Speed without compromising
quality or coverage
QADs™ is an innovative and internationally patented system that supplies additional air flow from the corners of the spraybooth cabin. The clean, filtered and heated air provided by QADs™ creates the ideal environment for the fast, controlled flash off of waterborne base-coats and the rapid through curing of low VOC top coats.
The disruptive airflow from the QADs™ nozzles, together with an elevated air temperature accelerates the evaporation of water from the paint coating. Unlike some other systems, QADs™ covers the whole vehicle in one operation ensuring consistent drying of waterborne base-coats.
Unrivalled performance on the curing cycle
Conventional spraybooths are inefficient in raising the lower panels of a vehicle to the required curing temperature. This is because warm air rises to the top of the cabin whilst cooler air descends to floor level. Also, the air passing over the lower panels has already been cooled by the substrate above. Differences of 10-15°C are not uncommon. Baking times are extended, taking up more valuable booth time and energy.
Heated air from QADs™, however, envelops the whole vehicle including the lower panels, ensuring that the recommended temperature is achieved quickly. On most spraybooth ovens QADs™ will achieve the lower panel temperature of 60°C within 10 minutes, specified by many of today’s motor manufacturers.
