PAINT & COATING PACKAGING AUTOMATION
From dusty pails to solvent-heavy drums
Paint and coating automation brings unique demands that standard systems can’t handle. Empty containers arrive dusty from storage. Full containers develop slick surfaces from overspray. Volatile solvents require Class I Division I and II rated equipment, while temperature swings stress electronics and residual product clogs sensors and builds up on tooling.
That’s why we select components for chemical resistance, add climate controls to protect electronics and design end-of-arm tooling that works even when coated with overspray. From empty pail handling through full drum palletizing, our equipment maintains precise control without compromising safety.
Small details matter – like choosing motors sealed against paint dust, using sensors that can read through residue and building grippers that maintain grip force even when handling slick containers. The result: consistent throughput with the industry’s lowest maintenance costs.
Capabilities
- Grips and stacks 5-gallon pails at up to 30 units/minute, drums at up to 10 units/minute
- Vacuum tools handle pails through drums without mechanical changeover
- Industrial-grade corrosion resistant coating withstands daily solvent exposure
- IP65-rated motors prevent paint dust penetration in 24/7 operation
- Through-beam sensors detect containers despite heavy overspray
- Multi-pail tools lift four 5-gallon containers in a single pick
