PAINTING LINES – PAINT SHOPS FOR PLASTIC COMPONENTS
Plastic Painting Lines with High Right-First-Time (RFT) Ratio
Achieving a flawless finish on plastic components requires a high-quality painting line. Moldow has developed extensive expertise in painting plastic and synthetic materials over the years, including interior and exterior automotive parts, mobile phone casings, automotive plastic parts, television enclosures, and lampshades.
To ensure the best product finish, Moldow’s paint shops feature high-quality pre-treatment processes, dust-free environments, and precise control of air currents. These elements are critical in delivering consistent, superior results that meet or exceed customer expectations.
What a Moldow Plastic Paint Shop Offers:
- Superior Quality Finishes
- Continuous and Reliable Operation
- Energy Efficiency and Optimization
- High Operational Reliability
A typical Moldow paint finishing installation includes all the essential process zones: loading and unloading stations, cleaning and pre-treatment areas, spray booths, flash-off zones, curing ovens, and cooling zones. Each zone is designed for optimal performance and integration, ensuring a seamless operation.
Customized Paint Lines for Automotive and High-Precision Plastic Parts
Our plastic paint lines are engineered to minimize contamination between zones, ensuring the high-end quality required for complex plastic components, especially in automotive and high-precision industries. We achieve this through a meticulously designed downdraft ventilation system that provides precise control of extraction and inlet airflows, reducing the risk of contamination and ensuring a clean environment throughout the painting process.
Moldow’s paint shops are built to align with customer specifications, ensuring high-quality delivery and consistent, reliable guidance throughout the project. For turnkey painting systems, we collaborate with leading suppliers of specialized equipment, such as robotic systems, spray equipment, and sludge management solutions, guaranteeing the highest standards across every aspect of the painting line.
This comprehensive approach ensures our customers receive a fully integrated, high-performance painting solution that meets their needs and delivers consistent, superior results.

ADVANTAGES OF MOLDOW’S PAINTING LINES FOR PLASTIC PARTS
Moldow designs and manufactures customized painting lines for plastic components — from various consumer goods to complex automotive parts such as bumpers, dashboards and trim pieces.
Our lines combine advanced air technology, automation and temperature and humidity control to deliver top-quality finishes with maximum efficiency.
-
Advanced Air Handling and Cleanroom Technology
A perfect finish on plastic surfaces requires stable air conditions. Moldow integrates its own high-efficiency air handling and filtration systems, maintaining precise overpressure and laminar airflow in spray booths. This minimizes dust contamination and ensures consistently clean coating results — even for high-gloss applications.
-
Flexible System Design for Any Scale
From manual spray booths to fully automated robotic painting lines, Moldow tailors each system to any product geometry, throughput, and space constraints. A flexible design and needed knowhow makes it easy to integrate pre-treatment, flash-off, drying, and curing zones while ensuring the required output quality.
-
Expertise in Automotive Plastic Painting
Moldow is among the few suppliers worldwide with in-depth experience in automotive plastic painting technology. Our systems are designed to meet the stringent cleanliness, temperature, and humidity requirements demanded by automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, ensuring flawless surface quality and high repeatability.
-
Energy Efficiency and Environmental Responsibility
Our systems are optimized for low energy consumption, combining airflow optimization, air recirculation and heat recovery. This not only reduces operational costs but also supports compliance with environmental regulations and sustainability targets.
-
Proven Global Installations and Support
While Moldow primarily serves European customers, we have delivered numerous specialized plastic painting lines for the global automotive industry including production facilities in Mexico, USA and India. Our technical expertise and reliability have made Moldow a trusted partner for international OEM projects that require precision, cleanliness, and long-term durability.
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.
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.
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.
