CDR Pompe reaffirms its commitment to quality and reliability with the installation of the new Paint booth, an investment designed for Improve protection, finish, and durability of centrifugal pumps produced at the Bollate plant.
In the processing industry, painting represents an important part of the production chain, a fundamental protective barrier against corrosion and chemical attack. Upgrading the painting system means raising the standard of customer service: from selected materials to process traceability and the quality certification that distinguishes CDR (ISO 9001).
The CDR pumps, specifically, are provided RAL 5021 any other coloring subject to customer specification. Thanks to specialized personnel, we are able to provide painting cycles C4, C5, and CX for more aggressive and corrosive environments.
What Is a industrial Paint Booth?
A paint booth is a technologically controlled environment where painting application and subsequent drying/curing operations take place. The system integrates regulated airflow, filtering stages, calibrated lighting, extraction devices, and often drying ovens: all elements that ensure uniformity, repeatability, and compliance with application specifications on platforms and metal components.
For the painting of the Centrifugal pumps, the cabin reduces finishing defects, minimizes the need for rework, and protects surfaces from contaminants that can compromise performance and sealing over time.
Why did CDR decide to renovate their paint booth?
The update of the paint booth From CDR, it addresses three strategic needs:
- increase production capacity,
- improve surface quality
- increase safety and comfort for operators.
The intervention is therefore not only technological, but above all the operational aspect of painting is improved., ensuring shorter cycle times without compromising coating durability. In this way our company will be able to handle larger orders and faster deliveries while maintaining company certification and quality control procedures.
Advanced filtering system and increased suction
The new system integrates an enhanced filtration stage which reduces the presence of particles and paint mist in the cabin air. High-efficiency filters, appropriately sized for the flow, limit contaminants settling on the painted surface; the higher suction speed avoids turbulence and contributes to a more uniform film free of inclusions.
This translates to a noticeable improvement in paint quality and a healthier working environment for operators. The importance of filtration and the correct relationship between filtration and flow rate are well-documented in industry best practices.
Thermal control of the paint booth: 70-80°C oven and reduction of cycle times
The cabin is now equipped with advanced thermal control that allows oven temperatures to be maintained in the range of 70–80°C during the drying/curing phases (depending on the type of paint used).
Stable temperature control optimizes film polymerization, reduces waiting times, and allows for compression of the production cycle without compromising the mechanical and chemical properties of the coating. In practice, oven management directly contributes to increasing daily productivity.
Enhanced lighting for uniform finishes
An often underestimated aspect is the lighting of the paint booth: The intervention included lighting fixtures and a distribution that ensure visual uniformity and reduce shadows or hot spots.
Better visibility means operators can assess the coating in real time, correct any defects, and achieve a uniform aesthetic and functional finish on all pump surfaces. The right light uniformity is, in fact, crucial for visual quality control and for the total protection of the centrifugal pump.
Process monitoring and control system
The new paint booth It is equipped with a monitoring system that records critical parameters such as air flow rate, pressure, oven temperature, filter status, and cycle times.
This check ensures that each batch meets the project's planned specifications. and makes interventions traceable, a fundamental element for customers who require documentation and process compliance.
Repeatability and traceability, specifically, they are elements that CDR integrates into its qualitative approach at every level.
Production impact: +40% of painted pumps per day
From the first weeks of operation, CDR has seen an increase in production capacity: the new booth allows for painting about 40% more pumps per day compared to the previous situation, thanks to the combination of enhanced suction, faster oven times, and fewer reworkings.
The customer benefit is represented reduced delivery times, greater flexibility on the mix of orders, and more stable industrial costs.
A painting service that is part of the CDR value
The new paint booth It will be an integral part of the CDR Pompe offering, enhancing the quality of the finished product, operator safety, and our company’s ability to respond to customers and partners. For those seeking a supplier of centrifugal pumps with certified processes, traceability, and comprehensive service, from design to test until’After-sales support and to predictive maintenance, the update demonstrates that CDR continues to invest to maintain reliability and competitiveness in the market.

Frequently Asked Questions
What coating cycles does it offer CDR Pompe for centrifugal pumps intended for corrosive environments?
CDR Pompe It produces C4, C5 and CX painting cycles, designed for the most aggressive and corrosive environments, thanks to specialized personnel. The pumps are supplied as standard in RAL 5021, but it is possible to request another color according to the customer’s specifications. The paint serves as a protective barrier against corrosion and chemical aggression.
How much does the production capacity increase with the new paint booth CDR Pompe?
With the new cab, he is CDR Pompe able to paint about 40% more pumps per day than in the previous situation. The result comes from the combination of enhanced suction, faster oven times, and fewer rework steps. For the customer, this means reduced delivery times, greater flexibility in the mix of orders, and more stable industrial costs.
At what temperature does the oven in the paint booth work and what effect does it have on production times?
The oven in the new cab maintains temperatures of approximately 70–80°C during drying and curing, depending on the type of paint. A stable thermal control optimizes the polymerization of the film, reduces waiting times and compresses the production cycle, without losing the mechanical and chemical properties of the coating, increasing daily productivity.
How does the painting booth industrial improve the quality of the finish of the centrifugal pumps?
The cabin is a controlled environment with regulated airflow, filters, calibrated lighting and suction, which ensures uniformity and repeatability. In the case of CDR, high-efficiency filters and increased suction speed limit particles and paint mist, preventing turbulence and inclusions. The result is fewer defects, less rework and surfaces protected from contaminants.
How is the traceability of the CDR pump painting process guaranteed?
The new cabin has a monitoring system that records flow rate air, pressure, oven temperature, filter status, and cycle times. This data ensures that each batch meets the project specifications and makes it possible to track interventions. This meets the requirements for documentation and process compliance as part of CDR’s ISO 9001 certification.
What benefits does the new painting booth offer CDR Pompe for operator safety?
The new cab improves operator safety and comfort thanks to enhanced filtration and increased suction, which reduce particles and paint mist in the air, creating a healthier environment. The uniform illumination, without shadows or hot spots, also allows for real-time assessment of the coating and immediate correction of any defects.
