Liquid coating
is one of the most popular finishing techniques in the industrial sector, appreciated for its versatility, quality and adaptability to a wide range of materials and applications. This process involves the application of painting products on a metal surface using various application methods (spraying, with airless guns, with electrostatic guns or immersion). The application phase is followed by drying in special baking ovens. Despite the different application methods, liquid painting continues to be one of the preferred solutions for protecting a metal surface from corrosion or other atmospheric agents and for giving a pleasant aesthetic appearance to the product.
Verona Impianti, with its long experience in the industrial coating sector, has consolidated itself as a reliable partner in the design and construction of liquid painting systems. We offer highly customized solutions, designed to meet the specific needs of each customer. Our cutting-edge systems, optimized to guarantee high performance, minimize energy consumption and always ensure a quality end result.
Our solutions are suitable for different sectors, such as the painting of agricultural and earthmoving machinery and ACE (Agricultural Construction Equipment) components, car bodies, furniture components, pumps and valves. The possibility of using solvent-based or water-based liquid paints allows you to customize each application, based on the material to be treated and the environmental conditions to which the product will be subjected.
The main advantages of liquid painting
1. Versatility
One of the main advantages of liquid painting is its extreme versatility. It could be applied on a wide range of materials and surfaces, such as metals, wood, plastics and glass. The versatility in the application mode allows to obtain detailed and precise finishes even on surfaces that are difficult to reach or very small. There is also a wide range of components that cannot withstand the curing temperature required by powder coatings (presence of hydraulic seals, coatings with other delicate surface treatments, etc.), or for which powder coating becomes uneconomical (artifacts of high thickness or very variable thickness): in these cases, liquid paints are a reliable and quality alternative.
2. High protection from corrosion
Applying a double coat of liquid paint provides excellent resistance to wear and corrosion in a relatively simple and economical way.
3. Suitable for small and large productions
Like powder coating, liquid coating is an ideal solution for both small and large productions. It is easily adaptable to different needs, making this technology suitable for both small productions and large industrial volumes. Furthermore, the process is easily adaptable to new production lines or modifiable to meet particular requests.
4. Competitive costs
Liquid paint products generally have a lower cost than powder coatings. In addition, the need to dry the painted parts at lower temperatures than with powder paints means that the operating costs of the systems are reduced.
The main applications of liquid painting systems
Liquid coating is particularly suitable for treating components that must guarantee high resistance to corrosion and atmospheric agents. In this regard, by applying a double layer (primer + enamel) it is easier and more economical to obtain good resistance to corrosive agents. The following sectors are the ones where liquid paints find greater application:
Agricultural and earthmoving machinery
Agricultural machinery, such as tractors, combine harvesters and other specialized equipment,
operate in particularly difficult conditions, subjected to extreme stresses and atmospheric agents. To ensure their resistance and extend their life, it is essential to subject the components to the painting phase. Liquid paints, particularly suitable for protecting metal components from corrosion, prove to be the ideal technology.
Automotive and transport
In the automotive and transportation industry, the quality of painting plays a crucial role not only in terms of aesthetics, but also in protecting vehicles from weathering, wear and tear, and damage caused by abrasions and scratches. Powder coating, with its ability to form a resistant protection, is particularly suitable to paint alloy wheels, frames and other metal parts, while liquid painting is the preferred choice for achieving quality finishes on car bodies.
Metalworking industry
In the metalworking industry, metal components such as structures, tools and industrial equipment require protective coatings that can ensure resistance to atmospheric agents and extend the lifespan of the surface. Automated painting solutions are ideal for industrial applications, allowing for greater uniformity of the finish and protecting materials from corrosion and mechanical damage.
Pumps, compressors, valves and fittings
These are components that, due to their functional characteristics, usually cannot withstand the polymerization temperatures typical of powder paints, hence the need to apply liquid paints. The painting of these industrial components, used for example in water and gas systems, requires highly specialized technological solutions. Protection against corrosion and chemicals is essential to ensure
the proper functioning of these components and maintain the safety and efficiency of the systems.

How do we design your liquid painting system?
Verona Impianti designs and builds liquid painting systems based on the needs of each individual customer. The process begins with an initial listening phase, during which the specific production needs and objectives to be achieved are identified. After carrying out this analysis, we create a technical-commercial proposal that integrates different technologies for a dual purpose: reducing energy consumption and ensuring production efficiency.
Along with the implementation of the project, we also take care of its installation, supporting all our customers with constant assistance so as to be able to respond promptly to the various needs. Finally, we take care of any requests or adjustments that may be necessary even a long time after the installation of the system with skill and punctuality. Thanks to this personalized approach, each liquid coating line designed by Verona Impianti not only meets quality standards, but also improves the customer's efficiency and competitiveness in its reference sector.
Designing an automatic liquid painting system
The development of an automatic liquid painting system uses cutting-edge technologies, designed to optimize each phase of the production process, with the aim of improving both the efficiency and the quality of the final result.
Automation plays a fundamental role, significantly reducing human intervention and ensuring precise and uniform paint application, with constant and repetitive results, while increasing production capacity.
All phases of the process, from surface preparation to paint application and subsequent drying, are fully automated, allowing for more efficient management of resources and a significant reduction in waste. Each system is custom designed, based on specific requirements, such as space available, products to be painted and production volumes, offering customized solutions that ensure high performance, consistency in process quality and a reduction in operating costs.
Designing a manual liquid painting system
The manual liquid painting systems designed by Verona Impianti offer excellent versatility in the management of batches to be treated, making them ideal for the treatment of pieces of different sizes and weights, even when the same production includes products with variable shapes and sizes. These systems guarantee high-quality finishes, maintaining high standards even in more complex processing contexts, where a greater degree of customization is required. The flexibility of manual systems allows for easy adaptation to specific production needs, optimizing the quality of the final result.
Not just complete systems: customized solutions for liquid painting
