When you think about preventing the risks associated with small-business ownership, two things always come to mind: customer service and proper industrial maintenance. These two must provide a safe and enjoyable experience for consumers. However, when things go wrong on a certain day, like one that involves a large amount of machinery crashing into your store’s front walls, it could mean disaster for you and your hard-earned profits.
An electrostatic paint job can make the difference between a smooth operation that leaves customers with a positive experience or one that causes them to be afraid to walk around your store and therefore not purchase anything. Here, we discuss five signs that indicate your store machinery needs to be painted.
Soot and Dried Paint Remnants
The first sign is the most obvious. When dust settles on machinery, it can be easy to overlook. However, once you see soot, paint flakes, or dried paint remnants from an accident, you know you have a problem. The situation will only get worse with time.
Rusty Parts and Bent Components
Just like soot, rust can easily be overlooked by an untrained eye. However, rusty pieces also indicate something is wrong with your machinery. Another sign could include bent parts of your machinery. If you need help detecting them, hire a professional to inspect them. They may recommend an electrostatic coating service, which is even better than a professional paint job.
Odors Involving Machine Oil or Chemicals
If you notice a foul odor coming from your machinery, this might indicate that your equipment and parts are being damaged by leaking fluid. You’ll have to handle the situation differently depending on the fluid type. For example, if it’s machine oil, you can change the oil filter and continue using your machine until you understand what caused it to leak out. On the other hand, if chemicals have leaked out, the situation may be more serious and require further treatment.
Like most signs in your business, you can only be 100% sure about the cause if you conduct a proper inspection. You cannot detect many of these signs because accidents occur so quickly. A skilled artisan can recommend metal polishing to identify and fix the leaks, followed by an electrostatic coating service.
Discoloration & Parts Missing
Discoloration on your machinery can indicate that you need some metal polishing. For example, if your machinery is red, and you notice it turning white or green in a certain area, it might indicate something wrong with the paint. When parts of your machinery are missing, or workers have been hurt during accidents caused by your equipment, you’ll need to act fast to prevent further issues.
Irregular Paint Sprays
Spots on smooth machinery surfaces also indicate that your machinery needs to be repainted. This happens when the paint is applied in an area different from others around it or when the machine has been used in a way that wasn’t intended. These signs also indicate that parts of your machinery are bent, dirty, or damaged. Metal polish and electrostatic coating will help resolve these problems.
