o provide a solution that allows to paint diverse components with greater efficiency without waste, Dürr has developed EcoPaintJet, which allows the
application of paints over large areas or in simple patterns with high edge definition and without overspray. The new applicator, which has won this year’s innovation award “Deutscher Innovationspreis”, is part of the new overspray-free application set from Dürr. EcoPaintJet is already used in automotive series production and has made it possible to paint car roofs in contrasting colours with no masking. Now, it is also available for other industry sectors, such as woodworking, shipbuilding, electronics manufacturing, and many others.
More options for painting The EcoPaintJet applicator delivers precise coating with no overspray. This increases coating efficiency and offers companies more options when it comes to product design and the transportation of goods. Instead of adhesive film, decorative surfaces can be protected for transport through the targeted application of a spray film. This can be simply pulled off again at the destination. The technology also enables new options for the function and design of products. “The overspray-free application set enables application with high edge definition, fast color changes, and a custom surface design,” says Holger Beiersdorfer, Vice President Industrial Products at Dürr, in summarizing the benefits.
