environment
Cleaner & Greener
The work environment remains cleaner thanks to the built-in vacuum. The overspray control systems can prevent spray mist and thereby protect the environment against pollution.
Overspray control (OSC) captures spray mist at the point of application and so reduces overspray. The effect depends on coating and set-up.
The better material efficiency leads to lower material consumption.
The higher accuracy when applying filler can save material. Depending on the specific use case further hard and soft benefits can be expected.
