Abstract

This article traces how paint straining equipment has been developed to keep pace with the progress in paint manufacture towards larger and faster batch production of better quality coatings. Advances in straining machines to handle thixotropic and highbuild coatings are described. Methods of sieving powder coatings are also given together with details of a new machine for removing tramp materials from the over‐spray of electrostatic spraying.
