Today, coatings on storage tanks, wind turbines, and other industrial structures, coatings are typically applied manually. While rolling is very time-intensive, manual spraying results in overspray, creating a hazard for both workers and the environment. Furthermore, this increases paint waste and, thus, costs.

Qlayers’ patented spray shielding allows to coat with virtually no overspray (<1%), in contrast to manual spraying with overspray of 30% and even more in windy conditions. Besides saving paint and making the process more environmentally friendly, this enables to spray coat even at areas where otherwise rolling is required due to legal restrictions. Furthermore, automating the process allows to conduct most coating works from safe ground, reducing hazards for workers.

The unique spray technology can be integrated in different actuation systems, such as a crawler, a robotic arm with an AGV or a CNC system to match the individual requirements of each use case. This allows to coat all kinds of structures, such as storage tanks, container ships, wind towers, blades, and more.
