Saving Money and Time on Painting Processes With Nitrogen Tech

Q: How does Vazdelar provide the latest technology in painting systems by electrodeposition?

A: Vazdelar works closely with partners that make the paint, treatment chemicals and equipment. We stay up-to-date on the latest advancements in technology by attending forums and events as well as by being in direct communication with manufacturers.

The deployment of new technology is heavily dependent on the authorization of the automotive and aeronautical industries. Our aim is to meet the latest requirements of all manufacturers and provide the necessary equipment, such as washers, ovens and conveyors, to apply coatings.

Q: How does Vazdelar integrate Industry 4.0 within its product offering?

A: Vazdelar is actively investing in the development of 4.0 technology. Also we are working with a Spanish company in the implementation of machines as “human eyes” for a better control and documentation.

Our manual devices can monitor any process 24/7 any process and we are working with a Spanish company to train human supervisors in the use of the machines for better control and documentation to provide real-time information. The teams are being trained to work with this technology, allowing for the fast identification and prevention of faults or issues. Our goal is for our teams to be fully trained in the implementation of this technology in any continuous process.

Q: How is Vazdelar innovating toward improving nitrogen technology?

A: Vazdelar is promoting a European new nitrogen technology for powder and liquid painting processes. Instead of using compressed air, it uses nitrogen from a nitrogen generator. This brings many benefits, such as saving paint and solvent, best adherence, increasing quality and productivity and reducing flashing zones and the need for retouching.

Vazdelar is bringing Italian nitrogen technology to Latin America. Previously, having a nitrogen generator was expensive but the new online generator technology makes its production cost-effective. Nitrogen ionization is crucial in electrostatic painting. Vazdelar has distribution in Latin America and is now looking to expand to all of South America through distributors.

This technology is not well-known but is very easy to implement and no maintenance is needed. The cost benefits are significant as it offers quick recovery.

Q: What additional benefits does nitrogen painting provide to clients?

A: Nitrogen technology for painting processes saves 30% in expenses, while reducing the use of solvents and being more environmentally friendly. It also results in using less paint and creating a better working environment for the operator, who avoids exposure to some hazardous substances.
