The aim of the project is to develop a high-tech product in the form of an automated and digitally controlled line for the sustainable de-lacquering of metal components, which will be taken to a final design stage ready for use in a real industrial environment. By developing a highly scalable solution, we are revolutionising the de-lacquering industry, with direct benefits throughout the chain due to lower costs throughout production, reduced energy and resource consumption. CO2 emissions, energy consumption, consumption of basic materials, time and resource consumption are greatly reduced, while eliminating the direct emissions of harmful substances that are integral to existing methods.
