TLCA: your technical partner for industrial paint technology from Dürr and B-TEC

If one cog falters...

TLCA & partners: the silent force behind a reliable painting process

Dozens of links interact in every spraying or painting process: from product feed and pressure control to nozzle selection and gun settings. Everything has to be right. Because even the smallest mistake - an irregular flow rate, a faltering valve, a slight disturbance in the mixing ratio - will affect the final result.

It is precisely in those moments that TLCA makes the difference.

Less loss, more control: EcoSupply P Core optimises colour changes in the paint line

Every drop counts - especially in modern industrial paint shops, where colour changes are increasingly frequent and wastage quickly builds up. The new EcoSupply P Core from Dürr cleverly addresses this: an innovative system that drastically reduces paint loss as well as rinse agent consumption during colour changes.

At TLCA, we follow these technological developments closely, as they fit perfectly with our mission: provide efficient, sustainable and technically optimised paint systems to industrial customers.

Flexible and automated painting? TLCA integrates robot technology tailored to your production

Automated painting has long since ceased to be a technology exclusive to the automotive sector. Within the general industry too, robots offer an unparalleled combination of precision, speed and repeatability. TLCA helps you make the most of this technology, thanks to our expertise in industrial painting applications as well as our collaboration with top brands such as Dürr.

With more than 13,000 robotic installations worldwide, Dürr is a leader in paint robotics. But the real difference is in how this technology is implemented: ready to integrate in your production environment, without unnecessary complexity.

EcoPaintJet: Masking-free and precise coating without overspray

The EcoPaintJet by Dürr - originally developed for the automotive sector - is now proving its added value in other industries as well. Refrigeration technology provider PAN-DUR is successfully using the system for precise coating of glass surfaces, without overspray or the need for masking. TLCA closely follows these technological evolutions as they perfectly demonstrate how smart application systems can reduce time, material and error margins.
