The newest addition to Cavalieri's process is an automated spray finisher, built around a custom engineered line consisting of the latest generation robotic spraying arm and a high efficiency, high capacity drying oven. The entire system is under pressurization. A sophisticated computer system ensures perfect air volume, both incoming and outgoing, along with an ideal temperature and humidity level. This gives Cavalieri the capability to obtain a level of finishing that is impossible to reach with manual or conventional spraying systems. Learn more at
