GIFFIN will show best practices for painting process optimization at FABTECH Mexico 2024

Technologies and solutions for under-section painting are crucial to optimizing production costs in the manufacturing industry.

Although perhaps little thought is given to them, under-section painting technologies significantly contribute to engineers reducing costs and improving quality in automotive painting processes. The company GIFFIN is a magnificent reference for understanding how to implement these systems. As an example, it will present technical contributions and knowledge regarding these processes, which not only impact the reduction of waste but also on the energy optimization and final quality of the product.

Rudy Guzmán, Commercial Director of GIFFIN, highlights the importance of providing details related to these technologies within the framework of FABTECH Mexico 2024, one of the leading industry fairs. This show emphasizes networking and updating on the sector’s advances. Guzmán explains that the under section of the paint booth is a crucial part of the process, where unused paint is recovered, thus avoiding significant waste.

“When you paint a car, 20% is wasted. It is essential to recover this paint through technologies such as the wet and dry under section,” says Guzmán. This recovery reduces the costs associated with the material. It also impacts the energy efficiency of the automotive plant, reducing the consumption of resources such as air-conditioned air, which represents up to 60% of total energy.

GIFFIN will present its specialized under-section solutions at FABTECH México 2024 in Monterrey, NL, highlighting its wet and dry paint recovery systems. Based on water and filters, these technologies allow for efficient overspray capture, ensuring a cleaner and more controlled painting process.

In addition to reducing waste and optimizing energy, GIFFIN’s solutions contribute to maintaining high-quality standards in the final finish of cars. An improperly balanced under-section can contaminate the painting process, resulting in defects that affect the vehicle’s long-term durability and appearance, Guzmán said.

In this sense, GIFFIN’s participation in FABTECH Mexico 2024 seeks to present its products and educate attendees on the importance of understanding the painting process in its entirety. “We want people to understand the painting process, not just buy our products,” he says. With a focus on collaboration and shared knowledge, GIFFIN hopes to attract young engineers and professionals interested in improving their painting processes.
