Note: The racking system for lacquer drying can be used - Drying room (not included)
Note: The drying room for lacquer can be used
Production Rates
- Cleaning time between color changes: ≈ 5 minutes
- Start-up time: ≈ 5 minutes
- Shut-down time: ≈ 5 minutes
Garage Doors Example: Every Door a Different Color
- Average European garage door has a 4.000 mm width with 4 panels
- Total panel length: 4 m x 4 panels = 16 lm
- Painting time: 16 lm / 10 lm per minute = 1,6 minutes
- If every door is a different color, 5 minutes for cleaning between each door
- Total time for one door: 6,6 minutes
- Production per hour: 9 doors (144 lm)
Logistics Doors Project Example: 30 Doors All the Same Color
- Logistic door dimensions: 3.500 x 3.500 mm with 6 panels
- Total panel length: 3,5 m x 6 = 21 lm
- Painting time: 21 lm / 10 lm per minute = 2,1 minutes
- If the logistics doors all have the same color, 5 minutes for cleaning after the 30 door job
- Total production time: (30 doors x 2,1 minutes) + 5 minutes = 68 minutes
- Total time for one door: 2,3 minutes
- Production per hour: 26 doors (546 lm)

Labor and technical details
Labor Requirement
- Only one worker is required to operate the system:
- Cleaning the system when changing colors
- Quality control of inbound panels
- Overall quality control
- Depending on the production volume and panel lengths, additional workers may be required for loading and unloading panels (automated handling optional)
Painting and Labor Comments
- Spray painting panels requires quality work with attention to detail
- Spray painting is unpleasant, boring and hazardous work
- Workers must wear protective clothing and respirator masks, which are hot and uncomfortable to wear
- There are many health hazards from long-term paint exposure
- Door companies have difficulty keeping painting workers
- High pay for workers is often not a solution — auto painting jobs typically pay more.
- The system eliminates spray painting labor and requires no special skills
Technical Details
- Solvent base paint (water base paint optional)
- Constant fluid flow rate
- Pulsation free system prevents spray pattern variation
- Fluid output: up to 2.000 cm3 per minute
- Unique pump changeover technology ensures consistent meteringand fluid flow rates
- Mixing accuracy +/- 1% due to the innovative pump changeover technology
- Continuous mixing auto-adjustment
- Injectmix technology allows injecting a custom catalyst volume into a continuous flow of base for best mixing quality
- Automatic component management: base and hardener
- Low air pressure: max 6 bar
- Volume of flushing solvent limited to real mixed material
