Reference Project — Sample Configuration
Spray Paint Production Line
Mid-Range · 1,600 cph · High-Viscosity
Target Customer
Manufacturers producing spray paint for automotive, industrial, or decorative applications. Handles high-viscosity pigment suspensions with mixing ball insertion.
Equipment Configuration
| Model | Equipment | Why This Choice |
|---|---|---|
| FD9204 | Desktop Liquid Filler | Rated for viscous paint concentrates. Larger nozzle diameter for pigment suspensions. |
| FD9953 | Automatic Glass Ball Dispenser | Drops 1-4 mixing balls per can. Stepper motor drive, synchronized with fill cycle. |
| FD9301 | Benchtop 1-Inch Sealer | Cr12 steel jaw. PTFE contact seals for solvent resistance. |
| FD9402 | Desktop Gas Filler | LPG/DME propellant. Quantitative fill with pressure control. |
| FD9405 | Booster Pump | 304 SS + PTFE. Spark-free for flammable propellants. |
| FD9955 | Hot Water Bath | Leak testing with explosion-proof motor. |
Production Process
| 1. Can Loading | Operator places empty can on filling station |
| 2. Mixing Ball Drop | FD9953 dispenses 2-3 glass balls into empty can — essential for user shake-mixing |
| 3. Liquid Filling | FD9204 fills paint concentrate (200-400 ml). Agitated feed tank prevents pigment settling. |
| 4. Valve Insertion & Sealing | Operator places 1-inch valve → FD9301 seals with solvent-resistant PTFE contacts |
| 5. Propellant Gassing | FD9402 injects LPG/DME. FD9405 pump transfers propellant. |
| 6. Leak Testing | FD9955 water bath: 3-5 min at 55-65°C |
| 7. Coding & Packaging | Batch coding + actuator + overcap + carton packing |
Estimated Budget
| Core Equipment | $35,000 – $48,000 |
| Ball Dispenser (FD9953) | $3,000 – $5,000 |
| QC Equipment | $8,000 – $12,000 |
| Agitated Concentrate Tank | $2,000 – $3,000 |
| Installation & Commissioning | $4,000 – $6,000 |
| Total Investment | $52,000 – $74,000 |
Facility Requirements
70-90 m². Production: ~40 m². Pigment/concentrate mixing area: ~15 m². Solvent storage (ventilated): ~10 m². Finished goods: ~15 m².
Operators: 3-4 workers. Concentrate mixing and filling may require separate personnel.
💡 Why This Configuration
The FD9953 ball dispenser is the differentiator — manual ball insertion is slow and inconsistent. Automating this step saves one operator and ensures every can gets the right number of mixing balls. Agitated concentrate tank is essential — without it, the first cans get thin paint and the last cans get sludge.
