Replacement of the New Paint Line Conveyor
At the Viking Window window factory, the worn-out manual paint line conveyor was replaced with a new Hjort-Conveyors conveyor, which uses two carriages on each hanging boom instead of one. This ensures greater stability and reduces deformations and product drop-offs. A simple control system was created for the solution to configure and monitor the conveyor's operation.
Project challenge
The existing painting line conveyor had by then become worn out and required replacement. As this involved replacing an existing solution, the fundamental logic of the conveyor had to be retained, while improving reliability and stability.
How we built it
We installed a conveyor from the Swedish manufacturer Hjort-Conveyors, which differs from the previous one in that each suspension boom has two carriages instead of one, by means of which the conveyor runs along the rail. To turn the products around in the painting area, we used a special turntable. On the automation side, simple control was created for the conveyor, enabling the conveyor's operation to be configured and monitored.
- Hjort-Conveyors conveyor
- two carriages on each suspension boom (instead of the previous one)
- special turntable for turning products around
- simple control system for configuring and monitoring operation
What we achieved
- a significantly more stable conveyor thanks to two carriages on each suspension boom
- fewer product deformations
- less dropping of products, which occurred on the previous conveyor with usage intervals
- simple control system for configuring and monitoring the conveyor's operation

Manual finishing booths with drying tunnel and pump cabinets
For a returning customer, we manufactured wider manual finishing booths with a drying tunnel as well as specialized pump cabinets for paint pumps, into which safety leak trays were integrated. The solution was designed as a 3D model according to the customer's requirements, and in addition to the booths and pump cabinets, we organized all partition walls, doors, and finishing technology. The result was a fast and seamless implementation and a satisfied customer who received exactly the solution they wanted.
Manual finishing department: two paint booths and a drying tunnel
We established a dedicated manual finishing department for a long-term client to produce custom orders. We installed two 3-metre-wide finishing booths, six finishing pumps, a drying tunnel, and in-house manufactured GRINO drying trolleys. To ensure worker safety, we added barriers and fast-opening doors that separate the finishing area from the rest of production. The new department operates flawlessly and successfully fulfils all custom orders.
Renovation of a Door Manufacturer's Finishing Workshop – MAKOR Automatic Line and Manual Finishing Booth
An automatic finishing solution, MAKOR SPRAY & DRY – M, was designed and installed for a Central Estonian door manufacturer, together with a manual finishing booth built by Elister. The heart of the finishing process consisted of GRACO PerformAA automatic paint guns with Merkur-series pumps, and the ventilation was interfaced directly with the Makor system, which detects the operating equipment and adjusts the working modes. The entire system was designed, installed and commissioned into working order precisely during the factory's collective holiday, resulting in an energy-efficient and safe finishing environment.
