Power Up to Cut Down on Energy
Electrocoat rack stripping is a substantial cost to coaters, so it is imperative to use practices that reduce high energy requirements and identify techniques to minimize these costs that contribute to the electrical contact defects.

Better filtration, less money
Keller set out to develop a sustainable process which incorporates a dry separation system for wet paint overspray. The result is a system they say reduces overall costs up to 85% by using a regenerative filtration system that eliminates disposable filter media or water based wet scrubber costs, as well as minimizing related energy consumption.

Better Burning
Regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs) are effective pollution control devices widely used to destroy up to 99.9% of VOCs in paint shop process air streams by burning at temperatures to 1,500°F.Heating air to those kinds of temperatures requires a lot of energy, so RTO suppliers are constantly developing new ways to make their RTO units more energy-efficient.
