Solutions to Paint Dripping of Paint Receiving Trays in Latex Paint Production

• Equip diversion pipes and recycling buckets as core configurations of receiving trolleys.

• Formulate standard operating rules for recycled paint:

  • Directly add qualified recycled paint into mixing tanks for reuse in next batches. Collect and filter residual paint for producing primers or low-grade coatings with low color requirements.

IV. Cleaning: Standardize Cleaning Work & Operating Specifications

1. Establish strict cleaning regulations

• Thoroughly clean receiving trays, valves and surrounding areas after each batch production and daily work to remove dry paint residues.

• Apply high-pressure water guns to clean tray corners and diversion pipes efficiently.

2. Strengthen staff training

• Standardize placement and moving operations of receiving trays to ensure accurate alignment with discharge outlets.

• Enhance daily cleaning awareness and include relevant norms in regular performance assessment.

Recommended Implementation Plan by Priority

Immediate Low-cost Improvement

1. Inspect and replace aging valve sealing rings.

2. Refit existing flat trays into funnel-shaped trays with inward curled edges.

3. Place temporary large receiving trays for emergency use.

Medium-term Renovation Investment

1. Upgrade common trays to movable receiving trolleys equipped with diversion pipes and recycling buckets.

2. Replace conventional valves with well-sealed butterfly valves or diaphragm valves at key working stations.
