It is almost inevitable to apply automation systems in order to make more efficient and economical production in surface finishing processes. It is very difficult today to meet the various needs and intense demands in coating processes without automation systems. Coating plants include a wide variety of equipment, different structures, techniques and coating processes. Therefore, different functions and equipment are compatible with process automations. Some of these equipment are:
- transfer equipment;
- coolants;
- loading and unloading equipment;
- moving and mixing parts;
- tanks and special equipment;
- ventilation;
- filters;
- rinsing equipment;
- rectifiers;
- chemical dosing systems;
- heaters;
- water treatment equipment.
Correctly programmed coating automation provides great advantages to the system.
For example: Efficient loading of facilities and bathrooms, less manpower, hygiene in the workplace, control of the desired coating quality, no human-induced errors, controlled chemical consumption, controlled increase in capacity, low energy consumption, time savings, changing the order according to the process.
