Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A profession that applies paint to the surfaces of industrial machine parts such as pumps to provide rust prevention, corrosion resistance, and weather resistance through industrial painting operations.
Description
Pump painters grind and clean the surfaces of pump bodies and piping parts in factories or painting booths, perform appropriate priming, then apply primer, mid-coat, and topcoat. They use spray guns or rollers to control paint film thickness and uniformity. For baking paints, they manage drying furnace temperatures and set timers to finish the painted surface to meet quality standards. Masking and protective work prevent paint splatter, and after painting, they perform film thickness measurements and appearance inspections, repainting or repairing defects. High safety awareness and chemical handling knowledge are required.
Future Outlook
Stable job demand is expected due to equipment maintenance and renewal needs in manufacturing. In recent years, with stricter environmental regulations, workers knowledgeable in water-based paints and energy-saving baking technologies are highly valued. The adoption of automation and robot painting technologies is advancing, increasing the market value of highly skilled workers.
