Case Study: Spray Coating Line, Kenya

Selection logic: why this configuration

A complete line in one shipment with spare parts was chosen because a plant in East Africa cannot wait for follow-up consignments; everything needed to install and run the line, including wear items, travelled together. The equipment was specified for robustness and remote support rather than for maximum automation.

Scope of supply and key components

Key components

Key components are available from international brands, configurable per customer specification, so that spare parts can be sourced locally over the life of the line. Brand names below are the usual options for this type of equipment; the brands actually fitted are fixed in the contract specification.

Not included in the scope of supply

• Civil works, foundations and pits
• Building services up to the battery limit: power supply, gas, compressed air, water and drainage
• Local permits, emission approvals and third-party inspections
• Paint or powder supply, unless stated in the contract
• Installation labour and site utilities at the plant in Kenya

Services included with every line: engineering design, manufacturing, shipping documentation, installation supervision, commissioning, operator training, warranty and spare parts.

Typical programme

The durations below are typical for equipment of this class and are given for planning; they are not the recorded schedule of this project. A complete line usually runs 90–180 days from contract to acceptance, a single unit 30–60 days.

Applicability and limits

The line is sized for the client's parts and volume; details of the workpieces are not published at the client's request. Shipment date is from the shipping records.

Results shown in this case study reflect the stated operating conditions and should not be interpreted as guaranteed performance under different feed, production, environmental, or site conditions.

After-sales and spare parts

Warranty on a MUSI coating line runs from acceptance: 12 months on the complete line excluding consumables, 36 months on critical components such as motors, drives and the PLC, and 60 months on structural parts such as steel structure, ducting and oven bodies. Failures within warranty, excluding misuse, are repaired free of charge.

Support starts remotely: the service line is staffed around the clock, a preliminary diagnosis with recommendations is given within 2 hours, and where a site visit is needed an engineer reaches any major city within 72 hours. A spare-parts inventory is held at the Changzhou headquarters with same-day shipping, and customers can keep a dedicated parts stock at MUSI for emergencies. Details are on the after-sales service page.

FAQ

How is a coating line supported in East Africa? Remotely first: diagnosis within 2 hours by phone or WhatsApp, spare parts shipped from Changzhou, and an engineer visit where needed.

Why ship spare parts with the line? So wear items are on site from day one and the line is not stopped waiting for a consignment.

What was delivered? A spray coating line with accessories and spare parts, about 3.5 tonnes, in February 2026.

Can the line be expanded later? Yes; conveying, booths and drying can be extended once the client's volume grows.

What information is needed for a similar line? Workpiece photos and dimensions, required output, number of colours and available floor space; see the next-step section below.

Next step: a configuration proposal for a similar line

If your parts, volumes or plant conditions are close to this project, MUSI can return a line configuration and layout proposal. To prepare it we need four things:

• Photos and dimensions of the workpieces, with weight and material
• Required output (pieces per hour or per day, and shifts)
• Number of colours and how often colour changes are needed
• Available floor space and ceiling height, with the utilities on site
