Description
A baking worker (painting business) is a painting specialist who applies paint to metal surfaces such as automotive parts and industrial machinery parts and bakes and dries them in a high-temperature furnace. First, surface treatment is performed using degreasing, polishing, shot blasting, etc., to improve paint adhesion. Then, paint is applied uniformly using a spray gun, etc., and heated to the set temperature (about 150-200°C) in a baking furnace to cure it. During work, organic solvents and high-temperature environments are handled, so safety equipment and adherence to work procedures are required. In quality inspection, film thickness measurement and appearance inspection are conducted, and products meeting the standards are shipped.
