No saving percentage is promised in advance. Technical scope, partners and funding are checked for your specific case.
Who this is for
Manufacturers with their own powder-coating line and separable colour and composition streams.
Activity and prerequisites
KID-2025 screening references: 25. These are not final classifications or eligibility confirmations.
Check business size, revenue, location, sector exclusions, aid regime and an existing product or service where the model requires it. Missing data remains a question, not a positive assessment.
What changes
Capture, sieve and blend recovered powder with virgin material under controlled conditions.
How the result is verified
g virgin powder / m² accepted coating; separately record powder actually reused.
Compare equivalent thickness and coating requirements. Weight records are reconciled with colour, adhesion and quality tests.
Baseline, target and acceptance
Measure the baseline at your operation. An initial planning approach is around four representative operating weeks, extended or separated for seasonality and product mix. This is a planning method, not a programme requirement.
Agree the target after a trial or engineering assessment. Compare equivalent conditions without compromising quality, safety or hygiene. Retain absolute quantities so a normalized indicator cannot conceal losses.
Who delivers what
PixelAutomate
Order-level material balance, batch traceability and colour-change restrictions.
Process and equipment
Booth supplier, coating technologist and explosion-protection specialist.
These are required roles, not contracted suppliers. Responsibilities, data access, timing and acceptance are confirmed before commitment.
When not to proceed
Reintroducing contaminated or incompatible powder is not an acceptable saving.
