Airless spray equipment
• PUMP - The pump pressurizes the
paint
• POWER - A power source is
required
• HOSE - High pressure hoses.
• CONTAINER - Holds the material
• GUN - Atomizes and directs the
paint onto the surface
It is important that only genuine
parts are used for the equipment.
Never purchase cheap replacements
or spares

Airless spray
• Keep the spray gun at a correct
distance from the object
• A correct distance ensures a
good, homogenous paint film
• Too great a distance gives poor
float and an uneven surface
• Trying to reach areas far away
will give an uneven film thickness
• Shadows are created behind
welds
• Waving with the gun results in an
unacceptable spray pattern

Application by Airless spray
Advantage Disadvantage
• High capacity output • Airless spray can produce a rough
• Low paint loss - if the equipment finish compared to other types of
is used correctly spray such as conventional spray
• Negligible paint fog • There will be an initial cost of
• Excellent coverage in awkward equipment and spare parts
places • Some form of power is required
• High-viscous materials can be such as compressed air or
sprayed easily electricity
• Thick coats easily applied in • A level of skill is necessary and
single pass training is required
• Mobile unit. Only compressed air
or electric power required

Consequences
General Maintenance Philosophy In 1st & 2nd cases
Case 1 : Planned in certain Interval and Change steel in most Degraded areas -Regular Maintenance Budget provision
- Choose the cheapest paint
-Need steel replacement when it is severely corroded
- Spot touch up
- Apply one beautification top coat all over -Round the year painting team busy for maintenance

-Initially cheap But cleaning & application cost same

Case 2 : Round the year coating maintenance
- Mainly in highly corrosive plant -Higher safety cost for regular coating maintenance
- Similar consideration as earlier points -Initial cost same but Cost per year is Considerably High

Case 3 : Planned , preventive & Proactive
- How to get best life cycle cost
- Use best anticorrosive product to provide maximum corrosion protection
- Minimum Cost –per – year
- Specialized Product , Quick back in service
In 3rd case
- Planned maintenance schedule, once in 4/5 years time
- Initial marginal higher cost due to quality paint
- Surface preparation & application cost same
- Degradation percentage much less
- Considerable reduced touch % in subsequent maintenance
- Low Cost per year
