For years at Eurotherm we have been working on the design and construction of painting systems that satisfy the automotive sector. A success story that tells of how the trust of the main players in the sector derives from a single mission: maximum quality.
In fact, the automotive sector is perhaps the area in which, more than any other, the machinery supplied must satisfy stringent requirements in terms of quality . The high competition in this case does not only concern the aesthetic contribution of the finished product, but also its durability and reliability, reasons that make it essential to aim for the highest possible quality.
From this perspective, it is clear that pre-treatment and painting are a critical phase : creating tailor-made systems capable of responding to the demands of the sector is fundamental for us and these are just some of the systems that we have supplied to companies in the sector in recent years. automotive companies who turned to us:
In recent months we have also dealt with four new projects in this area.
Tractor axle pretreatment tunnel
If tires are the tractor’s shoes, axles can be considered the legs of wheeled agricultural machinery. Today, in fact, technical progress has led to enriching the axles with steering systems and suspension devices with cutting-edge performance which makes them increasingly complex, while at the same time having to resist the considerable stresses due to the important loads supported, the irregularities of the agricultural soil and to the operator’s requests.
For a world-class company in the agricultural and construction machinery sector, Eurotherm recently built a 3-stage washing tunnel designed to replace an old and obsolete plant that was dismantled.
With a total length of 45 meters and the ability to process parts at speeds of over 2 meters per minute , this new tunnel ensures unrivaled efficiency and precision in the tractor axle pre-treatment process.
Pre-treatment and liquid painting system for earthmoving vehicles
We have also recently created this system for an important international metalworking company which includes:
- a shot blasting cabin with grit recovery system,
- a washing cabin with liquid recovery system,
- two preparation/sanding cabins,
- three pressurized liquid painting booths.
Taking into account the specific needs of the customer, we have created this system ensuring maximum quality and reliability in every phase of the painting process, ensuring that each cabin is equipped with a roof with automatic opening and closing pneumatically operated, sliding or with two doors, for the entrance of the overhead crane.
Immersion pre-treatment plant for tractor chassis
The tractor cab frames are like a labyrinth and arise from the combination of sheet metal, profiles, masks and millimetric technologies. For a company that is a leader in the global market and has been active since the early 1900s, we created an immersion pre-treatment plant ( dipping line ) for the pre-treatment of the chassis of earth-moving vehicles.
The new pre-treatment plant, which replaces the old one which was dismantled, is developed in 12 stages to allow truly optimal pre-treatment.
Oven for drying liquid paint of automotive components
Finally, for another international company, we created a drying oven with activated carbon for automotive components: carbon parts and dashboards.
The oven is built to reach temperatures between 80 and 100°C with only electric heating.
