Flow Coating of Radiators CHING Paint
Work Station OPERATION DATE OF ISSUE: 25/07/2021
Paint Workshop Flow coating ISSUED BY: Sameer Nagade
SETTING INSTRUCTIONS VITAL OPERATION:
1. Galvanizing radiators were sweep blasted to Sa 2.5 with 1. Viscosity of the paint should be as per
aluminum Oxide grit. CHING paint TDS viscosity chart.
2. Clean Blasted radiators are then sent for Oven process to pre- 2. Mixing Ratio should be as per the paint
heat them for 70 min at 70ºc. TDS
3. The radiators are then natural cooled down to room
temperature.
4. Put tarpaulin bag in the flow coating tank.
5. Ensure adapter &pipe of tarpaulin bag is attached to the pump.
6. Switch ON the fume extractor.
7. Put primer (mixture of base primer & hardener) in the flow
coating tank.
8. Put respective thinner in the flow coating tank.
9. Circulate the mixture through filter cloths to remove dust and
other particles for 5 mins.
10. Check the viscosity of the mixture with Ford cup ( B4 cup )
SKETCH 11. Ensure viscosity is achieved as per requirement
12. Ensure viscosity parameter is approved by the QA Engg.
13. The radiators are then flow coated with EMC 182 & is left to
naturally dry for 4 to 5 hrs.
14. Once the radiators are naturally dried, it is then sent for oven
process for 70 min at 70ºc.
OPERATION INSTRUCTION CONTROL PLAN
3. Press the down button on the drop down panel 1. Viscosity of the paint should be as per
4. Press & hold the down button till the radiator goes in tank CHING paint TDS viscosity chart.
completely 2. Mixing Ratio should be as per the paint
5. Hold the pipe on the radiator. TDS
6. Start the valve of flow coating pump 3. Relative Humidity-max 80%
4. Surface temp. Of radiator to be
 7. Start flow coating the radiator maintained 3 deg.cel. Above dew point
8. Lift the radiator slowly by pressing up button on drop down temp. at painting area.
panel SAFETY INSTRUCTION
9. Flow coat the radiator simultaneously as the radiator is lifted 1. Do not stand below the radiator
upwards 2. Use helmet
10. Carry radiator upwards after flow coating process is finished 3. Use safety shoes
11. Allow the radiator to hang above the tank for 5 mins. For 4. Use Hand gloves
dripping 5. Use Nose mask
12. Brush the lower end of the radiator fins, and bracing strips to
remove primer rundowns. REASON FOR REVISION:
