In early 2021, VK Avtotransportnyk LLC approached TWEKO for the installation of painting equipment — an Italian TERMOMECCANICA GL painting and drying chamber in Ukraine, measuring 16×5×5 m — as well as the design of ventilation for the painting workshop. After negotiations with several companies, the client chose TWEKO for its professional approach, and we successfully completed the project, ensuring not only high-quality painting of specialized vehicles but also improved personnel safety, consistent results, and optimized coating material costs.

The project aimed to ensure high-quality application of coatings on vehicles repaired at the facility. This required the installation of a modern Italian-made painting and drying chamber and the development of an efficient ventilation system. A particular challenge was the lack of a prepared foundation for the equipment, necessitating additional work.

Design of the Ventilation System for the Painting Workshop
- Thoughtful design: developed considering the workshop’s specifics, maintaining necessary cross-sections and airflow capacity.
- Precision engineering: TWEKO provided detailed drawings, enabling the client to independently manufacture and install air ducts without issues.
- Efficiency: the system ensures optimal air circulation for the chamber’s operation, creating ideal painting conditions.
