Capacity Range

1 – 60 Litres

Paint pot is a pressure-resistant metal or plastic tank system designed to store and transfer coating materials such as liquid paint, primer, or varnish in specified volumes to a spray gun. This system, one of the fundamental components of paint application equipment, can be fixed, mobile, or portable. Paint pots provide continuous paint supply to both automated and manual spray guns through pressurized systems.

Features

  • Material: Stainless steel, aluminum, or high-density plastic.
  • Capacity: Ranges from 1 liter to 60 liters.
  • Available in pressurized or gravity-feed models.
  • Equipped with an air regulator, pressure gauge, and safety valve.
  • Some models include a mixing system (manual or pneumatic).
  • Can be designed for portable or fixed installation.

Application Surfaces

A paint pot is not applied directly to a surface but functions as part of a paint application system. Common environments of use include:

  • Industrial paint booths.
  • Automotive manufacturing and repair workshops.
  • Furniture varnishing lines.
  • Aluminum facade cladding systems.
  • Coating operations for tanks and structural steel.

Application Areas

  • Processes requiring prolonged application over large surfaces.
  • Application of primers and varnishes under constant pressure.
  • Constant paint feed in airless and HVLP systems.
  • Intermediate storage for color mixing systems.
  • Continuous flow requirements in automated robotic painting lines.

Application Techniques

Usage Procedure

  • Filtrated and diluted paint is transferred into the pot.
  • The pot lid and connection hoses are sealed tightly to prevent leakage.
  • Paint feed to the spray gun is initiated by adjusting the air inlet pressure.
  • After use, the interior of the pot must be cleaned with an appropriate solvent.
  • Safety valves and hose connections must be inspected periodically.

Advantages

  • Provides continuous and balanced paint flow.
  • Optimizes application duration and frequency.
  • Enhances efficiency in high-volume applications.
  • Helps maintain consistent color tones.
  • Models with mixing systems ensure homogeneous blending.

Limitations

  • Incorrect pressure settings may cause paint spillage.
  • Leakage issues may occur at hose connections.
  • High-capacity pots have limited portability.
  • Failure to clean may result in contamination during subsequent applications.
  • Low-quality valve systems may cause pressure loss over time.
