Symach says it is continuing to build bodyshops around the world operating its unique FixLine system. There are now 46 shops using the FixLine process in Australia, North America, Europe and the Middle East.


The FixLine system consists of a layout and repair process that combines patented Drytronic technology, specialized drying robots and the Symach Paint Application Process (SPAP) painting cycle. Osvaldo Bergaglio, CEO of Symach says, "Compared to conventional methods, the FixLine system reduces the average cost of repair by 25% and the key-to-key time to approximately two days.” 

FixLine includes all phases of repair and is customised for every shop to ensure a more organised workflow and optimal repair times. There are three different layouts and repair processes, which are segmented based on the amount of damage and the number of panels involved in an accident. "This makes it possible to optimise each phase of the repair, the skills of the technicians and the equipment.” said Osvaldo.

The FixLine conveyor allows a continuous workflow throughout the day, allowing a shop to use approximately 30 percent fewer technicians than a conventional shop to repair the same number of cars per day. It is available in two different configurations. The SprayTron has the capability to repair 10 cars per day with one painter, while the KombiTron can repair 20 cars per day with two painters.

The company has also developed a specific paint process called "SPAP,” Symach Paint Application Process. Osvaldo says this can save 60% of the application time compared to the conventional paint process.
