In the fall of 2024, KozakWorkshop — a family-run workshop crafting oak products sold on Etsy, eBay, and Amazon — approached TWEKO to improve its painting process. By spring 2025, TWEKO completed the delivery and installation of an exhaust chamber with dry filtration under DDP terms.
In September 2024, the owner of KozakWorkshop, a family workshop located in Ivano-Frankove, Lviv Region, contacted Techservice VEKO and Partner GmbH LLC (TWEKO) to enhance the application of coatings on wooden products. Established in 2014, the workshop specializes in creating unique oak items — religious icons, crosses, and home decor elements, blending traditional craftsmanship with innovative technologies, and successfully selling them on international platforms like Etsy, eBay, and Amazon.
Objective
The project aimed to ensure high-quality and safe application of coatings on KozakWorkshop’s wooden products sold on international platforms like Etsy, eBay, and Amazon. The client sought compact yet efficient equipment meeting the following criteria:
- Effective dry filtration to maintain a clean working environment.
- Powerful airflow for uniform and high-quality coating application.
- Compact dimensions suited to the workshop’s space constraints.
- Reliability and ease of maintenance for long-term operation in line with international market quality standards.
TWEKO proposed an exhaust cabinet with dry filtration, model ASS-Comp-2, which fully met these requirements due to its technical specifications and convenient compact design, and was delivered and installed under DDP terms.
Implementation
The equipment was delivered to the client’s address, and installation was completed by the TWEKO team in March 2025, adhering to all safety requirements. TWEKO also provided accommodation for the installation crew, as stipulated in the agreement.
After signing the contract, TWEKO manufactured the ASS-Comp-2 painting chamber with the following specifications:
- Overall dimensions: 2 × 0.5 × 1.9 m
- Exhaust zone dimensions: 2 × 1.9 m
- Effective filter area: 3.4 m²
- Airflow capacity: 6,500 m³/h
- Total motor power: 3 kW
- Air velocity in the working zone: 0.25–0.4 m/s
- Power supply: 3-phase, 380 V, 50 Hz
Installation Features: Air Duct Configuration
To ensure the efficient operation of the ASS-Comp-2 painting chamber in KozakWorkshop’s compact space, the TWEKO team configured the air ducts to vent through the workshop’s exterior wall. The ventilation system was mounted on a metal platform attached to the wall, optimizing equipment placement and ensuring uninterrupted exhaust of used air. A specially prepared wall opening with metal framing guarantees airtightness and protection from external elements, while the system’s 6,500 m³/h capacity rapidly removes harmful particles, creating safe working conditions for artisans.
Benefits for the Client
The ASS-Comp-2 painting chamber brought KozakWorkshop the following benefits:
- High-Quality Coating: An airflow capacity of 6,500 m³/h and air velocity of 0.25–0.4 m/s ensure uniform and reliable coating application, enhancing the competitiveness of products on international markets.
- Clean Working Environment: The dry filtration system with a 3.4 m² area effectively purifies air, creating comfortable and safe working conditions.
- Compact Design: With dimensions of 2 × 0.5 × 1.9 m, the chamber perfectly fits the workshop’s available space.
- Cost-Effectiveness and Reliability: The simple design and easy maintenance reduce operating costs and ensure stable equipment performance.
Conclusion
The project for KozakWorkshop exemplified successful collaboration between a family workshop and TWEKO. The installation of the ASS-Comp-2 chamber significantly improved product quality, which is critical for sales on international platforms like Etsy, eBay, and Amazon. TWEKO once again demonstrated its ability to deliver tailored technical solutions, providing a full cycle from design to installation.
TWEKO
The modernization of KozakWorkshop’s painting process is another example of how TWEKO supports small businesses in growing and meeting the high standards of international markets, combining engineering precision, quality, and a human-centered approach.
