INLINE-Instantcoat Konventionell

Savings INLINE vs. Conventional Painting

Saving resources:

• 30% to 90% reduced paint consuption by reducing over-spray

• Paint waste reduced

• Up to 90% reduced part scrap

• No intermediate cleaning or manual part handling required

• Set-up time and cost equal or lower comapred to conventional molding – also at low volume projects

• Saves energy be re-using waste heat from production

• No intermediate storage and minimum manpower
