Let us help you improve!

Panel Beaters
This is the first stop in a Body Shop, where the vehicle is deconstructed and panels are corrected. A first layer of putty is applied and sanded down. Hedson will solve problems as:

• Rapid throughput – by using technology to accelerate the work, preparing more cars quicker for the next phase.
• Safe vehicle transportation – The damaged vehicles need to be moved safely and efficiently, with minimal heavy manual maneuvering.
• High quality result – The first stop is the foundation for the result, doing it right here saves time and improves end quality.

Improve staff utilization – A Transmobile ensures a safer and quicker work routine that drastically reduces the work involved in vehicle transportation in the workshop.

Paint Preperation Area
This area is generally used for a variety of preparation processes like sanding, filling, taping etc. prior to painting.
Hedson will solve problems as:

• Maximize spray booth usage – generate an even flow during the day, optimizing the use of the spray booth.
• Safe and silicon free vehicle lifts – lifts need to be safe, but also exclude silicon. Silicon molecules can severely lower the end quality.
• Flexible solutions – essential for speeding up the workflow.

Ready to sand after 6 min – using an IRT infrared solution curing is done in 6 min. Saving time and improving throughput drastically.

Mixing Room
The Mixing room provides a work-space utilized to mix and prepare dusty/greasy liquids, like fillers and putty. Many of the liquids are solvent-based. Hedson will solve problems as:

• Space saving solutions – gun cleaners and other equipment must be compact for small mixing rooms.
• Excellent cleaning performance – a perfect gun cleaning result is essential for perfect painting result.
• A safe & cost effective system for solvents – a safe system for using solvents that reduces consumption, disposal and costs.

Up to 2x product lifespan – a Drester spray gun cleaner has a lifespan of 7-10 years while competing products has a lifespan of 1-3 years. In addition you adhere to the regulatory demands.

Spray booth
The purpose of the Spray area is to provide controlled environmental conditions while a vehicle is being spray painted.
Hedson will solve problems as:

• Optimize spray booth usage – optimized vehicle throughput requires fast and efficient vehicle transportation and curing.
• Accessories – by making it easier to reach the ceiling of an object that is to be spray painted, a step-bench can be used. Then the staff stands steadily and reaches properly.
• Clean spray guns – to insure a perfect result the spray guns need to be thoroughly cleaned.

Up to 3x quicker gun cleaning – to get a perfectly clean spray gun it takes approx. 8 minutes to clean by hand. With a Drester gun cleaner it is done in 2,5 minutes – whilst the personnel is able to do other tasks.

Drying area
This area is for curing paintwork after processes in the spray area. Short-wave Infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV)mobiles ensures deep penetration into the paint, as it cures from the inside out, unlike other heating methods that primarily cure the surface.
If solvents are “locked-in” in the paint layer, this can lead to destroyed paint work later on.
Hedson will solve problems as:

• Flexible solutions that saves energy – utilizing energy at the right place and with the right amount. Avoiding heating up the whole room.
• Flexible curing options – a rapid throughput of cars requires mobile/rail curing units with several programs.
• Safe curing method – vehicles include more and more electronics. Minimize harmful impact by using the right technology, ie IRT curing technology.Up to 89% time saving/ paint job, e.g.:

• Curing a wing or door, using a combined booth & owen at 60 degrees C = 40 min.
• Curing a wing or door, using IRT PowerCure = 7 min.

The finishing area is a holding area reserved for polishing and any necessary finishing processes. Customer needs are often similar to Preparation area 1.
Hedson will solve problems as:

• Efficient vehicle transportation – vehicle requires time-efficient vehicle transportation.
• Safe vehicle transportation – The cured vehicles need to be moved safely and efficiently, with minimal heavy manual maneuvering.

Improve staff utilization – A Transmobile ensures a safer and quicker work routine that drastically reduces the work involved in vehicle transportation in the workshop.

Smart repair – minor damages area
A area like this is used for taking care of small damages. Normally it is outside of the normal process of a body and paint shop and a job should be able to be finished in around 30 minutes

• Cost and time efficient – it will not reach the same result as a full process, but is a more cost and time efficient solution.
• Safe working environment – a lift is a great option for better working environment, health and quality of job
• Flexible and space saving –  an mobile IRT dryer, provides flexibility and are easy to move around.

Reduce curing time – for minor jobs, a perfect choice to use is a mobile unit as an IRT 4-1 PcAuto or IRT Combi 4-2 IR/UVA.
