Dürr’s innovative, patent-pending EcoProBooth paint booth realizes possibilities scarcely thought possible from a technical point of view up to now. Production no longer needs to be halted for routine maintenance and cleaning work on the application technology. A maximum air recirculation rate of 95% reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions. In addition, interior and exterior painting is combined in a single workstation for the first time. Fewer color changes, thanks to a clever box layout, enable a reduction in VOC emissions. The innovative box is an essential part of Dürr’s new “Paint shop of the future” concept, and also has benefits for traditional line production.
In the automotive industry, the variety of models and the manufacturing spectrum within which individual plants need to operate is growing. This means that production needs to be much more flexible in order to be able to cope with demands that will continue to increase. In response, Dürr developed the “Paint shop of the future” concept, based on a visionary layout made up of flexible boxes instead of the conventional rigid line. The beating heart of every paint shop is the paint booth. The EcoProBooth delivers a forward-looking concept that represents a significant departure from previous booths and is precisely tailored to the box layout of Dürr’s “Paint shop of the future”.
