Hi-Tec Spray has moved the Banbury factory's paint supply equipment and connected it to existing pipework to distribute paint to the production line for use on bumpers and other automotive components for a number of leading car manufacturers.
The paint kitchen is air-conditioned, enabling Decoma to control the environment and keep the coating at precisely the right temperature, resulting in greatly improved gloss levels and quality of finish.
Once the coating material leaves the paint kitchen, it is circulated around a stainless steel pipework system to a number of spraybooth enclosures which contain both automatic and manual application equipment.
