The Eco-Primer Series is an industrial-grade, automatic painting system designed for structural steel profiles and plates. Integrated into a roller conveyor line (ideally following a shotblaster), it uses a sophisticated sensor-driven spray system to detect the workpiece and apply coating only where needed. This is the ultimate "clean-shop" solution for high-volume fabricators and steel service centres.
Key Technical Specifications:
Process: Automatic Pass-through Airless Spraying.
Configuration: Multi-gun arrangement (Top, Bottom, and Sides) for 360° coverage.
Workpiece Detection: Optical sensors ensure guns only fire when steel is present (Zero paint waste).
Paint Compatibility: Optimised for water-based or solvent-based shop primers.
Extraction: Integrated dry-filter or water-wash filtration for overspray management.
Drying Station: Optional heated "Dry-Off" tunnel for immediate handling of finished steel.
Control: PLC interface to adjust conveyor speed and paint flow rates.
Top 5 "Eco-Primer" Advantages:
360° Uniform Coating: The multi-gun layout hits every flange, web, and edge simultaneously. You get a consistent Micron thickness across the entire batch, meeting strict architectural and engineering specs.
Dramatic Paint Savings: Because the sensors detect the exact start and end of the beam, there is virtually zero "overspray" into empty space. Most shops report a 20-30% reduction in paint consumption.
Labour-Free Finishing: Eliminate the need for a dedicated "painting crew." A single operator managing the conveyor can process tons of steel per hour that would take a manual team days to finish.
Cleaner, Safer Workshop: The fully enclosed booth keeps overspray and VOC fumes out of the general workshop air, improving safety for your team and making EPA compliance easier.
Faster Lead Times: When combined with a drying tunnel, steel can be loaded onto trucks minutes after painting. No more waiting for "dry-to-touch" trestle space.
