Committed To Quality, Committed To You
Oil-based paints are widely used in a variety of industries, including construction, automotive, and manufacturing.
However, the production process of oil-based paints can be complex and require specialized equipment, including vibratory screening machines. In this article, we will discuss the reasons why it is necessary to use vibratory screening machines to produce oil-based paints.
But first of all, let’s understand the process.
Oil-based paints are produced by mixing pigments with a binder, usually a drying oil such as linseed oil or modified alkyd resin. The pigment particles are dispersed evenly throughout the binder, forming a homogeneous mixture. The paint is then thinned with solvents to achieve the desired consistency.
The screening process of paint is a critical step in the production of oil-based paints. It involves passing the paint through a fine mesh screen to remove any lumps, impurities or debris that may have been introduced during the mixing process. The screening process also helps to ensure that the pigment particles are properly dispersed throughout the binder, resulting in a uniform color and texture.
One common method of screening oil-based paint pigments is using vibrating screens. Vibrating screens use a vibrating motor to generate a circular motion that forces the pigment through a mesh screen. The size of the mesh screen can be adjusted to achieve the desired particle size, and multiple screens can be used in series to achieve a more precise level of screening. Vibrating screens are often used in conjunction with air classifiers, which use air to separate particles based on size and density.
Another method of screening oil-based paint pigments is through the use of centrifugal sifters. They use centrifugal force to push particles through a mesh screen, similar to how a washing machine spins clothes to remove water. This method of screening is often used for high-volume applications, as it is able to handle large quantities of pigment at once. Centrifugal sifters are also able to remove oversize particles more effectively than other screening methods, as the force generated by the centrifuge is able to break up clumps and agglomerates.
Using the right screening machine can significantly enhance your oil-based paint production by improving the quality and consistency of the finished product, as well as reducing waste and production time. Here are some ways in which the right screening machine can help:
Overall, using the right screening machine can help to improve the quality and consistency of your oil-based paint production, while also reducing waste and increasing productivity.
At Galaxy Sivtek, we offer you a wide range of screening and filtration machines that can make your paint production process even more efficient and productive. For the sole purpose of screening pigments in oil-based paint production, we have curated this list of machines that can be beneficial for you:
Galaxy Sivtek’s SIVTEK Vibro Separator is a highly versatile and efficient screening machine that can sieve all types of materials. This makes it ideal for scalping, de-dusting, and gradation settings in the paint production process.
This machine’s strategically placed vibratory motors provide circular motion and greater productivity. The eccentric weights on the upper and lower ends of the motion generator shaft create high-intensity vibrations, resulting in even distribution of pigments being screened, allowing for faster screening. This becomes very advantageous in bulk screening.
This vibro separator is a reliable and cost-effective solution for all types of sieving requirements. Its smooth and secure operating experience makes it an optimum vibro separator machine. Its woven mesh embedded in the vibrating sieve ensures a longer lifespan without any downtime.
This gyro separator offers numerous benefits, such as significantly increasing the screening capacity and providing five different gradations in a single operation. With a diverse range of add-ons, this versatile machine can be transformed into various modes of application. Different types of screening rings can be installed to bring a whole new level of versatility to this gyratory separator.
If you are looking for an efficient screening machine to process low bulk density, look no further than Sivtek Roto Sifter. It is a reliable and innovative centrifugal sifter that is ideal for screening particles ranging from powders to granules. This machine is known for its unique ability to operate in a vacuum environment, making it a versatile choice for oil-based paint production.
The Roto Sifter is highly beneficial for materials that require high-powered sifting while maintaining hygiene. It can also perform various functions, such as classifying and de-dusting, and is available with screens in four different sizes for greater flexibility in controlling the final product.
The beater bars on the screener create centrifugal force, separating the screening material based on particle size. The cantilever design of the machine helps maintain a hygienic environment while reducing sound emissions to less than 80 decibels and minimizing power consumption without creating any additional vibrations.
The Sivtek Roto Sifter is designed to meet the highest standards of sanitation and hygiene. It provides safe processing of materials, preventing any contaminants from entering raw materials, making it a popular choice for industries that require high hygiene parameters, such as food and pharmaceuticals. The compact and concealed design of the machine ensures dust-free operations, and it can easily rotate 360 degrees, making inspection easy.
The SIVTEK Self-Cleaning Filter is an innovative filtration system that is designed to effectively strain liquids of varying viscosity. It can filter both watery and highly viscous substances, making it an ideal choice for businesses in need of versatile filtration solutions. Unlike traditional self-cleaning strainers, the SIVTEK automatic filter eliminates unwanted particles through an automatic, continuous filtering process based on Delta P’s principle.
This automatic filter is capable of continuous processing without the need for filter changes. Pneumatic actuators power the cleaning disk, which collects and cleans the solid particles accumulated in the mesh basket. This feature allows the filter to continuously screen oil-based paint for an extended period, thereby increasing throughput exponentially.
The SIVTEK Self Cleaning Filter is available in four different sizes (2″, 4″, 6″, and 8″), providing businesses with customizable filtration options that can cater to their specific needs. Its superior filtration capabilities and innovative design make it a reliable and cost-effective solution for oil-based paint production and filtration.
The Inline Sivtek Double Motor separator is an advanced version of inline vibro sifters that offer high efficiency and increased circular motion for better screening performance. The separator is designed with two vertically mounted motors, which provide a higher output capacity and faster sieving of fine mesh products.
The 3D motion created by the two imbalance weight gravity motors installed on the machine allows the material to move in a circular motion, thereby increasing throughput. The bottom outlet of the machine is placed directly underneath the top inlet, making it more compact and reducing the minimum height requirement.
Furthermore, the compact design of the machine, with the inlet and material discharge outlet placed at the centerline, reduces the movement of the screening material, thereby reducing screening time.
The Inline Sivtek Double Motor separator is easy to maintain and disassemble, with gyro sieves that are easily removable for cleaning. It occupies less space and requires minimal manpower, leading to lower maintenance costs. With its efficient and economical design, this machine is an excellent choice for businesses looking to enhance their screening performance.
