In March 2026, new Russian paint and drying complexes for processing doors of MC-21 and SJ-100 aircraft were commissioned at the aircraft factory in Komsomolsk-on‑Amur. The equipment is integrated into the assembly lines and is used for applying paint coatings and sealing structures. The suppliers were Russian developers who created cameras specialized for aircraft assembly production.
The technology of applying coatings and sealants requires strict control of environmental parameters. The use of insulated chambers ensures the stability of temperature, humidity and purity of the air, which guarantees the repeatability of the results and the quality of adhesion of materials. The design of the new Russian complexes manufactured by NPO Lakokraspokratiye provides for a multi-zone architecture: the chamber for the MS-21 units includes four independent sections, for the SJ-100 — three. The autonomous operation of each section allows you to simultaneously perform various operations, such as thermal drying in one area and applying a sealant with different environmental parameters in the next.
The introduction of the complexes has made it possible to shorten the technological cycle of manufacturing door units by reducing the drying and vulcanization time of sealants, as well as minimizing interoperable downtime. The stability of the processing modes reduces the risk of coating defects and ensures uniformity of parameters for all products.
The management system of the new Russian-made equipment ensures continuous monitoring and archiving of temperature and humidity indicators for each product, forming an electronic processing history. This simplifies quality control and allows you to monitor production conditions.
