sizes and systems:
Superstrip 30
30 litre capacity machine with fully manual system
Price Rs 65,000
Superstrip 100
100 litre capacity machine with remote control (deadman handle) and automatic pressurising + depressurising with exhaust silencer
Price Rs 135,000
Superstrip 200
200 litre capacity machine with remote control (deadman handle) and automatic pressurising + depressurising with exhaust silencer
Price Rs 165,000
All machines come complete with a 10-meter blast hose and nozzle. Contact Details:
