FAQs

Given the impracticality of stocking all components for the various models of burners from different manufacturers in our vans, we highly recommend purchasing a critical spares package for items we don't usually carry. This ensures we can promptly get you back up and running during an emergency breakdown.

Regular data logging is crucial for ensuring your oven distributes heat evenly. By generating a temperature graph, data logs help identify any hot or cold spots that could affect the curing process of components. We recommend performing data logs regularly to maintain optimal performance and ensure the optimal efficiency of your oven.

Our thermal imaging cameras provide an excellent solution for assessing the efficiency of your high-temperature process plant. By identifying heat loss through gaps, openings, or poorly constructed ovens, our detailed thermal imaging reports offer precise recommendations to enhance performance and minimize heat loss.

With extensive experience in the paint finishing industry, from small offline ovens and spray booths to multimillion-pound conveyorised paint plants, combined with knowledge of relevant standards, significant investment in versatile equipment, and the option to set up service contracts, we ensure that Premiere will take excellent care of your paint plant.

Although a burner can lock out due to a faulty component, it is common for many burners to experience lockouts because the service is overdue, or the service interval needs to be shortened. In dusty environments, there may be solutions to address these issues and improve the reliability of your paint plant.

Our motor testing equipment is an excellent preventative maintenance tool that can help avoid downtime. By detecting issues such as bearing damage, misalignment, and loose or unbalanced impellers, it allows for early intervention and minimizes costly delays.

The paint finishing industry frequently encounters airborne particles such as powder and dust, which can be drawn in by powerful burner combustion fans. This can lead to a buildup on the burner head and impellers, causing potential damage and reduced efficiency. To mitigate these issues, we recommend installing a burner prefilter. A prefilter extends the lifespan of the burner head and combustion fan impeller while enhancing the overall reliability of the gas burner.

Control panels are fundamental to the safe operation of your paint plant, managing numerous components throughout start-up, supervision and shut down. We recommend regular examination of control panels during a service. This involves testing component functionality, conducting thermal imaging, and monitoring running currents. Regular control panel inspections are a key aspect of preventative maintenance, which can potentially play a role in preventing future downtime.

Under COSHH regulations, it is mandatory to test all Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems. A thorough examination and test will determine if your LEV system is functioning correctly and effectively controlling workplace contaminants. The thorough examination and test will indicate whether your plant is safe and compliant.

In short – yes, it is highly recommended to have filter gauges on your paint plant. Gauges fitted on plant with disposable filters inform plant operators when the filters require replacement, preventing overdue changes that could lead to a drop in plant performance. Our filter gauges come with green and red indicators, clearly showing when a filter change is due. We can offer the option to use pressure switches which sound an alarm or incorporate lights informing plant operators when the filters require replacing.

It is a requirement to have fan pressure switches on heated plant. Pressure switches should be interlocked to switch off the heat source in the event of fan failure or insufficient pressure. Additionally, they should be equipped with a manual reset feature and an audible alarm to alert plant operators of any faults.

Yes, over-temperature protection, often referred to as high-limit thermostats, are essential for all heated process plants. High-limit thermostats automatically switch off the heat source when a potentially unsafe temperature is reached, preventing overheating. The temperature sensors should be placed at the most critical point of the plant. These devices require manual resetting and should be equipped with an audible alarm to alert plant operators when an unsafe temperature is detected.
