“Revive, Optimize, sustain – The Smart Way to Extend Plant Life”
Paint shops are among the most capital-intensive assets in any manufacturing facility. Over time, wear and tear, changing product demands, and outdated technologies can affect their efficiency, quality, and sustainability. At Sidharth Automat, we offer Plant Health Audits to assess, revive, and future-proof your existing infrastructure.
What is a Plant Health Audit?
A Plant Health Audit is a comprehensive, structured inspection of your paint shop assets — covering mechanical, electrical, structural, and process-related components. It helps identify:
- Bottlenecks and inefficiencies
- Corrosion, leakage, or energy losses
- Obsolete systems and potential upgrades
- Equipment approaching end-of-life
- Non-compliance with safety or emission norms
🧩 Key Areas We Evaluate
- Pretreatment (PT) & CED Tanks
✔ Check for tank lining degradation, rusting, leaks
✔ Evaluate piping, risers, eductors, agitators
✔ Inspect heating systems (burner/electric/heat pump)
- Booths & Enclosures
✔ Air balance, duct leakage, overspray handling
✔ Dry/wet booth performance
✔ Booth wall condition and lighting
- Baking Ovens
✔ Burner calibration, heat uniformity
✔ Exhaust heat recovery scope
✔ Insulation condition & seal integrity
- Air Supply Units & EC Fans
✔ Filter clogging, motor efficiency, airflow mapping
✔ Retrofit potential for EC fans, IE5 motors
- Conveyors & Material Handling
✔ Chain, track, rollers, drives, and alignment
✔ Skid condition, lubrication & energy loss check
- Electrical Panels & SCADA
✔ Panel health, overload protection, logic errors
✔ SCADA performance & energy monitoring capability
- Sludge Systems & Water Pits
✔ Tornado/ESKA sludge units
✔ Circulation piping, pit cleaning systems
