(Dürr: Southfield, MI) -- The EcoPaintJet, initially introduced for overspray-free paint applications in industrial vehicle painting, is now benefiting other industries.

Refrigeration manufacturer PAN-DUR insulates glazing for commercial refrigeration equipment and has been using Dürr’s innovative applicator to paint glass surfaces. This technology saves time and materials by eliminating the need for individual screens in the screen-printing process.

Most people are familiar with large refrigeration units at supermarkets: wall shelving, cabinets, or counters where a range of foodstuffs is stored behind glass or plastic panels. PAN-DUR uses enhanced safety glass (ESG) for its glass elements. Opaque decorative stripes are applied to obscure the unsightly bonded and sealed seams at the edges of the glass as well as the refrigeration technology behind them. Until now, PAN-DUR used a screen-printing process for this, which required a new screen or template for every color, size, or design variation.
