Spray Painting Efficiency Training in Spokane, Washington
This in-person training program uses 3D Virtual Reality technology to teach and affirm best management practice techniques to show businesses and painters how to reduce hazardous material consumption and waste while reducing environmental impacts.
Time & Location
Nov 02, 2023, 5:30 PM – 9:30 PM
Spokane, 1610 Technology Blvd Ste 101, Spokane, WA 99224, USA
Event Details
Our is geared towards professional painters and paint instructors. The STAR® program was developed by the at the University of Northern Iowa and is dedicated to improving the overall efficiency of manual spray coating operations by enhancing the techniques of spray technicians. This training is brought to you on behalf of the .Spray Technique Analysis and Research (STAR®) and NESHAP trainingIowa Waste Reduction Center (IWRC)Department of Ecology
Details of Training
The training consists of a four (4) hour course, in two parts. The first part is a 1-1.5 hour lecture talking about the various topics of STAR and NESHAP. The second part is a 3D Virtual Simulation where the painters participating in the training will experience painting an auto-body part to show examples of what was taught in the lecture. They will be able to see their transfer efficiency (TE) by color, notice triggering, and view overspray. The gun registers the angle of spray both vertically and horizontally to help the painter adjust to get as direct a spray on the product as possible. The training on average has 10-15 participants per training. The training will cover:
The importance of gun adjustments to achieve proper air and fluid pressure
The importance of good equipment maintenance
Calibration and use of the LaserTouch™ technology
Proper spray gun distance and orientation
Spray overlap and edge painting techniques to achieve maximum efficiency
Benefits
Increasing your efficiency in spray painting is important for many reasons. Minimizing overspray lowers cost as you reduce the volume of paint mixed and sprayed. It can reduce the release of toxic air emissions, potentially reducing health risks associated with exposure and impacts to the surrounding community. Other benefits include:
Reduced Hazardous Waste Generation
Lower Permit Costs (depending on location)
Reduced Health Impacts
Material Savings - An industrial facility can save as much as $40,000 or more annually
Reduced Environmental Impacts
Reduced Environmental Liabilities
Improve Efficiency by 25%+
