Paint Mix Rooms for Industrial and Commercial Operations


Paint mix rooms are an essential part of industrial and commercial painting applications, providing paint storage, mixing and fluid delivery, and paint dispensing. An integrated paint mix room also improves efficiency in your process, ensures precision, and helps to maintain worker safety. Various industries including aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing use paint mix rooms for a controlled environment to handle hazardous materials and increase workflow. Here are some of the main applications of paint mix rooms, including paint storage, fluid delivery, and paint mixing and dispensing.

Paint Storage
Paint mix rooms are designed to store paint, solvents, and other chemicals in a safe and compliant manner. When dealing with flammable or hazardous materials, these rooms provide compliance for safety regulations required by organizations like OSHA. Some benefits include: 

  • Temperature Control: Paint mix rooms have heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to control temperature and humidity that could potentially damage the paint consistency
  • Explosion-Proof Lighting and Equipment: Using highly flammable paints and solvents require explosion-proof lighting and ventilation to reduce any risk of fire or explosions
  • Chemical Segregation: Storing different types of chemicals separately prevents reactions, spills, or contamination

Fluid Delivery
Fluid delivery ensures the correct amount of paint reaches the spray gun or application system. Paint mix rooms can be integrated with fluid delivery systems to move the paint from a storage tank to the application. This helps to:

  • Reduced Waste: Direct fluid delivery systems minimize waste, so the exact amount of paint is used for each application.
  • Consistency: Automated fluid delivery creates a uniform finish and ensures consistency to the spray booth
  • Safety: Operators don’t need to manually transfer paint, which reduces the risk of spills or exposure to harmful chemicals 

Paint Mixing and Dispensing
One of the functions of a paint mix room is to accurately mix and dispense paints to meet the specific requirements of each project. You can ensure the correct mix of paint is used with automated or manual systems in the paint mix room. Customized options include: 

  • Automated Mixing Systems: These systems calculate and mix correct proportions for each component to ensure every batch of paint is identical
  • Dispensing Systems: You can equip your paint mix room with a dispensing system to feed the mixed paint directly to the application area to reduce contamination and waste
  • Safety and Environmental Considerations: Paint mix rooms have multiple safety features to ensure the safety of your workers and the facility environment

Paint mix rooms are an integral part of your finishing system to provide a controlled environment for paint storage, fluid delivery, and mixing and dispensing. Rohner designs and builds paint mix rooms integrated with your finishing systems to ensure product quality and operational efficiencies for your industrial finishing processes.
