Revolution in paint dosing: Why the future is additive (3D)

In the paints and coatings industry, efficiency is not just a goal; it is a competitive necessity. However, many production lines are still held back by conventional dosing technologies that create bottlenecks, product waste, and high maintenance costs.

At Oliver + Batlle we have launched a 3D additive manufacturing nozzle service that does not just sell a product, but optimises your entire packaging process.

Why switch from traditional metal nozzles to 3D technology?

Additive manufacturing allows us to design “layer by layer”, breaking the limitations of traditional machining and offering tangible benefits in three critical areas:

1. Increased productivity and profitability

  • Manufacturing speed: Our nozzles allow for up to a 20% increase in filling speed compared to conventional dosers.
  • Time optimisation: Reducing the seconds per dosing cycle is the most direct way to increase your daily output.
  • Cost reduction: Improved efficiency, together with annual contract options including 10% discounts, significantly reduces the total cost of ownership.


2. Packaging quality: Zero drips, zero foam

One of the biggest challenges in paint packaging is difficult products that generate foam or residual dripping.

  • Precision design: Each nozzle is custom-designed for the specific rheology of your product.
  • A diameter for every container: We apply the principle of an optimal nozzle according to the container diameter, ensuring a millimetre-perfect fit and an impeccable finish.


3. Technical superiority of the material

Unlike heavy metal parts, our 3D nozzles offer:

  • Minimum weight: Reduces mechanical stress and wear on the dosing arms of your machines.
  • Greater impact resistance: Manufactured with high-durability technical polymers that withstand the pace of an industrial plant.
  • Ad-hoc flexibility: The process begins with a preliminary study and the development of a functional prototype to ensure the solution is perfect before final production.


A service model designed for your business

We understand that production varies, which is why our model is fully flexible. We offer a service with no long-term commitment which includes:

  • Personalised study and design.
  • Scheduled deliveries to guarantee your stock.
  • Express service: Deliveries within 24 hours in Europe and 72 hours in the rest of the world for urgent situations.


Conclusion

The digitalisation of dosing is here to stay. With Oliver + Batlle’s 3D nozzles, your company not only gains speed, but also a packaging quality that your customers will notice from the very first tin.
