Service Scope

What's included

  • GEMA automatic gun system integration into existing booths
  • Z-TAP robotic system retrofit for manual line automation
  • ZA01 reciprocator installation into existing line layout
  • Curing oven heating element and burner upgrades
  • Conveyor drive and speed control modernisation
  • Electrical panel upgrades to current standards
  • PT line tank lining and pump replacement
  • Powder recovery system efficiency improvements

Upgrade vs replace

Replacing a full line costs 10–30x more than a targeted upgrade. Most coating lines have a 15–20 year mechanical life with proper upgrades. We assess what to keep, what to improve, and what ROI each change delivers.

Process

How it works

01

Line Audit

We assess your current line: age, condition, bottlenecks, and automation gaps. We document what is working and what is limiting you.

02

Upgrade Proposal

We present a prioritised list of upgrades with scope, cost, downtime estimate, and expected throughput or quality improvement for each.

03

Scope Sign-off

You select the upgrades that fit your budget and production calendar. We plan installation around your shutdown windows.

04

Installation & Commissioning

Our team installs the upgraded components and validates performance before handing back to production.

Applications

Who this is for

Manual lines moving to automation

Adding Z-TAP or ZA01 to an existing booth converts manual application to consistent, documented automated coating.

Lines with ageing equipment

5–10 year old lines typically have components that can be economically upgraded to restore original throughput.

Capacity expansion

When you need more output but cannot justify a new line, a targeted conveyor or oven upgrade may give you 30–50% more capacity.

Quality improvement projects

Switching from manual to GEMA automatic guns reduces variation and improves first-pass yield significantly.

Why OptiFinish

The OptiFinish difference

We know what we are working into

Having installed and commissioned hundreds of lines, we know where upgrade problems typically occur — and how to avoid them.

GEMA and automation integration

We are authorised to supply and integrate GEMA automatic guns and our own Z-TAP and ZA01 systems into any line.

Minimal production impact

We plan upgrades around your shutdown schedule and work fast to minimise line downtime.

Post-upgrade commissioning

Every upgrade includes commissioning validation — we do not hand over until the line is producing to spec.
