FixLine repair and paint equipment and solutions

FixLine Original Symach lean repair process

FixLine, the original Symach Lean Repair Process, revolutionizes the car repair industry by enhancing productivity, quality, and speed of repair

FixLine incorporates various stages, such as primer application, sanding, masking, painting, drying, unmasking, and polishing, all streamlined in a continuous line, facilitated by the CarMover side-loading system, which moves cars seamlessly through each phase of the repair process. Equipped with the DryKing spraybooth, the FixLine system enables the production of up to 8 jobs daily, referred to as DryKing FixLine. When equipped with both the spray booth and drying cabin, allowing for up to 16 tasks per day, it is named the Dryking-Kombiking FixLine.

MODULAR SYSTEM

FixLine is a modular system that can be composed, in its simplest structure, of a preparation bay for applying filler and primer, along with sanding, a subsequent masking area, and a classic painting booth such as the Prime. This layout is suitable for small-sized body shops with production needs around 5/6 repairs per day.

For higher production needs, from 8/10 repairs per day and beyond, FixLine must be integrated with the Kombiking drying booth, which, when combined with the high-performance DryKing paint booth, creates the FixLine DryKing-Kombiking system.

Thanks to the modularity of the FixLine system, it is possible to design layouts more or less complex according to production needs and the size of the body shop. Each FixLine layout is tailor-made to meet the specific needs of the customer, considering factors such as available space, the mix of damages (light, medium, or heavy), and the desired number of repairs per week.

To each layout, from basic to more complex ones, various accessories can be added, such as the Paint Mixing Room, also modular and scalable according to different productivity and space requirements, the PowerLed lighting system for bays and booths, the Vacuum Sanding System for preparation areas, and the FlyDry robot for rapid drying of primers and paints, using both infrared and UV technology for UV products.

Each layout is aesthetically enhanced by the use of CoverTop, a plastic covering for structures available in 8 different colors. CoverTop enhances partition walls, clearly distinguishing various work areas while concealing ceiling structures that support lights and ducts.

ADVANTAGES OF FIXLINE

The implementation of FixLine can significantly reduce the actual time a car spends in the body shop, cutting it by up to 40%, and also lowering labor costs by an average of 3-4 hours per repair. Additionally, Symach’s fast drying systems substantially decrease energy consumption by up to 90%, benefiting the environment.

Symach provides comprehensive information and support to customers throughout the project development, including assistance in creating the business plan, outlining the necessary equipment list, and designing the layout. Collaboration with the customer, their architect, and technicians during the design and layout development ensures the final project aligns with the customer’s objectives.

All equipment is designed and manufactured at Symach’s facility in Bologna, Italy, and is installed by authorized technicians trained by Symach.

Site preparation and equipment installation work are monitored by Symach technicians through periodic video calls involving all parties engaged in the project.

The modularity of the FixLine system offers exceptional flexibility to meet all production needs and is suitable for body shops of any size and auto dealerships requiring rapid refurbishment or cosmetic touch-ups on a high volume of new or used cars every week.
