Abstract

Öz
Yaşlanmış boya ve vernik katmanlarının ahşap yüzeylerden etkili ve hasarsız bir şekilde çıkarılması hem estetik hem de uzun süreli malzeme kullanımı için oldukça önemlidir. Kazıma veya zımparalama gibi geleneksel yöntemler zaman alıcı ve büyük çaba gerektirmektedir. Ayrıca, boya sökücü kimyasallar gibi alternatif çözümler insan sağlığı ve çevre için önemli tehditler oluşturmaktadır. Bu problemlerden yola çıkılan bu çalışmada, yenilikçi bir çözüm olarak kabin tipi tam otomasyon bir boya temizleme makinesi (CAPREM) tasarlanmış ve üretilmiştir. CAPREM, basınçlı hava kullanarak yüzeye aşındırıcı madde püskürtmek suretiyle ahşap da dahil olmak üzere çeşitli malzemelerdeki boya ve vernik katmanlarını etkin bir şekilde ortadan kaldırmak üzere tasarlanmıştır. Hava basıncı, nozul çapı, fırlatma açısı, fırlatma mesafesi ve besleme hızı gibi parametreleri kontrol etme ve ayarlama yeteneğine sahip olan makine, farklı özellikteki katmanların temizlenmesi senaryoları için esnek bir altyapı sunmaktadır. Ayrıca CAPREM, endüstrideki aşındırıcı medyaların çeşitliliğini artırarak, kaplama tabakasının kaldırılması için çevre dostu bir çözüm sunmayı ve bu sayede birçok sektöre fayda sağlamayı ve bu alandaki araştırmaları ilerletmeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Design and Production of an Environmentally Friendly Cabin Type Full Automation Paint Removal Machine

Abstract

Abstract
The effective and damage-free removal of deteriorated paint and varnish from wood surfaces is vital for both aesthetic and long-term material use. Traditional methods like scraping or sanding are labor-intensive and time-consuming. Moreover, alternative solutions like paint strippers pose significant threats to human health and the environment. To address these challenges, this study introduces a groundbreaking solution: the Cabin Type Full Automation Paint Removal Machine (CAPREM), designed and manufactured. The CAPREM is engineered to efficiently eliminate layers of paint and varnish from diverse materials, including wood, by blasting abrasive media onto the surface using compressed air. With the ability to control and adjust parameters such as air pressure, nozzle diameter, removal angle, removal distance, and feed rate, the machine offers flexibility for various coating layer removal scenarios. Furthermore, by enhancing the diversity of abrasive media, the CAPREM aims to provide an environmentally friendly solution for coating layer removal, benefiting multiple industries and advancing research in this field.
