Wind Turbines

Innovative solution for coating blades

BL8 is the industry’s first automated coating robot that coats wind turbine blades faster, safer, and with better consistent quality, and with virtually no overspray.

The BL8 robot uses cutting-edge technology that transforms the traditional method of coating wind turbine blades into a fully controlled, efficient and safe process.

BL8 spray shielding system

Qlayers’s patented shielding system is a unique feature on the robots that allows coating surfaces with high precision, accurate layer thickness and high transfer efficiency (up to 90%).

Coating challenges in the wind turbine industry

When it comes to the coating process, wind turbine blade manufacturers often face the following challenges:

High inspection costs, due to the low controllability of the coating process
Performance problems caused by poor and inconsistent coating
Costs of wasted paint due to overspray and higher coating “under limits” – minimal thickness of the coated layer – because manual coating is inconsistent
Shortage of specialized workers because the job is not appealing to young people and is strenuous and dangerous
Problems to keep up with demand because the energy output per blade must grow to fulfil the demand for wind energy

We offer you a reliable solution

When comparing to the current manual coating process and even to the current available paint robots, our patented technology offers the following advantages:

No overspray
Accurate coating layer
All layer thicknesses are possible
Automated quality control on every position of the blade
Consistent automated performance
No people working at heights
Environmentally friendly process
