Customer challenge

The surface has to be flawless, while there is also a rising demand for individual colors and intelligent coatings, which are anti-static or anti-bacterial. To better meet these customer requirements, the company needed to replace its ageing coating installation. When selecting the new system, a high degree of productivity was also important – rapid color change, time-saving cleaning and minimal powder consumption.

Our solution

By opting for a coating system with a WAGNER PXM powder center, the color change time now is 20 minutes at a maximum, compared to two hours with the old system. This is possible thanks to a sophisticated design and automation. The system‘s powder recovery process fulfills the customer‘s requirements for a sustainable solution. The WAGNER system also enables safe and ergonomic working conditions, as well as low energy consumption. Julius vom Hofe is now able to meet customer demands in a flexible and yet economically viable manner.
