Ultra-precise dispensing accuracy
Full integration with the PPG LINQ ecosystem
Its compact design makes it ideal for shops looking to maximize workspace efficiency.
-
PPG MoonWalk features an ultra-precise moving scale with 0.01 gram precision, making it up to 10 times more precise than standard mixing scales. This level of accuracy improves color consistency and reduces costly rework.
-
Yes. MoonWalk is specifically engineered to minimize material waste through precise automated dispensing and optimized toner management. It also eliminates many common causes of over-pouring and contamination associated with manual mixing.
-
PPG MoonWalk utilizes a compact split cabinet design measuring approximately 2+1 meters, making it one of the smallest automated mixing systems available. Its self-contained setup fits efficiently into most mixing rooms.
-
The system includes:
82 toner storage spaces
13 dispensing rack positions
Dedicated pumping groups for over 80 toners
This allows shops to manage a large number of formulas while maintaining organized operations.
-
No. PPG MoonWalk is designed to work directly with PPG standard toner bottles, eliminating the need to dump toners into secondary canisters. This helps maintain cleaner mixing rooms and reduces contamination risk.
-
No. Unlike many automated paint mixing systems, PPG MoonWalk® does not require a backup set of toners. This helps reduce unnecessary inventory costs, saves valuable storage space, and improves overall operational efficiency for collision centers and refinish shops.
By utilizing dedicated pumping groups designed specifically for PPG standard bottles, MoonWalk streamlines the mixing process while maintaining exceptional dispensing accuracy and consistency.
