Guide to painting conveyor frames and machine guards

Conveyor frames and machine guards need a clean, keyed and corrosion-protected coating system because edges, bolt points and safety covers often see handling, vibration and regular cleaning.

What do you need to paint conveyor frames and machine guards?

Cleaning and degreasing

Mipa silicone remover and Mipa silicone remover spray remove wax, grease and silicone before sanding, priming or coating.

Hand sanding support

MP Hand Block Soft helps keep flat steel sections, guard panels and frame edges evenly keyed before cleaning and primer.

Epoxy acrylic corrosion primer

Mipa EA 100-20 gives steel, galvanized steel, aluminium, GRP and e-coated surfaces a strong primer layer before the industrial topcoat.

Semi-gloss chassis topcoat

Mipa PU 265-50 is a 2K PU HS industrial chassis paint for durable semi-gloss colour on frames, guards and exposed steel parts.

PU hardener and thinner

Mipa PU 912-25 normal, Mipa PU 914-10 short and Mipa 2K Thinner Normal V 25 support correct curing and spray viscosity for the compatible 2K PU coatings.

How to paint conveyor frames and machine guards

1
Clean the steel first

Remove grease, wax and silicone with the liquid or spray silicone remover, then let the metal surface dry fully.
2
Key the surface evenly

Use the soft hand block to flatten old gloss, feather edges and prepare corners without rounding guard-panel profiles too aggressively.
3
Prime exposed or stressed metal

Apply Mipa EA 100-20 where corrosion protection and a stable base are needed before the final industrial colour.
4
Apply the semi-gloss finish

Coat the prepared frame or guard with Mipa PU 265-50, using the compatible hardener and thinner for the chosen application method.
5
Check edges and fixings

Inspect bolt holes, sharp corners and overlap areas before return to service, because these are common points for coating damage.

Which coating products should you choose for conveyor frames?

Choose EA 100-20 for the primer stage

Use the epoxy acrylic primer where bare steel, galvanized steel, aluminium or stressed mixed metal needs a stronger corrosion-protection base.

Choose PU 265-50 for the visible finish

Use the semi-gloss chassis topcoat for conveyor frames, guards and cover panels where a durable industrial colour finish is wanted.

Choose liquid or spray cleaner by access

Use liquid silicone remover on larger open surfaces and the spray format around profiles, recesses and detailed guard shapes.

Technical details

Mipa EA 100-20 is listed as a 2K zinc phosphate epoxy acrylic primer for steel, galvanized steel, GRP, e-coating and aluminium.
Mipa EA 100-20 is specified in the source data with Mipa PU 914-10 hardener and Mipa 2K Thinner.
Mipa PU 265-50 is listed as a semi-gloss 2K PU HS industrial chassis paint in price groups I, II and III.
Primer and topcoat edges should be protected carefully because conveyor guards and frames are often handled during maintenance.

Practical suggestion

Remove removable guard panels before coating whenever possible, label fixing points and keep bearing faces, labels and moving contact areas free from paint.
