\n Operational context and objectives of the new line <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
\n
\n
\n

Eurotherm reinforces its partnership with the European rail industry with the installation of a complete railway liquid paint plant equipped with advanced heat recovery systems to power production space heating.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n
\n

This new line, designed to support rolling stock maintenance and finishing activities, integrates high-efficiency solutions for thermal control, airflow management, and paint film stabilization. The plant approach adopted makes it possible to combine energy sustainability, coating quality, and operational safety, three central elements in liquid coating processes in railways.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n

\n Railway liquid coating: control of process parameters <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
\n
\n
\n

In industrial railway painting, the quality of the coating depends not only on the application of the paint, but on the ability to tightly control the critical parameters that affect adhesion, appearance and durability of the film.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Temperature, humidity control, vertical flow, and high cabin air exchange-managed via pressurization AHUs-are the key variables of operational processes that, in the high-speed rail sector, must ensure aesthetic uniformity, anticorrosive performance, and resistance to the mechanical and environmental stresses typical of rolling stock and rail operation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The surfaces of train cars and structural components also have complex geometries and varying dimensions<\/strong>: conditions that amplify the risk of surface defects given by inconsistent drying times and uneven film spreading. Therefore, painting facilities for railroad workshops must be designed to facilitate coating stabilization. Advanced ventilation systems, controlled air exchange booths, stable desolvation, and integrated drying ovens with high-efficiency AHUs make it possible to maintain constant process parameters, optimize energy consumption, and improve finish quality. <\/p>\n

Customized design, combined with the use of advanced thermal control and filtration technologies, is an essential prerequisite for ensuring regulatory compliance and consistent performance in liquid railway coating processes<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n
