AutoPaintLine APL-5000 Series

Precision. Speed. Explosion Safety.

Core Innovation: 5-Layer Hazard Defense + Pantone®-Integrated Dosing

Shanghai Guangzhi APL-5000 achieves 120 cans/hour with ±0.3% accuracy for water-based/solvent-based/metallic paints (50-500,000 cP) – featuring ATEX Zone 1 certification, inline viscosity correction, and zero cross-contamination. Engineered to eliminate VOC emissions, static ignition, and color drift in automotive, industrial, and architectural coating production.
