Paint processing equipment holds, moves and cleans the paint between mixing and filling. It includes process tanks, storage tanks, transfer pumps and filtration machines, and it decides how smoothly a batch flows through the plant.
Here you will find each item and how to match it to your batch size and product.
We help you choose the machine that fits your product, batch size and plant, with specification, commissioning guidance and operator training. IPCS (Indian Paints Consulting Service) guides the selection of paint processing equipment, from machine specification to installation, commissioning and operator training.
Available processing & storage equipment options for different production needs
Processing equipment covers the vessels, pumps and filters that surround the main mixing and milling machines: resin reactors, filtration, storage tanks, process tanks and transfer pumps.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the paint processing equipment list for emulsion plants?
A disperser, a let-down tank, a transfer pump, a filter and a filling machine.
What is paint plant processing equipment?
It is the equipment that holds, moves and cleans paint between the mixer and the filler.
What are paint tanks and pumps?
Tanks hold batches and finished paint. Pumps, often air-operated diaphragm pumps for latex, move paint between vessels.
What are paint tanks pumps and filters used for?
Tanks hold, pumps move and filters remove lumps before filling.
What is paint storage equipment?
Storage tanks hold finished paint until filling.
What is the equipment between disperser and filling machine?
A let-down tank, a transfer pump and a filter.
Can you size them?
Yes. We size them from your batch size and product.
