Design Improvement on Shipping Container Spraying Production Line

Abstract:

This paper describes the design of a flip-frame mechanism for shipping container spray painting production line. The idea of the flip-frame mechanism is to reduce, to a large extent, paint wastage during spray painting of the quadrangular exterior surfaces of the shipping container. Clamping of the shipping container on the flip-frame is achieved by hydraulic cylinders. A roller chain and a sprocket is used to drive the flip-frame because of their simplicity, strength, ability to work under harsh condition and require little lubrication.
