KERB PAINTING MACHINE

KERB PAINTING MACHINE


A road Kerb painting machine is a sophisticated piece of equipment used in the application of markings along road edges, intersections, and pedestrian pathways. It operates by utilizing airless spraying technology to ensure uniform and durable application of paint or thermoplastic materials..

Road kerb painting machines operate by utilizing advanced airless spraying technology to apply paint or thermoplastic materials onto road surfaces with precision and efficiency. These machines are equipped with high-pressure pumps that propel the marking material through a nozzle, ensuring uniform coverage and consistent markings.

METHODS TO PAINTING KERBS STONE

1)Paint Road Kerbs By Hand with Brush and Tape

This traditional method involves manual application using brushes and tape. After cleaning the curb stone surface with a wire brush, workers apply paint manually with brushes, often utilizing tape to delineate areas for different colors. While this method allows for precise detailing, it is time-consuming and can result in high paint consumption and labor costs.

2) Paint Kerb with Paint Sprayer Machine & Template Application

To improve efficiency, workers utilize spray guns with templates to paint curb stones. Templates help maintain clean edges while spraying. Workers apply light colors first, allow them to dry, then cover with templates to spray darker colors. Although more efficient than hand-painting, this method still requires careful positioning of templates and can be labor-intensive.

3) Paint Road Curb Stones with Single Gun Cold Paint Line Striper

For lower curb stones, a single-gun cold paint line striper is employed, allowing workers to push the machine along the curb to spray paint. Light colors are sprayed first, followed by darker colors. Alternatively, two machines may be used for simultaneous spraying of different colors. However, hand-held spray guns may be necessary for taller curb stones.

4) Paint Concrete Road Kerb with Double Guns Cold Spray Road Marking Machine

Double guns hydraulic cold spray road marking machines offer increased efficiency with larger flow rates and stable pressure. These road painting machines, equipped with single or double guns, allow for the spraying of ordinary curb stones. For two-color road markings, such as yellow & black, yellow is sprayed first, followed by black.

5) Paint Skip-line/Double Road Kerb Lines with Dual Color Cold Paint Road Marking Machine

Dual-color cold paint road marking machines streamline the marking process with automatic skip-line functions. These machines can mark yellow & black curb painting lines in a single pass, significantly reducing construction time and labor costs. With large flow rates and the ability to connect with line drivers, these machines ensure precise and efficient marking.

KERBS PAINTING TECHNIQUE

Painting road kerbs involves several steps to ensure proper application and durability of the markings. Here’s a general guide on how to paint road kerbs:

  • Preparation :   

    Clean the surface: Remove any debris, dirt, or loose material from the kerb surface using a broom or pressure washer. A clean surface ensures better adhesion of the paint. Ensure dry conditions: Painting should be done in dry weather to prevent moisture from affecting the paint’s adhesion and drying process.

  • Marking Guideline :   

    Use chalk or masking tape to mark the boundaries of the kerb where the paint will be applied. This helps maintain straight lines and consistent widths for the markings.

  • Mixing Paint :   

    Prepare the paint according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure proper mixing to achieve a uniform consistency and color.

  • Kerb Painting Application :   

    Apply the paint evenly along the marked lines on the kerb surface. Start from one end and work your way to the other, maintaining a steady hand to ensure straight lines.

  • Drying and Curing :   

    Allow the paint to dry completely according to the manufacturer’s recommended drying time. Avoid any foot or vehicular traffic on the freshly painted kerbs until the paint has fully cured to prevent smudging or damage.
