TWEKO designed, manufactured, and commissioned a custom paint booth with a dry filtration system for an enterprise specializing in the fabrication and processing of large-scale metal structures. The solution was implemented as stationary equipment with a linear layout and fully integrated engineering systems. The project was executed in accordance with the specific production requirements of the customer — from engineering design and equipment manufacturing to installation and commissioning directly at the production site.
About the Client
The project customer is TAD, an industrial enterprise and Ukrainian manufacturer of special trailers designed for transporting oversized, heavy, and non-standard cargo. The company’s production facilities are located in the Khmelnytskyi region of Ukraine.
TAD specializes in the development and production of trailer equipment tailored to individual customer requirements and serves the needs of logistics, industrial, and infrastructure projects.
High-quality surface preparation, painting, and drying of large-scale metal structures play a critical role in TAD’s production process. Given the size of the products and the specific nature of their portfolio, the company required paint booth and drying equipment customized to match their product range, workshop layout, and internal technological processes.
Solution
TWEKO developed a comprehensive engineering solution for painting and drying large-scale metal structures, taking into account the specifics of TAD’s production, product dimensions, and the layout of the existing workshop. The project covered the full scope of work — from detailed engineering and structural adaptation to equipment manufacturing, installation, and commissioning on site.
At the core of the solution is a stationary paint booth of the IKFS series, model IKFS-Z, featuring a linear layout and fully integrated engineering systems. This approach ensured a logical organization of the technological process, stable processing conditions for extra-long products, and seamless integration into the existing production infrastructure without changing the overall workshop logistics.
The booth is equipped with:
- Supply and exhaust ventilation system with controlled air supply and extraction, creating stable conditions in the working area during application of liquid coatings.
- Dry air filtration system, including a supply air pre-filter, ceiling fine filters, and floor cassettes for capturing paint overspray.
- Thermo-ventilation units integrated into the booth structure, providing air heating and circulation across various technological modes.
- Centralized electrical control panel with status indication of main units and zone-based parameter control, including management of operating modes, lighting, and drying phases (purge, temperature ramp-up, drying, cooling).
- Safety interlocks and monitoring systems that prevent equipment operation under unacceptable temperature, pressure, or engineering system conditions.
- Safety and status indication systems for engineering components, including monitoring of fire damper positions within ventilation modules.
The ventilation and filtration system was designed to meet requirements for dry capture of paint overspray while protecting engineering components. Process control is implemented through a centralized electrical panel with zoned parameter monitoring, allowing operators to manage painting and drying processes according to production needs.
The solution was executed as a fully custom project, adapted to the specific operating conditions and product range of the customer, with a strong focus on reliability, process controllability, and industrial-grade durability.
