Dürr Builds High-Tech Paint Shop for Ford in Mexico
SOUTHFIELD, MI – Dürr has built a high-tech paint shop for Ford in Hermosillo, Mexico, in order to accommodate a new vehicle that Ford will be producing. The new replacement paint shop is located next to the existing stamping and assembly plant. It makes clever use of local climatic conditions and targets modern technology, the latest digital solutions, and high painting quality.
The mechanical and plant engineering company, Dürr, constructed the entire paint shop for Ford Motor Co., which included low- and high-viscosity material supply systems, robotic paint and sealer application equipment, and other process automation technology. In addition to two painting booths for a three-wet process, Ford uses a dedicated booth for two-tone painting by masking. Arranging the two-tone coating separately creates flexibility and ensures highest efficiency of the conventional coating line.
