'Z TEAM' SPEEDS UP PRODUCTION
Automotive repair and refinish is a fast-paced industry where production is constantly being turned up a notch. R&I Zambesi has kept its finger on the pulse when it comes to workflow and is always looking to improve its customers’ efficiency. The ‘Z Team’ has introduced a variety of additional spray booth features that have resulted in significant productivity improvements.
The Z-Air Flash Off Cycle is just one of the functions that can be added to the Z-Air Plus Spray Booth model which is designed to speed up the drying time of eco-friendly water- based paints. The flash off technology uses auxiliary air movement and increased air tem- perature to speed up curing. This function al- lows for the water to evaporate more rapidly into the air stream resulting in quicker drying times between base coats and is user-friendly, allowing easy automatic switching between spray cycles.
The Infrared IRT PowerCure arch is another
additional feature that many businesses are opting for which is de- signed to be installed inside the spray booth. The arch typically cures in 10 minutes or less with just 10 minutes of cool down time. This rapid curing increases production whilst also saving energy by using smart technology to use the exact amount of energy needed for the curing job, turning on and off in a fraction of a second with no pre-heating required.
Tracey Richards of Geoff Richards Panel Beating in Dubbo NSW said “We have increased production by over 40 percent since having our new Z-Air Plus Spray Booth and IRT PowerCure arch installed. We have seen an increase in profit and we are so happy we invested in this equipment for our shop.”

This product can be sanded and polished after a 45 second cure using the Finixa SCL00 UVLED curing lamp. For a perfect 10 step stone chip repair process search “SCU20” on the website listed below.
The SCL00 Stone Chip UVLED is a universal LED lamp for UV dry- ing that can also be used as a detection and inspection lamp. It has a 3.7V lithium rechargeable battery with a high power 5W output. Recommended distance to hold from the curing surface is between 10mm and 30mm.
Finixa also has the TSP150 UV Primer which is a one-component UV curable primer-filler with a two-minute cure time (pending cure area size and distance matched with UV curing lamp). With a high film build of up to 140 microns over three layers, it is the perfect aerosol primer for spot and SMART repairs and will increase pro- ductivity from the first use.
