1、B2BBX ONE-STEPPAINT LINE CLEANING PROCEDURE SEPTEMBER, 1991 BZBBX Page 1 1. SCOPE: circulation-to-the-gun (pressure differential or branch line) paint circulating system. This method is recommended for systems that: This standard defines a cleaning and maintenance procedure for a Have not been clean

Experience a significant decrease in flov rate. Require frequent adjustments to reset either the return back pre
3、ssure valve to the supply line bypass valve to maintain desired flow rates. (Investigation should determine that this condition is not attributable to faulty valves, worn pumps, improper fluid viscosity, etc.). 1.1 Circulation period in each system will depend on the type of paints, nature and amoun
4、t of buildup in the lines and time since last cleaning. Do not short cut on time required to do an effective job. 2.

6、etallic colors. Do not use M99B180A(F) more than tvice. Procure enough clear resin for two to three systems or color 1ir.c fills. Material is reusable. 3.

8、.1 Concentrated vapors of these materials may be harmful when inhaled. Ventilation should be adequate to control vapors. Chemical goggles and impervious gloves shall be worn by all employees handling these materials. The safe handling and use instructions for these materials can be obtained from the
9、 li-Materials and Toxicology Do not contaminate paint booth water wash system with used solvents or strippers. These materials will liven paint and foul te paint booth sludge handling system. 4.2 4.3 Used solvents should be placed into tagged (or clearly icientifiad) drums for subsequent reust, recl
10、amation or disposal. 4.4 Removed paint should be placed in clean druss for later use. 4.5 The discharge of solvents and paint strippers is restricted by the Metal Finishing Regulations which require that these producto be prevented from entering the plant waste water straam. 4.6 The following may oc
11、cur after and old or saverely fouled paint system is cleaned: pump failure pipe joint leakage or failure (e.g. unions, elbows, etc.) 4.7 Do not mix clear resin flushing solution and the cleaning agents. Under certain conditions of use, such as temperature elevations, a clear resin flush can plate ou
12、t on pump impellers and cause subsequent seizure. Also, dried clear resin deposits are extremely difficult to remove. A clear resin flush is used just prior to loading paint to remove loose deposits, especially in the drops. Always verify with the paint supplier that the clear resin flushing materia
13、l is compatible with the paint. 4.8 Completely plugged lines or sections of lines are usually rodded prior t-chemical cleaning. FORD ”UFAmING STANDARDS - B2BBX ONE- STEP PAINT LINE CLEANING PROCEDURE B2BBX SEPTPIBER, 1991 Page 3 4.9 When blowing out a pipe line with air, all discharge should be into
14、 the paint circulation tank (located in the Paint Hix Room). The tank cover should be clamped shut to insure proper venting. 5.0 OTHER INSTRUCTIONS: 5.1 When old or new booths and old or new lines are being reworked while other system sections must be kept operational for production, certain section
15、s of the paint circulation system may be isolated and cleaned separately according to this procedure. Up to three systems can be combined in series for this type of cleaning. A pump, a suitably sized reservoir are usually required to do this cleaning. New sections require a H99B18iA(F) flush only. 5
16、.2 5.3 Experience has shown that the cleaning process can be expedited by transferring the cleaning materials from clean system directly to dirty system tanks. MUJ260 (shown on manufacturing standard MlW200) is the recommended preservative for clean, inactive paint liner. Do not use clear resin as a
17、 preservative. 6. CLEANING PROCEDURE: 6.1 6.2 6.3 6.4 PRIOR TO CLEANING, HONITOR THE FOLLOWING: Calculata proper flow rate and system pressure Mersure flow rato In CPn Walk the system A. Remove all filters from the line and the tanks. B. Remove all hoses including automatics. On each line to be clea
18、ned, identify and tag all the valves and restric- torr. Pump paint out of tanks. Push remaining paint out of circulating system by loading one drum of a paint compatible solvent to act as a physical buffer between the recoverable paint and the M no. M99B18lA(F) S-575 pre-cleaner. Fill system with M
19、no. M99B18U(F) (S-575) pre-cleaner. Circulate the M no. M99B18lA(F) (5-575) pre-cleaner and verify flow at all drops by closing the bypass and opening the supply side, then closing the supply side and opening the return side. Then closed ehe return side and reopen bypass. FORD UA“ACIURING STANDARDS
