Sistema para abastecimento automático em rolo de pintura

Abstract

Residential painting is a primary service widely performed anywhere in the world. The objective of the project was to develop equipment aimed at facilitating this task, adding a certain degree of automation to the stages of the service, which is mostly handmade. The stage of the activity optimized by the project was the wetting process of the roller in the paint bucket, which already has some tools available on the market for its execution, but with disadvantages that were mitigated in relation to the present work. This step is characterized by being repetitive and consuming a large portion of the activity time. The study included the design of an innovative device that allows the roll to be automatically humidified by a pumping system through a diaphragm pump, which sends the paint directly to a device located inside the wool roll. The equipment was designed, and later prototyped in a functional version. As a result, it was possible to reduce, on average, 50% of the paint application time compared to the conventional process.
