Sagola strengthens its commitment to bodyshop training with a technical session in Barcelona
On January 29th, Sagola, a leading manufacturer of spray guns for bodyshop and professional automotive refinishing, organized a technical training session at IES Mare de Déu de la Mercè in Barcelona for teachers from the Automotive and Bodywork Department of the Government of Catalonia.
This initiative is part of Sagola’s ongoing commitment to technical education, knowledge transfer and support for training centers that prepare the future professionals of the automotive refinishing sector.
Hands-on training with Sagola technology for professional refinishing
The session, strongly focused on practical application, was made possible thanks to the organization of teacher Jordi Juan Rodeja and the collaboration of Santiago Rico, Sagola technical specialist. During the training, participants worked directly with Sagola equipment under real application conditions, bringing industrial technology closer to the educational environment.
Teachers analyzed in depth the performance of the Sagola 4600 DFT spray guns, a benchmark model in bodyshop refinishing thanks to their exceptional transfer efficiency, excellent atomization, and highly uniform spray pattern, even in demanding applications. These features allow for high-quality finishes, reduced paint consumption and improved efficiency in modern refinishing processes.
The importance of air quality in painting processes
One of the key topics addressed during the training was compressed air quality, a critical factor in achieving consistent painting results. A live demonstration and disassembly of the Sagola 5300X air filter highlighted its role in removing contaminants and protecting the application process.
In addition, several solutions from the Sagola bodyshop spray gun and accessories range were presented, along with professional painter support tools such as the ALTAIR LED inspection lamp, designed to improve visual control during application and final finish inspection.
Innovation applied to training: SagolaSPRAY and virtual reality
To conclude the session, participants experienced SagolaSPRAY, Sagola’s virtual reality training system for spray application techniques. This technology enables safe, efficient and immersive learning, optimizing training while reducing material consumption.
Sagola’s ongoing support for automotive training
Through initiatives such as this technical training session in Barcelona, Sagola reaffirms its support for vocational education in automotive refinishing and bodyshop applications, combining technology, hands-on training and innovation to drive continuous improvement across the sector.
