The first step towards automatic painting

The next step when painting with a spray gun and ahe design of a vacuum front cabin can be a headache for many furniture manufacturers and beyond. If you already have a paint shop and are faced with more and more diverse and numerous requests for painting MDF, wood, glass, plastic on a daily basis, then you've probably thought of a few 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 developed by adding the automatic painting line.

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

How can such a finishing system help us improve production?

The automatic dyeing plant has the great advantage that it offers the possibility to have a applicationconstant and thus lower paint consumptionand skilled labour on the painting side is no longer a mandatory requirement, which is again a benefit because it allows a less trained person than a painter to operate the machine. Also, the large surface area of the side filters of almost 4 sqm ensures good air circulation and thus an even application and cleaner car.

Quick colour change is a must when you are a small to medium sized manufacturer and have many different colour panels to make. The PRIMA paint machine is a very flexible one, with 2 circuits for the varnish, 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 lacquers several times a day.

Anothervery important point isproductivity. PRIMA has a generous usable belt width of 1300 mm and the central position of the spray arm allows good application up to speeds of 1-2 m/min. It can thus be understood that our small automatic painter is as flexible as it is fast, being able to achieve a full month's production of the manual painting system in just a few days.

In support of a as easy as possible to maintainThe PRIMA automatic coating machine has a very thin paper film that is wound on a reel and protects the web from the varnish that normally reaches the panel.

Controlling the machine is easythanks to the PLC with 12.1" colour touch screen, from which various settings can be adjusted such as belt feed speed, spray arm stroke, etc.

This is best verified by tests that can be carried out in the CEFLA laboratory in Imola, the world's largest finishing laboratory.

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

And the proof thatThis is the coordination of the more than 100 dyeing lines in our country, of which more than 30painting robotsfor MDF, chipboard, wood, glass or plastic.
