Automated Fuel Tank Coating Line with Robotic Spraying and Pretreatment
This coating line is specialized for fuel tanks and similar large plastic parts. It integrates a gantry pretreatment system, robotic spray application, and a high-temperature curing oven to deliver a complete coating solution. The line operates at a 45-second cycle per tray, achieving up to 1,760 trays daily, and is designed for continuous 22-hour operation.
Key Selling Points
- Integrated Pretreatment: Gantry pretreatment system automatically cleans and conditions tank surfaces, ensuring proper coating adhesion.
- Robotic Spraying Precision: Robotic arms apply coatings uniformly, even on complex tank contours, minimizing defects and overspray.
- High-Temperature Curing: Dedicated curing oven ensures coatings are fully cured, providing excellent chemical and abrasion resistance.
- High Throughput: With a 45-second cycle and 1,760 trays per day, it meets large-scale production needs.
- Durable Construction: Carbon steel structure with stainless steel surfaces in wet areas ensures longevity and easy maintenance.

Models and Options
Fuel tank coating lines can be configured with different pretreatments (spray or immersion), various curing oven capacities, and either single or dual robotic cells. Options are available to accommodate different tank sizes and production scales.
Materials and Structure
The main frame is built from carbon steel for structural integrity, while the paint booth and piping are made of stainless steel to resist corrosion and simplify cleaning. The curing oven features high-efficiency insulation to reduce energy consumption.
Applications
Primarily designed for coating fuel tanks used in automobiles and other vehicles. The line is also suitable for other large plastic components such as water tanks, industrial containers, and similar parts.
Customization
We offer end-to-end customization, from factory layout design to equipment specification and installation. Our team can integrate the line with your existing MES system for production tracking.
