Interview with Kubo Paint Co., Ltd. on the Paint Industry/Paint Sludge Recovery

basic information

■Issue: We want to reduce the time spent on manual labor. In the industrial painting industry, which heavily relies on petroleum-based materials, efforts to reduce environmental impact are essential. Among these, the task of recovering sludge (paint residue) from the water in the paint booth after spraying is also important for environmental measures. However, this process has traditionally been done manually, leading to significant issues regarding work efficiency, added value, and workplace environment. This has been one of the critical challenges for the painting industry in relation to the circular society, such as SDGs and carbon neutrality. ■Reason for Selection: No Consumables "The main reason we chose FILSTAR is that there are no consumables (filters)," says President Kuboi of the company. When using conventional industrial filters to remove sludge from the booth water, the filter becomes industrial waste once it gets clogged and must be incinerated. This poses a significant problem from the perspective of circular economy and carbon neutrality. For the company, which is actively engaged in the research, development, and implementation of cutting-edge eco-painting technology, FILSTAR is a major strategic asset. ―We hope you will download to see the continuation―
