The ideal candidate will ensure consistent coating quality while maintaining safety, cleanliness, and process documentation.
Key Responsibilities
- Clean manganese phosphated and grit-blasted components using compressed air to remove dust and surface contaminants.
- Handle components carefully to prevent scratches, dents, or other physical damage during processing.
- Inspect components to ensure they are free from grease, oil, burrs, moisture, oxidation, and other foreign particles before coating.
- Verify that grit blasting is uniform across all specified surfaces and arrange re-blasting when required.
- Maintain a clean coating environment using proper exhaust and dust control systems.
- Mask areas where coating is not required using masking tape, Teflon tape, or rubber sleeves according to drawings, DBI, or customer specifications.
- Suspend components using binding wires at non-critical locations to facilitate uniform coating.
- Monitor environmental conditions, ensuring:
- Room temperature is maintained between 10°C and 40°C.
- Relative humidity remains below 85%.
- Component surface temperature is at least 3°C above the dew point.
- Record temperature and humidity readings for every production batch in the process sheet.
- Prepare the required Xylan coating solution according to production requirements and mix thoroughly using a mechanical stirrer to achieve uniform consistency.
- Coat a test sample along with production components to verify coating thickness and process compliance.
- Verify spray booth cleaning status before starting production.
- Maintain spray air pressure between 6 and 8 bar during coating operations and document actual readings.
- Apply Xylan coating uniformly using a Pilot P59 air spray gun or equivalent spray equipment.
- Allow coated components to air dry using designated jigs or fixtures before subsequent curing or processing.
- Complete all production records and process documentation accurately.
- Follow company quality standards, safety procedures, and housekeeping practices at all times.
Required Skills
