Got to visit the Sabotaz factory in Greece. It was like a kid in a candy store. Not only did we get to see how the paint is made, but we got to see the 40 new colors that are going to be added to our palette!! For the past year, I have been hearing about these 40 new colors, but for one reason or another, there were delays in production. Well, I am happy to announce that finally, after one year of delays, the colors are completed. We are working on the shipping now, and should be receiving 20 of the 40 colors in the next month or two. Stay posted.
Here are a few shots of the hotness:
Here is a shot of the warehouse. Beautiful isn't it? thousands and thousands of cans of Sabotaz just waiting for someone to use them. ahhh.
The day we were in the production, they were running Cosmost Lac, which is a secondary line of paint that Sabotaz does. This secondary line of paint is meant for hardware stores, and general use. it's sort of like the American Accents paint that Home Depot sales. I would have loved to see Sabotaz being produced because I think it would be amazing to see the Sabotaz cans rolling off the assembly line, but this was nearly as good.
These are the empty cans, before the valve is put into them.
This after the cans are filled with paint, the propellent is added, and now they are headed to a water bath. The water bath tests the cans to make sure they can stand up to heat as hot as 130 degrees. Every single can of Sabotaz is tested to make sure it is as reliable as the next.
Here the cans are coming out of the water bath and they are being blown dry before going down the assembly line to the next area.
this machine puts the caps on each can. With the Sabotaz cans, they dont come with the caps already on, but for the Cosmos Lac line, they are.
Here you can see that the cans have the caps on them, and now they are headed to the area that puts on the ovecaps. The overcaps are what stop the caps from accidently spraying, and shows what color the paint inside is.
This is the overcaps coming off of the assembly line.
just like little soliders
Here you can see the cans rolling down to the next area. Now the cans are ready to be packaged. They have the caps, the over cap, and are going to be put into boxes and labeled.
This is the boxing robot. The Cosmos Lac line of paint comes 12 cans to a box, so it waits for 12 cans to line up, then it picks it up and puts them into the box.
beautiful site, isnt it?
This is the robot that picks up the boxes of paint, and puts them on a palette. This thing was a beast. Could kill you in a second if you got in it's way, then it would take over the world, and enslave your family.
The palette is ready to roll down the assembly line and be put onto a truck.
Cans ready to be pulled and put on the assembly line.
Empty cans of Sabotaz
