. Electrostatic Paint Plant for A.E.C.
Page 74

PAINT consumption, when spraying copper and steel oil and water pipelines before assembly, has been reduced by 75 per cent. at the Southall works of A.E.C., Ltd., following the installation of an electrostatic painting plant. The equipment used is the American Rans.burg No. 2 type marketed in this country by H. W. Peabody (Industrial), Ltd., 17 Great Suffolk Street, London, &E1.
As in the Statron electrostatic gear described on page 413, the paint is positively charged (in this ease by the output from a transformer) before it is thrown from the spinning head of the "gun," and the object to be painted is earthed.
On tubular pieces such as piping, this method of application is particularly • advantageous as paint application on the object is complete because of the circular electrical field created.
This saves time and paint and, as overspray is much reduced, eliminates the need for elaborate ventilation and extraction equipment.
HEMS MOTORWAY TO BE STARTED THIS MONTH
WORK is to start this month on a new VT motorway to enable traffic to by-pass Stevenage and Hertfordshire villages on the Great North Road, Al.
