Elevator Powder Coating Line in Russia

Project Location: Russia

Project Overview:

ZHYAO delivered a fully automated powder coating line for a major elevator manufacturer in Russia. The line is designed for elevator car panels, doors, frames, and counterweights, providing uniform, durable powder coatings. The workflow integrates pre-treatment → automatic electrostatic powder coating → curing → online inspection, fully meeting local safety and environmental requirements.

Client Pain Points:

The customer required a solution that could:

Ensure consistent coating on large elevator components with single hook loads up to 200 kg and lengths up to 3.2 m

Improve production efficiency while reducing labor

Minimize powder waste and comply with Russian environmental regulations

Enable real-time quality monitoring to ensure adhesion and corrosion resistance

ZHYAO Customized Solution & Advantages:

Pre-treatment: Spray degreasing and phosphating with online monitoring to ensure surface preparation quality

Conveyor & Handling: Heavy-duty accumulation chain with rotating hooks, capable of handling large elevator components

Powder Coating: Six-axis reciprocating robots with cyclone powder booth for uniform application, high powder recovery, and support for fast color changes

Curing: Natural gas direct-fired oven with controlled temperature zones for stable curing

Inspection: Integrated online coating thickness monitoring and AI-assisted visual inspection for consistent quality

Performance & Benefits:

Production Efficiency: Continuous operation and synchronized multi-gun spraying for stable production rates

Coating Quality: Uniform film thickness, adhesion, and surface finish; robots and reciprocating arms provide precise and repeatable positioning

Material & Energy Savings: High powder utilization reduces waste and lowers energy consumption

Environmental Compliance: Dust and VOC emissions controlled within local regulations, with high powder recovery for over-sprayed material

Labor & Safety: Reduced manpower required, with operators avoiding direct exposure to high-temperature or potentially hazardous environments

Flexibility: Modular design allows future expansion and easy maintenance; HMI supports simple color change and monitoring

The line has been successfully commissioned, producing coatings that meet adhesion and corrosion resistance standards. It operates continuously and stably, serving as a benchmark for ZHYAO in the Russian elevator manufacturing industry.
