    Sherwin-Williams Launches Color Mixing Machine for Auto Refinish

    Sherwin-Williams has launched Collision Core Pronto, an automated paint dispenser for the auto refinish market.

    Collision Core Pronto from Sherwin-Williams offers bodyshops and de-fleet and remarketing centres greater speed and efficiency, as well as guaranteed colour precision and a fully automated, simple-to-operate process. The launch is the latest addition to a portfolio of innovative solutions offered by Sherwin-Williams to help automotive refinish customers address today’s tough business challenges.

    Collision Core Pronto changes the game on everything from automation, mixing time and precision to product waste, versatility and maintenance. It is available with four or six dispensing heads, giving flexibility for all automotive refinish customers operating in high-volume or high-labour cost environments.

    “At Sherwin-Williams, we strive for innovation, continuous improvement and going one step beyond to support customers in everything we do, so we are delighted to introduce the European-manufactured Collision Core Pronto to EMEAI,” said Dave Wright, Vice President of Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes for Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India (EMEAI). “We want to help our customers overcome business challenges, and we believe Pronto is a true gamechanger in streamlining automotive repair and helping body shops to run more efficiently and profitably.”

    A few key features and benefits (based on the four-head model) include:
    • Nearly 200 colours per day: With four high-tech dispensing heads, Pronto can mix up to four colours at the same time. Pronto is the first solution to offer concurrent multiple mixes. This adds up to an astonishing 192 different colours a day.
    • Fully automated solution: Pronto is a user-friendly plug-and-play solution that requires no manual mixing, cleaning or calibration and can be operated by anyone. This frees up skilled technicians to focus on application and repairs.
    • Fast mixing time: Initial users have demonstrated a total mix time of five minutes - 50% quicker than alternative mixing systems. That’s time savings that makes a huge difference in busy operations.
    • Saves up to 50% in labour time: The four-head machine can process 24 mixes an hour, significantly increasing body shop productivity.
    • Colour precision every time, with reduced product waste: Fully integrated with Colour Retrieval Systems by Sherwin-Williams, Pronto’s patented dispensing technology allows for extreme precision down to 0.01 g. And with no dripping or risk of overpouring, it ensures minimal product waste and fewer errors in colour formulation - critical precision for body shops where colour matching needs to be perfect every time.
    • Perfect for all job sizes: Pronto can dispense as little as 50 g accurately, amounts impossible to achieve with a manual process.
    • Low maintenance: Pronto features full product recirculation that eliminates the risk of clogging and ensures consistent, error-free operation. This fully automated recirculation system substantially reduces maintenance-related downtime, letting shops focus on their core tasks.
