Whatever Your Application, SAMES KREMLIN Offers You the Ideal Technology

What is the right application solution for ideal paint?

All SAMES KREMLIN solutions answer this question that many customers ask themselves. There are numerous technologies available to atomize paint onto parts: pneumatic HVLP or conventional, Airmix®, Airless® (*), electrostatic, powder coating. Finding the right solution can be very difficult for a production manager. The spraying technology must fit perfectly with the customer's production. There are many factors to consider. What type of application is being performed—is it to protect or beautify the surface, on visible or hidden parts? Are the parts complex or simple in design? What material is used—metal, plastic or wood? Is the volume high or low? There are many questions a project manager must solve. SAMES KREMLIN offers a range of solutions to meet customer needs.

Protecting a part requires paints containing chemical properties and high additives. Perfect surface quality is not required. Typical examples include the application of paints to bridges and pavements or oil pipelines.

In this case, the ideal solution is an optimized investment, which is why Airless® (*) technology comes to the fore. SAMES KREMLIN's Airless® (*) solutions provide real added value in a world where simply spraying paint is said to be sufficient. We say absolutely not! There are many situations where protecting a part requires a high level of controlled atomization quality, especially for paints with chemical or mechanical properties at high cost for superior durability. Whether single or multi-component, only transfer quality, dosage and application precision can meet protection and durability expectations in a specification. Beautifying a part requires far more complex characteristics; in terms of atomization quality and also in the applicator's capacity to maintain this quality level even when production output is high. For productions requiring very high surface quality and gloss, there is no choice but to resort to two types of technology: pneumatic spraying or electrostatic bell technology. These technologies provide the best surface quality because they are the technologies that best atomize the paint.

SAMES KREMLIN Airspray HVLP or conventional solutions, even hybrid Airmix® technology for the wood market, provide high efficiency and premium surface quality. Painting visible or hidden parts is a very important entry point for the customer.

This is because it means that the paint applied to hidden parts will be a protective paint requiring powder coating or Airless® (*) type application. For a visible part, higher final coat quality is needed, so solutions like Airspray or Electrostatic Bell are required. Painting complex parts increases cycle time and, if the solution is chosen incorrectly, significantly reduces efficiency. Transfer rates are low and paint consumption can increase. Additional solutions to existing technologies help overcome these challenges in paint applications for protecting or beautifying parts. Electrostatic technology is one of them. It allows the paint to be electrostatically charged and naturally wrap around the part using magnetic fields. For example, with electrostatic technology, a pipe is painted in one pass, but without this technology, the process must be repeated multiple times and paint consumption increases. This efficiency becomes more complex when water-based paints are applied, requiring superior skills for setup, painters and technical service, but the serious savings gains in terms of paint consumption and efficiency are worth the production manager raising questions. On less complex or flat parts, we are talking about protection, finishing and efficiency. Many different technologies exist and it can be very difficult for a production manager to get an idea of the ideal solution. In this case, it is necessary to return to basic concepts. When protective paint is applied, high viscosity properties or fillers require Airless® (*) style technology. For efficiency and high surface quality, you can choose hybrid Airmix® type technology.

These technologies combine high quality finishing and high output rates. If the part is metal, the ideal is to use additional electrostatic technology. On flat metal surfaces, transfer rate can reach 98%.

Paint transfer rate can be a difficult term for customers to understand. Concretely, if 1 litre of spray paint is used and 0.6L lands on the part, the transfer rate is 60%. Technologically, SAMES KREMLIN's approach is to provide the finest atomization of paint combined with a transfer rate as close as possible to 100%, meaning providing finishing and efficiency together. Thanks to its patents and impressive customer references, SAMES KREMLIN has always succeeded in imposing its technologies in the field of spray technologies most used in the paint sector. From the pioneering pneumatic spray gun used in Europe, to the subsequent invention of Airmix® hybrid technology, the creation of SKILL™ Airless® (*) technology and perfect control of electrostatic technology, whether on guns or bells, SAMES KREMLIN is a company that provides its customers with the highest paint savings combined with the highest finishing. It is impossible to deviate from this principle. Our presence with the most well-known automobile manufacturers or the most prestigious customers in the wood, metal or plastics sectors is proof of this.

Manual, automatic or robotic?

A difficult question to answer. Today it is hard to find a good painter. The greatest added value of SAMES KREMLIN solutions is to allow painters to work in the best conditions with the simplest equipment to implement. With Lock and Spray solutions for liquid paint applications, extremely simplified operation of our powder guns, our pumps operating from 0.2 bar onwards or the disarmingly simple control units of our dosing systems, SAMES KREMLIN makes user experience a fundamental value for painters worldwide. Nevertheless, it is difficult for a production manager to find the right workforce, which is why automation and robotization are a real answer to quality production over time. SAMES KREMLIN automatic or robotic solutions allow companies of all sizes to maintain fundamental color care control. From pump to applicator, through its expertise in paint transfer and regulation, friction-free color changes to preserve the exact color required, its capacity to manage almost unlimited color shades, its ability to apply optimized paint volumes on robotic bells, SAMES KREMLIN provides complete and durable solutions. In conclusion, it is important to understand that each production, each application has its own application technology and its own solution. It makes no sense to think that a customer can apply all paints for every application with a single piece of equipment.

The great added value of a historic equipment manufacturer like SAMES KREMLIN is to respond to the customer's exact needs with solutions perfectly adapted to their specifications.

With six complete product ranges—from pump to applicator, Airspray, Airmix®, Airless® (*), Electrostatic, Powder and Adhesive/Sealing applications—the combination of performance, efficiency and durability will provide you with a true customer experience.
