Automotive Painting
Automotive paint shops generate complex exhaust air streams from coating, drying and curing processes. These emissions must be treated reliably to ensure uninterrupted production and consistent product quality. At the same time, manufacturers are under increasing pressure to reduce energy consumption, lower CO₂ emissions and comply with evolving environmental requirements. Efficient air pollution control has therefore become a key factor in modern paint shop operations.
Key Challenges in Automotive Paint Shops
Automotive painting processes are characterized by several critical challenges:
- Production uptime is critical
Any interruption in the paint shop directly impacts overall vehicle production and leads to significant costs. - Strict and evolving emission requirements
Emission limits for VOCs and other pollutants are becoming increasingly stringent across global markets. - Energy consumption and CO₂ pressure
Paint shops are among the most energy-intensive areas in automotive manufacturing. - Complex and dynamic process conditions
Fluctuating VOC loads, varying production schedules and multi-system integration require flexible and robust solutions.

Process-Integrated Solutions
Dürr CTS solutions are designed with a deep understanding of automotive paint shop processes. We integrate air pollution control systems directly into production and energy infrastructures, including optimized heat recovery concepts. This ensures stable performance even under fluctuating VOC conditions while reducing overall energy demand. Each system is tailored to the specific application, enabling reliable operation, efficient energy use and long-term stability.
Typical Applications in Paint Shops
Our systems are typically applied in the following areas:
Spray booths generate large exhaust air volumes with relatively low VOC concentrations. These conditions often require upstream concentration systems to enable efficient oxidation and stable plant operation.
Drying processes typically produce exhaust air with higher temperatures and related VOC concentrations. This allows for efficient thermal oxidation, often with integrated heat recovery concepts to optimize overall energy efficiency.
Lifecycle Support
Reliable operation goes beyond installation. We support our customers throughout the entire lifecycle of their systems:
- Preventive maintenance and inspections
- Fast troubleshooting and support
- Global spare parts availability
