Painting Process
After a part has been molded and requires paint, it goes on a conveyor line where
it is taken to the paint department. The paint department consists of hand spraying booths and robotic painting booths. The robot spray booths use a three
station Thierica reciprocation sprayer. The painted parts are then conveyed through a gas fired infrared oven before they arrive in the inspection and packaging area.
