Objective
The project has been completed with success: the objective of implementing a system able to produce a paint starting from colorants and modules has been reached.
Working prototypes of the dispensing circuit, of the mixing machine, and of the software package have been realized. A complete prototype of the whole system has not been built because the investment it requires is not justified for a test system. However, the prototypes built allowed us to perform extensive tests that give a high confidence on the success of the complete system.
Today technology of paint obtention cannot ensure both quality and colour requirements of the user, without affecting the final price. All colours are even not obtainable, by current systems, not talking of quality.
New developements in the field of chemical formulation, along with innovative techniques of dosage and computer optimization, could solve this price/ performance ratio.
Purpose is to develop new bases with a formulation technique, pigments conditioning and dosing machine to reach a high level of flexibility (storage, colour, performances) with on-line feed-back quality control.
Project implies chemical R&D, but also a complete redevelopment of dosage and mixing techniques, including much more accurate devices, not available as such on the market, and complete process integration, along with extensive use of computer optimization of formulation, in time and quantities delivered, for a highly versatile product.
