Painting in the automotive industry is a crucial process to provide finishing and protection to vehicle surfaces. This process begins with surface preparation, which includes rust removal, sanding, and primer application to enhance paint durability.

Next, the vehicle is painted with a base coat and a top coat chosen according to customer specifications and preferences. Afterward, a baking or drying process is carried out to strengthen the paint and achieve optimal gloss.

Aside from aesthetic aspects, painting also plays a significant role in protecting the vehicle from corrosion, extreme weather, and mechanical damage, thereby ensuring the vehicle’s beauty and longevity.

Common problems in this unit along with their solutions from Eonchemicals are as follows.

1. Problem with Belt Conveyor: Uncontrolled Grease Consumption

This issue is often caused by the negligence of workers in this unit or their inability to determine when regreasing is actually needed. It can also be due to the quality of the grease and unstable operations, resulting in inconsistent regreasing intervals.

Excessive grease consumption can lead to environmental pollution due to spills and increased grease procurement costs due to wastage
