Oven Modifications (Extension)

• Introduce 3-wet new paint technology to apply primer, base coat and sealer without intermediate curing
• Extended oven connection zone to achieve proper cure time at higher conveyor speed
• Installation and testing of new Fanuc paint robots

• Increased capacity from 68 to 72 jobs per hour
• Reduced footprint – eliminating primer spray booth and primer oven
• Lower environmental footprint (CO2 and VOC emissions)
• On time delivery and installation to highest customer praise
