AkzoNobel installs hydrogen-powered spray booth at new training centre
One of the automotive industry’s first hydrogen-powered spray booths has been installed by AkzoNobel at a new training centre in Belgium.
Located near Brussels, the facility is part of a multi-million euro program to expand and upgrade the company’s network of more than 40 Automotive Training Centers (ATCs), which are located across the globe.
The hydrogen-powered combi spray booth is fully equipped for traditional repairs and includes an all-in-one repairs workstation. It also has a special air filtration system which uses “active carbon” to filter any volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated during the painting process.
An extra high efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA) produces clean air (up to 99 per cent), which is filtered back out into the atmosphere.
