Water Wash Spray Booth Paint Sludge Recovery

Since 1991 water wash spray booth paint sludge recovery has been one of US Centrifuge's most common and successful applications with many installations throughout North America. It requires knowledge and experience to properly move paint solids to the point of extraction where they can be collected and fed to the centrifuge for separation and removal. We have unequalled application expertise when it comes to properly applying a centrifuge to water wash spray booths along with the widest range of machine models and capacities available.

Centrifugal separation equipment can be designed to fit your particular needs, from a single water wash booth to several. We can inform companies on the newest ways to improve booth efficiency and how to effectively remove paint sludge and other particles from paint booths and washers. By correctly integrating the booth design and paint sludge system it is possible to greatly increase the booth efficiency plus reduce downtime and maintenance. We can assist with and / or completely design paint sludge recovery systems for new and existing paint installations.

Centrifugal sludge removal systems should strongly be considered when the following conditions exist with a water wash spray booth:

• Frequent maintenance down time associated with paint sludge.
• Extra working shifts cleaning or making up production for booth downtime.
• High cost of contaminated booth water and / or wet sludge removal and disposal.

Three important steps to achieving the desired results:

1. Correct sludge system design for the booth and centrifuge application.
2. Selecting the right centrifuge model to effectively handle the paint load.
3. Proper chemical program applied for the specific paint type and usage.

We can help you with all three steps to insure a successful installation!
