Smoke and paint production lines
Alexandria Engineering Industries designs and manufactures integrated production lines for industrial paints, coatings, and specialized smoke fluids used in entertainment, defense, fire safety testing, and agricultural applications. Our systems combine precision mixing, dispersion, and formulation control to ensure consistent quality, safety, and performance—whether producing architectural paints, industrial enamels, or non-toxic smoke solutions.
1. Paint & Coating Production Lines
Applications
- Architectural paints (emulsion, gloss, matte)
- Industrial coatings (epoxy, alkyd, polyurethane)
- Automotive primers and finishes
- Anti-corrosion and marine paints
- Powder coating pre-mixes (liquid stage)
Key Features
✅ Batch or Semi-Continuous operation (50L to 5,000L batches)
✅ Explosion-proof design for solvent-based paints (ATEX compliant)
✅ Stainless steel (SS304/316) wetted parts
✅ PLC automation with recipe management and viscosity monitoring
✅ CIP (Clean-in-Place) for quick color/formula changeovers
2. Smoke Fluid Production Lines
Applications
- Entertainment: Stage fog, concerts, film/TV effects
- Fire & Safety Training: Simulated smoke for drills
- Agricultural: Pest control fogging (with active ingredients)
- Military: Obscurant smoke screens (non-toxic variants)
Typical Formulations
- Water-based: Propylene glycol, glycerin, deionized water, food-grade additives
- Oil-based: Mineral oil or food-grade paraffin (for low-lying fog)
- Additives: Fragrance, corrosion inhibitors, or active agents (e.g., insecticides)
Production Process
- Heated Mixing Tank: Precise blending of glycols, water, and additives at 60–80°C.
- Homogenization: High-shear mixer ensures uniform solution.
- Filtration: 5–10 micron filters for nozzle protection in smoke machines.
- Cooling & Storage: Temperature-controlled holding tanks.
- Filling: Automated bottling or drum filling with leak-proof sealing.
Key Features
✅ Non-toxic, food-grade compliant materials (FDA/REACH)
✅ Closed system to prevent moisture absorption
✅ Viscosity & pH control for consistent fog density and machine compatibility
✅ Modular skid design for small-batch or high-volume production
