A250 automatic coater - The market leader in the woodworking trade

The A250 or A380 automatic painting machine is made for carpentry shops, prefabricated house manufacturers and roofing companies who no longer want to paint by hand or wait for the timber industry, but instead want to ensure added value and quality in-house.

With the A-series machines, you can paint carports, wooden façades, wooden terraces, exposed roof trusses and even 3-layer panels up to 40 cm wide. The machines are very robustly built, but despite weighing around 800 kg, they are easy to manoeuvre because they stand on high-quality swivel castors - made in Germany.

A look behind the scenes

Is the A250 coater really as good as everyone says?

 

What do our customers think about their painting machines?

Porträt Joachim Loy, Loy Holzbau

"Once you've seen how quickly and perfectly this A250 works, and the advantages it brings us, nobody talks about the investment costs any more, but realises that this is exactly the piece of the puzzle that was missing until now."

"Super demonstration, super instruction, super machine and super service - there's no other way to put it! Why did we only buy it now? - Quote from an employee. Absolute recommendation to buy!"

Christian Hecker, Managing Director,
Hecker System Holzbau GmbH & Co. KG

Porträt Christian Hecker, Hecker System Holzbau

"Painting is no longer a pain, it's almost an experience! It no longer feels tedious, but is very productive. The wood is briefly flooded once and then neatly stripped by counter-rotating brushes, the result is excellent and practically impossible to achieve by hand. The wood grain is beautifully accentuated."

Frequently asked questions about the A250 / A380 automatic coater

Can the A250 process all colours?

The A250 covers an immensely wide range of colours and glazes. Whether Adler Lignovit Lasur, Remmers HSL 35, KEIM Lignosil Verano, Koch&Schulte Hydrostop H2O... and everything in between: The machine processes almost everything.

Important to know: However, some solvent paints have such a low flash point that there is a certain risk of explosion - which, incidentally, can also be triggered by many other things. We therefore advise against solvent-based paints overall, especially as the market for them is in decline anyway and many ingredients have already been banned, while others have been restricted. Otherwise, there are some hand paints that are so viscous that they simply do not flow well. We would be happy to advise you on a common alternative.


Watch the video: What are the best glazes for you as a carpenter?

Can I handle large projects properly myself?

Firstly, you get ingenious drying trolleys from us, which can hold a lot and can also be moved very easily when loaded. Secondly, the machine is so fast that you can easily paint 1,000m² a day with 2-3 employees. This minimises the time overlap with other work and you simply get it done quickly.

What advantages does the optional sanding module offer?

It extends the service life of the coating because the paint adheres better to the roughened surface than to one that has only been planed. On rough-sawn wood, it removes the loose fibres that would otherwise fall off after coating.

Have a look at our corresponding knowledge article:

Expert knowledge

Is the A250 also worthwhile for small companies?

Often yes. In many cases, 2-3 wooden façades a year are enough to keep you in the black. How does that happen? Take a look at this video:

I probably don't have enough space - is there a solution?

Mostly yes. Firstly, you can get great and space-saving drying trolleys from us. Secondly, painting is so fast at around 150 m²/h that you can finish it quickly at the end of the day in the same hall that is actually used for other things. In other words, a double use that would otherwise not be possible without a night shift.

Another example: Painting 200 m² of facade, for example, can be completed in two passes on Friday afternoon with two to three people. On Monday, everything is completely dry, so the painting and the rest of the work is staggered and hardly touches each other.

I'm not a painter and have never had a machine like this - is it easy to use?

Don't worry, that's exactly what our customers usually do. To ensure that everything runs perfectly from day 1, you will receive extensive training from us. You'll see: It's much easier than you think. Take a look at our video.

How much does an A250 / A380 coater cost?

We will be happy to provide you with a customised quote as soon as we know what task you actually have to complete and which machine in which configuration you can actually use best. In addition to your colours and cross-sections, this also depends on how long the amortisation period will be. Spoiler: The machines are so inexpensive that they can often pay for themselves within months.

It's almost always the builders who do the painting - isn't that worthwhile for us?

Most builders don't paint themselves out of passion, but only for price reasons. As many carpenters have already told us, the end result is often so mediocre that carpenters are not proud of their references. If you can now offer 30% cheaper because you have saved 85% yourself, how many clients will say yes to your full-service package? According to our customers' experience, up to 100%!

Watch this video from one of our customers where he describes this change in detail:

I've had one of these brushes before, but it was no good, so I'm sceptical, what can you say?

We know these frames well because we have often replaced them. The respective customers quickly realise during the demonstration that this is something completely different. Take a look at YouTube, a customer has or will soon be reporting there.
