The first step towards automatic painting

The next step when painting with a spray gun andhe use of a suction front cabinet can be a headache for many furniture manufacturers and beyond. If you already have a paint shop and are faced daily with more and more diverse and numerous requests for painting MDF, wood, glass, plastic then you've probably thought of some solutions.

The logical and natural solution is an automated painting plant. An important gain of this solution is that manual painting does not disappear, but is enhanced by the addition of the automatic painting line.

There are many different automatic painting systems, but the one that impresses most at trade fairs is CEFLA PRIMA robot. CEFLA is the world's leading manufacturer of finishing equipment and lines. And their painting system with a central oscillating arm that sprays parts advancing automatically on a paper-covered belt is the right solution for companies looking for higher productivity than traditional solutions, with equally fast color changeover while keeping costs at a reasonable level.

How can such a finishing system help us improve production?

The great advantage of an automatic painting installation is that it offers the possibility to have a application constant and therefore lower paint consumption, and specialized labor on the painting side is no longer a mandatory requirement, which is again a benefit, because it allows a less trained man than a painter to operate the machine. Also, the large surface area of the side filters of almost 4 square meters ensures good air circulation and thus uniform application and cleaner car.

Quick colour change  is a must when you are a small to medium sized manufacturer and have many different color panels to make. The PRIMA painting machine is a very flexible one, with 2 lacquer circuits, one of which is always clean and ready to be loaded with the next product. There are no longer product changeover times compared to a classic hand pump and gun system. Which is profitable, especially if you need to change the lacquers several times a day.

Another very important point is productivity. The PRIMA painting machine has a generous useful belt width of 1300 mm and the central position of the spray arm allows good application up to speeds of 1-2 m/min. So you can see that our little automatic painter is as flexible as it is fast, capable of a full month's production of the manual painting system in just a few days.

In support of a maintenance made as easy as possibleThe PRIMA automatic dyeing machine has a very thin film of paper wrapped in a reel on the vacuumized feed belt, which protects the belt from the lacquer that normally reaches the panel.

Control is easy thanks to the PLC with a 12.1" color touch screen, from where you can adjust various settings such as the belt feed speed, spray boom stroke, etc.

These things are best checked in tests that can be carried out in the CEFLA laboratory in Imola, the world's largest finishing laboratory.

Equipped with eThe right chips are very important in the painting process, while at the same time good coordination between the manufacturer, the equipment supplier and the varnish supplier is necessary.

And the proof that this coordination operates the more than 100 painting lines in our country, of which more than 30 painting robots for MDF, chipboard, wood, glass or plastic.
