An energy-efficient paint plant is a game-changer for manufacturers looking to improve productivity and sustainability. At Designplan, our paint plant is one of the most critical elements of our operation, with over 90% of products requiring a painted finish. Every product includes at least one painted component, most have three or more.
The Challenge with Legacy Equipment
In recent years, we experienced rising downtime due to the limitations and reliability issues of older systems. This not only impacted production schedules but also increased maintenance costs and energy consumption.
Our Technological Upgrade
To overcome these challenges, we invested in a state-of-the-art paint plant designed for efficiency and sustainability. This upgrade delivers:
- Higher Production Capacity – Meeting growing demand without compromising quality.
- Automation – Reducing manual processes for consistent, reliable results.
- Lower Downtime – Advanced technology minimises unplanned maintenance.
Efficiency and Sustainability Benefits
The new system isn’t just about performance, it’s about reducing environmental impact. Key improvements include:
- 15% Less Paint Usage – Optimised application reduces waste.
- 20% Lower Energy Consumption – Cutting energy use saves costs and supports sustainability.
- 18.5 Tonnes CO₂ Reduction Annually – A significant step toward greener manufacturing.
Why Energy Efficiency Matters
Energy-efficient paint plants help manufacturers reduce operational costs, improve reliability, and meet sustainability goals. By investing in advanced technology, businesses can achieve both economic and environmental benefits.
