Starting point

FabriCar wanted to expand its body shop and paint shop in Bad Aibling with a new paint facility. Owner Christian Kucz used the new building to align the entire operation with sustainability. The requirements: no more fossil fuels, heat and electricity from in-house generation – for both the new paint shop and the existing building – plus state-of-the-art, energy-saving paint system technology.

Solution

SEHON supplied the complete paint shop from a single source – systems and workstations are fully integrated into the thermal and energy concept. An energy management system controls generation, storage, and consumption; heat is supplied via heat pump from geothermal energy, and electricity comes from their own photovoltaic system. The centerpiece is the SE-PROFESSIONAL FUTURA combination spray booth with integrated drying. It requires over 80% less energy than comparable spray booths without energy-saving technology. This is supported by year-round heat recovery with a rotary heat exchanger that recovers around 70% of the heat.

more energy generated than consumed – calculated over the year
“Together with the specialists from SEHON and Premiotherm, we have implemented a concept that is unprecedented in Germany. […] As a result, we generate more energy year-round than we consume – and completely carbon-neutral.”
