Surface Finishing & Treatment

Coating, plating, blasting and cleaning. Kept apart from production because these lines share extraction, chemical exposure and an effluent route, are usually run by their own people, and on a fabrication site are usually the bottleneck.

9 types, and what a survey records

Equipment type	Recorded for each one
Spray Booth / Coating Line	Coating applied · Throughput · Transfer efficiency · Cure method · Booth filter change interval · Chemicals / coatings used · Extraction LEV thorough examination date · Booth type · Duty
Paint / E-coat Line	Coating applied · Throughput · Transfer efficiency · Cure method · Booth filter change interval · Chemicals / coatings used · Extraction LEV thorough examination date · Liquid effluent route · Duty
Powder Coating Line	Coating applied · Throughput · Transfer efficiency · Cure method · Booth filter change interval · Chemicals / coatings used · Extraction LEV thorough examination date · Powder reclaim fitted · Duty
Anodising Line	Process / finish · Bath volume · Bath temperature · Rectifier rating · Bath analysis frequency · Chemicals / coatings used · Extraction LEV thorough examination date · Liquid effluent route · Duty
Plating Line	Process / finish · Bath volume · Bath temperature · Rectifier rating · Bath analysis frequency · Chemicals / coatings used · Extraction LEV thorough examination date · Liquid effluent route · Metal deposited · Duty
Galvanising / Pickling Line	Process / finish · Bath volume · Bath temperature · Rectifier rating · Bath analysis frequency · Chemicals / coatings used · Extraction LEV thorough examination date · Liquid effluent route · Kettle temperature · Duty
Shot Blast / Peening	Blast media · Blast pressure · Media reclaim / separator · Throughput · Extraction LEV thorough examination date · Rated power · Duty
Degreaser / Parts Washer	Solvent / detergent used · Solvent class · Bath temperature · Bath change interval · Extraction LEV thorough examination date · Liquid effluent route · Duty
Curing Oven (Paint)	Thermal output · Cure temperature · Fuel / energy source · Line speed / dwell time · Heat recovery fitted · Extraction LEV thorough examination date · Duty

Anything not listed is recorded under “Other Surface Finishing & Treatment” — no list of industrial equipment is ever finished, and a register that pretends otherwise forces people to pick something untrue.
