THE quality in industrial painting<\/strong> For most companies, it's synonymous with paint and final finish\u2014as if the booth alone guaranteed the result. But those who work closely with paint lines know that this equation doesn't add up. We brought together three experts who work in different (and rarely discussed) areas of this process to discuss what really happens behind the scenes, even before the paint touches the part. The conversation was led by Danielle Inocente, filtration specialist and industrial strategist at Koria, with the participation of Carlos Eduardo Rocha Campos, CEO of Max Group (stripping of painting devices and tools), Rafael Vargas, business development manager of Grupo GPS (technical cleaning of paint booths), and F\u00e1bio Gudeliauskas, general manager of Kluthe Qu\u00edmica do Brasil (chemical treatment of paint booth water).<\/p>\n

Quality in industrial painting begins long before the paint itself.<\/h2>\n

As Danielle begins, the quality of an industrial paint job "starts long before the paint reaches the part," in the preparation, the care of the booth, the cleaning, the correct supplies, the appropriate filters, and even the treatment of the water that supplies these booths. This was the common thread throughout the conversation: three areas that seem separate, but are deeply connected.<\/p>\n

Hooks and fittings: the "trivial problem" that holds up the entire line.<\/h2>\n

Carlos, from Max Group<\/a>, He begins by pointing out something that many companies treat as a detail: the cleaning (stripping) of hooks, devices, and painting equipment. According to him, it is a structural problem more common in medium and small companies. Large industries usually have their own laboratory to study how many cycles a hook can withstand before needing cleaning; smaller ones, most of the time, do not.<\/p>\n

Carlos is also direct about a practice still common in some plants: cleaning devices "by force," with a small hammer and manual tool. Besides no longer being used by those with automated processes (reciprocating machines), this practice damages the device and physically softens the steel, which has already led to recorded line accidents.<\/p>\n

The ultimate impact is not just aesthetic: unpainted parts, rework, and scrap directly affect delivery times and financial results.<\/p>\n

Conventional cleaning vs. technical cabin cleaning<\/h2>\n

Rafael, from GPS Group<\/a>, This brings a distinction that summarizes a good part of the problem: conventional cleaning is not the same thing as technical cleaning.<\/p>\n
