Sustainable separation of overspray

Working with integrated dry separation systems makes paint booths particularly energy-efficient

With its family of dry separation systems, Dürr therefore offers filter systems for different customer needs and budgets, including the fully automatic EcoDryScrubber and the EcoDry X. The EcoDryScrubber uses natural limestone powder to separate the paint overspray occurring in the paint booth. Reuse of the saturated limestone in the cement industry closes the loop to ensure a particularly sustainable, waste-free cycle.

The EcoDry X, on the other hand, uses replaceable and disposable cardboard filters that can even be changed while production is running, if necessary. The disposable cardboard filter system thus opts for a low investment and can still benefits from the energy-saving potential of a dry separation system, achieved for the first time in the EcoDryScrubber.

The following video compares wet and dry separation, including EcoDryScrubber and EcoDry X, with regard to aspects of sustainability.

Of all the processes involved in automobile manufacturing, the paint shops consume the most energy, because applying paint and drying the bodies is extremely energy-intensive. Dürr's paint shop with EcoQPower system, which networks all energy flows to supply all process steps, reduces CO2 emissions by 19.2 percent over the entire life cycle compared to systems without this system.
