With over 450 companies, the fifth PaintExpo in Karlsruhe from 8-11th April will have more participating exhibitors than ever before. Exhibitors from 23 countries will present solutions for more efficient liquid painting, powder coating and coil coating on more than 133,000 sq ft of net exhibition floor space. Offerings which cover a broad variety of industries and materials encompass the entire process sequence from pre-treatment, right on up to quality control and packaging.

Exhibitors will present products, processes and services exclusively from the field of industrial coating technology at PaintExpo at the Karlsruhe Exhibition Centre from the 8-11th of April, 2014.

“PaintExpo 2014 will not only showcase the world’s most comprehensive offerings for liquid painting, powder coating and coil coating, it will also present innovations, further developments and new trends in all of the sectors represented at the exhibition.

Numerous live demonstrations will await the visitors”, reports Jürgen Haußmann, managing director of event promoters FairFair GmbH.

For example, the demonstration of UV technology which cures the painted object within a matter of seconds in an inert gas atmosphere is at the peak of interest. At another booth, a compact, fully-automated powder coating machine will coat small parts in continuous operation.

An innovative light tunnel allows for reliable inspection of painted auto bodies. Visitors will be able to see for themselves how quickly and reliably defects are detected at a live demonstration. Where conveyor technology and automation of the painting process with robots are concerned, various ‘moving’ exhibits will substantiate just how flexible and adaptable these systems are today, and how easy they are to programme.
