PAINTING LINE DESIGN ACCORDING TO SPECIFIC NEEDS
The design of a painting line can range from being fully manual with both the transportation from one process to another and the paint application being handled manually to a semiautomatic or full automatic painting line, where the transportation and/or application is automated.
Manual Painting Lines
A manual painting line is suitable when flexibility is crucial, e.g. when painting large, complex items or items of varying sizes and shapes. With many color changes, a manual paint application can also be the best solution.
The painting lines are designed with the required boxes and cabines for cleaning, pre-treatment, application and curing, and all processes are separated and ventilated according to needs.
Automatic Painting Lines
If there is a need for a painting line with large capacity, a full-automatic painting line is the best way to ensure an efficient and reliable painting process. In other situations, a semi-automatic line with manual handling of some of the processes can be the best solution.
In a fully automatic painting plant, the items are transported automatically from one process zone to another either on overhead conveyor, floor-mounted conveyor, power and free-conveyor or roller conveyor, and the paint application is performed by use of robots.
The complexity of an automatic painting line varies a lot depending on item type, capacity needs and surface treatment. Moldow’s many years of experience makes us specialists in designing these complex painting lines, where the design and composition of the different process zones ensure a final result that meets expectations.
Moldow designs and supplies a range of industrial painting lines for both wet paint and powder coating systems.
Each line is customized to suit the material being painted – whether metal, plastic, or wood – and the specific production requirements and layout of each customer.
The possible solutions includes manual, semi-automatic, and fully automated lines with advanced processes, air-handling, drying and curing, and auxiliary systems to ensure top-quality finishes and high energy efficiency.
Moldow’s painting lines are designed to handle and treat a variety of product types and materials, including:
- Metal components – for industrial machinery, consumer goods and architectural parts.
- Plastic parts – especially automotive interiors & exterior parts but also consumer goods and electronics.
- Wood – for furniture, panels and decorative items.
Each line is engineered with the correct pre-treatment, temperature control, and air balance to ensure optimal adhesion and finish quality for each material type.
Both wet paint and powder coating lines are used to apply protective and decorative coatings, but they differ in technology and performance:
- Wet paint lines use liquid paints and are suitable for materials like plastic or wood, or when special finishes (metallic, gloss, etc.) are required.
- Powder coating lines use dry powder that is electrostatically applied and cured, offering superior durability and environmental performance — ideal for metal products.
Moldow provides both types and can advise on which process best fits your product type, throughput, and finish requirements.
Powder coating and wet painting are both popular methods for protecting and finishing metal parts, but they differ in application, durability, and environmental impact.
| Aspect | Powder Coating | Wet Painting |
| Application method | Uses an electrostatic process to apply dry powder that is then cured in an oven. | Applies liquid paint using spray guns or dipping, followed by air or heat drying. |
| Durability | Forms a hard, uniform surface that resists corrosion, chipping, and UV exposure. Ideal for heavy-duty industrial use. | More prone to scratching, fading, and corrosion over time. Often used for decorative finishes or low-stress environments. |
| Environmental impact | Eco-friendly – no solvents or VOC emissions; overspray can be recycled. | Less sustainable – contains solvents that release VOCs during drying. |
| Finish quality | Provides a smooth, even coat with excellent color retention and gloss consistency. | May show drips, uneven thickness, or orange peel if not applied carefully. |
| Cost-effectiveness | Lower long-term cost due to material reuse and reduced maintenance. | Lower initial cost, but typically higher lifetime maintenance. |
In summary, powder coating lines offer a more durable, consistent, and environmentally friendly finish compared to wet painting — making them the preferred choice for industrial and metal fabrication applications. Moldow’s systems are engineered to maximize these advantages with energy-efficient ovens, precise air management, and advanced automation.
Yes. While Moldow primarily supplies painting lines to customers across Europe, we also deliver specialized systems worldwide, particularly for the automotive industry.
Moldow has unique expertise in painting lines for automotive plastic components, such as bumpers and trim parts. These projects require highly precise air handling, temperature control, and contamination management – areas in which Moldow has decades of proven experience. Because few suppliers globally can match this level of technical capability, Moldow’s automotive plastic painting lines are exported to clients worldwide, supported by our engineering and service teams to ensure reliable performance and long-term operation.
Moldow’s powder coating lines are primarily supplied to European production companies. If you are located outside of Europe and are interested in a Moldow powder coating line, please contact our sales team to discuss your project — we will assess feasibility and provide guidance on how we can best support your needs.
Yes. All Moldow painting lines are built with energy-saving features such as high quality panels, insulation of needed walls and pipes to ensure heat conservation and efficient components design. In addition, extra energy efficient systems and features can be included such as heat recovery systems, controlled air recirculation, and efficient exhaust filtration. These reduce both energy costs and environmental impact, while maintaining strict process stability.
