Industrial painter EFZ [Swiss certificate of competence]
Industrial painters coat the surfaces of machine parts, equipment and other industrially manufactured products made of metal, plastic, wood, glass, paper and textiles. This protects the items from rust, mechanical damage and rot. Furthermore, the coating serves to improve the appearance, refine and maintain the value of the products. As you can see, this profession allows you to design machines while maintaining their value.
Industrial painters prepare the material using various techniques. As part of the process, they level out unevenness with a spatula, sand surfaces or wash them with degreasing agents. Other treatment methods include phosphating, chromating or sandblasting.
They apply paint with a spray gun and occasionally by dipping or brushing. Depending on the intended use, the parts are coated, fired or labeled with foils differently. After their work, industrial painters clean the equipment and recycle or dispose of the waste properly. At work, our industrial painters always comply with safety, fire protection and environmental regulations. Working at RUAG is therefore extremely varied and sustainable.
