Paint Systems

Automotive Paint Systems

The John E. Green Company is a leader in the installation and piping of automotive paint facilities. We have installed entire paint systems and major subsystems in automotive plants throughout the eastern half of the United States.

Our experience includes:

Fully automated and computerized paint mix rooms supplying as many as 43 paint colors
Paint circulating systems with in-line heat exchangers or modularized heat exchangers
Both automated and manual paint applications systems, including:

          -Behr Industrial electrostatic spray systems with reciprocators

          -GMF, DeVilbis and KOBE paint manipulators/applicators

E-coat, phosphate, sealant and urethane systems
Sludge removal systems

Many of our projects have involved upgrades of existing paint systems to meet the requirements of new high-solid paints and new technology for application. We have installed new paint stations and applicators in existing paint facilities and repiped circulating systems to handle higher viscosity paints all on rapid turn-around schedules to protect plant production.

Production never stopped on Ford paint lines in Atlanta and Minneapolis while John E. Green installed new Behr Industrial automatic paint applicators. In both projects, we installed pipes and equipment within six inches of where cars were being painted. Absolute control of dirt and dust was critical. Despite the challenging conditions, John E. Green completed both projects on schedule with no production shutdowns.

The John E. Green Company is the nation's leading installer of the Behr Industrial electrostatic spray paint application system. We have installed Behr equipment in numerous plants, including:

Chevrolet - Flint, Michigan GM - Farmingham, Massachusetts
Chrysler - Newark, Delaware GM - Linden, New Jersey
Chrysler - Sterling Heights, Michigan Inmont - Southfield, Michigan
Dupont - Madison Heights, Michigan Nissan - New Smyrna, Tennessee
Ford - Atlanta, Georgia Oldsmobile - Lansing, Michigan
Ford - Lorain, Ohio PPG - Flint, Michigan
Ford - Ohio Truck Ford - Minneapolis, Minnesota
Ford - Wixom, Michigan  

   

John E. Green installed a computerized paint system at one of the world's most modern small truck plants. Operators monitor and control the system from a color graphics terminal in the control room. We installed the entire paint circulation system, including the paint storage area, an 80-tank mix room with associated equipment, heat exchangers, paint stations, sealer system, and the waste solvent disposal system.

Intricate job-site coordination was required to complete a 20-color mix room and paint circulating system at an automotive plant in Baltimore. The system was installed on the second floor of an existing building, with only one access for all the contractors working in the area. Careful planning enabled us to deliver a fully operational system on time.   

John E. Green completed a paint system upgrade 10 weeks ahead of schedule at Ford's Lorain, Ohio plant. The plant is the site of Ford Thunderbird and Mercury Cougar production. The project involved installation of both a new paint circulation system and a new application system for the paint booths.

The automated color changers at this truck plant can be programmed to switch colors for each vehicle on the line. The color changers are part of a complete paint mix and circulation system installed by John E. Green. The system feeds 60 paint stations. Each paint booth also has 4 special color pumping systems, with separate mixing and circulation.
