Automatic paint dispensing system improves customer service

Abstract

An automatic paint dispensing system installed at W & J Leigh of Bolton has eliminated traditional methods of manual tinting and shade matching to improve production rates and bring greater flexibility. The Eurotinter, supplied by OBS Machines of Milton Keynes, delivers precise quantities of stainers according to batch size to give an exact shade in one dispense. W & J Leigh report the system typically saves at least 1.5 man hours per batch over the previous method of manual adjustment and shade correction. When the system is complete and all the formulations stored, the time to complete a batch tinted to any shade will be reduced from overnight, to less than 1 hour.
