Revolutionize automotive paint shops
The RB 1000i-S paint atomizer mounted on top of the ABB robot improves transfer efficiency by upwards of 10%*, and has the potential to significantly reduce paint waste by a minimum of 30% alongside carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. In addition, major efficiency and cost saving benefits can be realized which have the potential to deliver significant financial savings.
Increased paint transfer efficiency for sustainable car painting
The RB 1000i-S paint atomizer reduces CO2 and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) emissions in automotive paint shops by reducing paint waste as well as the overall energy consumption in plants through a more efficient paint process.
Cost savings can also be significant. For example, where a manufacturer utilizes a 2.5-liter paint solvent borne per car and produces 200,000 cars per factory annually, the RB 1000i-S paint atomizer through its improved transfer efficiency can help to save 50,000 liters of paint per factory. This equates to USD 500,000 in direct financial savings**.
Order the new RB 1000i-S atomizer with a new paint robot, or purchase a service kit to upgrade existing RB 1000i
Customers can order the new RB 1000i-S atomizer with a new paint robot, or they can purchase a service kit to upgrade their existing RB 1000i by replacing only some components such as the bell cup and the shaping air nozzle. The service upgrade kit supports the circular economy and maximizes the lifespan of the existing paint atomizer, increases product durability and reduces waste.
Product variants:
RB 1000i-S-SSD (Solventborne Standard)
RB 1000i-S-SAD (Solventborne Advance)
* Compared to its predecessor, the RB 1000i
** Assuming an average price of USD 10 per liter of paint
