ACE Market FAQ

Let's get in touch
  • What are the benefits of spraying with electrostatics?

    Electrostatic spraying maximizes efficiency and reduces costs. This technology enhances coating application by charging paint particles, which are then attracted to the surface. This results in:
    - Significant material savings by reducing overspray.
    - Simpler and quicker spray trajectories, whether manual or robotic, improving ergonomy for painter, life-time for robot and cycle time for both. 
    - Lower environmental impact with reduced VOC emissions.
    - Increased productivity due to fewer touch-ups and improved first-pass quality.
    - Improved process repeatability, as electrostatics guide paint droplets automatically—compensating for variations in part position and sprayer alignment. 

    Although electrostatic spraying requires a higher initial investment, its long-term advantages, lower paint consumption, higher transfer efficiency, and reduced environmental impact, make it a cost-effective choice over time.

    A payback analysis is crucial to evaluate Return On Investment, as in most cases, paint savings and improved efficiency quickly offset the upfront cost, resulting in significant long-term profitability.

  • Why should I automate the 2K mixing process of my paint?

    Automating the 2K mixing process brings numerous benefits, including precise ratio control, reduced material waste, and improved production efficiency. Our automated mixing solutions optimize pot-life management, minimize solvent consumption, and reduce human intervention—ensuring consistent mixing quality and compliance with stringent industry regulations while saving time and costs.
     
    In addition of that, automatic mixing machine will open the door to the latest innovations: waste segregation, twice-use of solvent, push-color, last-job anticipation, digital traceability, ...

    Modularity of our solution is a key factor, in order to fit exactly with your need - number of colors, 2 or 3K, low or high pressures, number of sprayers, corrosivity of your paints, ...

  • How to reduce downtime?

    Reducing downtime is possible with the right equipment and maintenance strategies. 
    Sames offers high-reliability spraying and dispensing solutions designed for minimal maintenance and maximum uptime. Our advanced pump and applicator technologies feature durable components, quick-change systems, and automated cleaning functions to ensure continuous operation. 
    By optimizing application efficiency and reducing manual interventions, manufacturers can significantly cut downtime and improve overall productivity.

  • What is the most appropriate spraying technology for ACE parts?

    For most ACE applications, Airmix® (with or without electrostatics) is the ideal technology, offering the best balance between productivity and finish quality. ACE manufacturers often work with high-viscosity paints to achieve thick layers without sagging, and Airmix® ensures precise atomization and high transfer efficiency, making it a highly effective solution.
    For applications requiring exceptional finishing quality, Airspray or Rotary Bell technologies can be used, particularly for smaller or more detailed parts. Meanwhile, electrostatic solutions further enhance material savings and uniform coverage on complex shapes. 
    At Sames, we guide you in choosing the optimal spraying technology to maximize efficiency, durability, and cost-effectiveness.
