"Power&Free" conveyor fully automatic powder coating line
A modern powder coating line was designed and installed for Torm Metall OÜ, enabling the washing and coating of products with dimensions of 4500 x 1000 x 1800 mm. The solution included a chamber-based 7-stage washing line with separate cabins for ferrous metal and aluminium, a combi oven, and a fully automatic "Power&Free" conveyor system. In the combi oven, the residual temperature of the curing oven is utilised in the drying oven, which increases energy efficiency.
Project Challenge
The initial task was to offer and design a modern powder coating line capable of performing both washing and painting of large-scale products. The line had to include multi-stage washing, a fully automatic conveyor solution, a combined oven, and a forced cooling area.
- Maximum product dimensions: 4500 x 1000 x 1800 mm
- Chamber-based 7-stage washing
- Fully automatic "Power&Free" conveyor solution
- Combi oven for drying and curing
- Forced cooling area
How We Built the Solution
A 7-stage chamber-type washing line was installed, where ferrous metal and aluminium have separate washing cabins. The drying and curing oven was implemented as a single combi oven, and the conveyor system was equipped with various buffer areas.
- Seven-stage chamber-type washing line with separate cabins for ferrous metal and aluminium
- Combi oven, where the drying and curing ovens form a single unit
- "Power&Free" conveyor system with various buffer areas
- Manual powder coating cabin with a floor cleaning system
Result
A modern fully automatic powder coating line was completed, enabling the washing and painting of large-scale products. The combi oven solution utilises the residual temperature of the curing oven in the drying oven, which increases the energy efficiency of the line.

Investment in a New Automated Powder Coating Line
We designed and installed a fully automatic powder coating line for Tammer, complete with an Aabo-Ideal gas- and electric-heated curing oven and a Gema paint booth operating 16 automatic guns. The monorail conveyor has a load capacity of 100 kg per metre. In addition, we built out the compressed air and ventilation lines. The entire installation was completed in May 2023, having started already before Midsummer.
Powder Coating Automatic Line with Power&Free Conveyor
For Sami AS, for whom we built a two-chamber liquid painting line in 2020, we established an automatic powder coating line as part of a production expansion. The solution includes a Power&Free conveyor and a tunnel-type washing automatic line that enables production analysis and future expansion. The equipment is sourced from reliable manufacturers Gema AG, Aabo-Ideal and Hjort-Conveyor.
Automated powder coating line in the modernization project of the Sami Valga factory
We designed and installed a new automated powder coating line at Sami Tootmine's Valga factory as part of a modernisation project worth nearly 9 million euros. The line eliminated a previous production bottleneck, enabling the pre-washing and painting of large-format products as well. The heat recovery solution recovered 35–40 MW of waste heat within just a few months, which is used to heat the production building and welding halls. This is already the third coating line installed at Sami's factories.
