An automatic painting plant guarantees a consistent finish quality (removing the variables introduced by the operator), a faster cycle and higher hourly output, lower paint consumption thanks to precise control of the application parameters, and a lower labour cost per unit produced at high volumes. Manual plants remain the best choice for flexible production, small batches or parts with widely varying geometries that require operator intervention. Varco International works with the customer to identify the solution best suited to the volume and type of production.
