With intelligent manufacturing and flexible production increasingly becoming the mainstream of industry, spray painting production lines are ushering in a new round of technological innovation.

Zhanyao Spray Painting Equipment Technology Co., Ltd. recently launched an accumulating conveyor system, which has been successfully applied in the fields of home appliances, auto parts, and furniture manufacturing, providing a feasible path for the intelligent and flexible transformation of the spray painting industry.

I. Accumulating Conveyor Technology: Making Spray Painting Production More Flexible, Efficient, and Energy-Saving

Traditional spray painting lines generally adopt continuous or intermittent conveying modes, with fixed production cycles, making it difficult to handle the processing of multiple product specifications, and suffering from problems such as equipment idling, high energy consumption, and workpiece collisions.

The accumulating conveyor system, through its intelligent "accumulation-release" control principle, achieves dynamic adjustment of production rhythm, resulting in three significant improvements: Flexible production: It can intelligently adjust the workpiece spacing according to actual working conditions, supporting mixed-line production of workpieces of different shapes and sizes, meeting the needs of multi-variety, small-batch manufacturing; Energy saving and consumption reduction: By temporarily storing workpieces during curing and cooling processes, it avoids prolonged idle operation, reducing overall line energy consumption by approximately 30%; Zero-collision conveying: The system features automatic detection and anti-collision logic control, maintaining a safe distance between workpieces and reducing coating defect rates.

This flexible conveying method not only optimizes the rhythm coordination of the spraying process but also brings greater freedom to the production line layout.

II. Technological Highlights and System Design of Zhanyao Technology

In the development of its accumulation and conveying system, Zhanyao Coating integrated several independently developed technologies, resulting in enhanced intelligence and scalability in practical applications:

Intelligent Scheduling Algorithm: Through MES system integration, workpiece path optimization and cycle time balancing are achieved, improving the overall equipment efficiency (OEE) of the entire line by approximately 15%;

Modular Structure Design: System units can be flexibly combined according to production capacity and factory layout, reducing initial investment and facilitating future expansion;

Real-time Positioning and Traceability Function: Utilizing RFID radio frequency identification technology, each lifting device has an independent number, enabling full-process workpiece tracking and providing data support for subsequent quality analysis.

The head of Zhanyao's Conveying Equipment Division explained, "In our home appliance industry projects, the accumulating conveyor system has helped reduce changeover time on production lines by approximately 70%, significantly improving flexible production capabilities."

III. Typical Application Case: Simultaneous Improvement in Efficiency and Quality

After introducing Zhanyao's accumulating conveyor system, a large home appliance manufacturer achieved several improvements in its painting production line's operational data:

Production cycle time optimization: from 5 minutes/piece to 3.5 minutes/piece;

Improved energy utilization: annual electricity savings of approximately 250,000 RMB;

Reduced coating defect rate: workpiece dent rate decreased from 3‰ to below 0.5‰.

Through systematic upgrades, the company successfully achieved simultaneous production of multiple product models, effectively improving production efficiency and yield, and significantly reducing overall manufacturing costs.

IV. Future Outlook: Intelligent Conveying Drives New Upgrades in the Painting Industry

With the deepening development of Industry 4.0 and intelligent manufacturing, accumulating conveyor equipment is becoming a crucial supporting component of painting production lines.

Zhanyao Coating is continuously developing a new generation of intelligent accumulation and conveying systems, integrating cutting-edge technologies such as 5G communication, digital twins, and real-time data analysis to create a more efficient and visualized production management platform.

Through continuous technological innovation and application practice, Zhanyao is committed to driving the leap from automation to intelligence in coating equipment, providing stable, energy-saving, and scalable conveying solutions for customers in various industries, and helping manufacturing enterprises achieve high-quality and green development.
