About VISECO: Heated Spray Equipment from Aichach, Germany
VISECO develops, manufactures and sells heated spray equipment and components for coating technology. Three product families: hot wax technology, which liquefies waxes, oils and release agents inside the unit and sprays them solvent-free; compressed air and material heating, which warms atomizing air and coating material directly at the point of use; extraction and filtration with paint booth filters and a small spray booth for trials.
What VISECO does
Registered office and development: Flurstraße 11 b, 86551 Aichach, district of Aichach-Friedberg, Germany. KUNDE: Which manufacturing steps take place in Aichach (Question 10)? Only with an answer will this read "manufactured in Aichach".
Since the 1990s: from MK Heißwachstechnik to VISECO
Hot wax technology from Aichach is older than today's company. Under the name MK Heißwachstechnik, the first in-house hot wax systems were created from the early 1990s onwards; in 1998 the trade press described the "Duoline" hot wax spray gun with cup or cartridge system, and in 2000 the pressure tank system and the Airtherm atomizing air heater. KUNDE: This background comes from trade articles (BM 1998/2000) and directories – please confirm and feel free to add to it.
VISECO GmbH emerged from this at the end of the 1990s. KUNDE: The website names 1996 as the founding by the current owner, the commercial register 1998 as the spin-off of the hot wax technology division from MK Lackier- und Materialförderanlagen Vertriebs-GmbH – which account should be used? W1
Two developments that shape the products to this day
- The hot wax spray gun. Triggered by the demand for natural wood surfaces: wax is liquefied in the heated cup of the gun and sprayed with the same unit – manually or automated. Today: Duoline 2.0 with heated 0.4 l cup and heated nozzle, 20–95 °C.
- The compressed air heater. A flow heater that warms the atomizing air directly at the atomizer instead of in the line. Today: Airtherm, 20–100 °C, as a standard and ATEX version, for manual spray guns, flat-surface spraying machines and painting robots.
The "Wachstherm" pressure tank became today's hot wax pressure tank system, and the Airtherm 3.3/4.1 series became the current Airtherm. Owners of this equipment: see "Do you own equipment from MK Heißwachstechnik, a Duo Line or a Wachstherm?" below.
Solvent-free spraying, less material, less air
The claim of protecting the environment and resources can be checked against the equipment:
- Hot wax technology works without solvents. The material is made sprayable by heat, not by dilution – no VOC input from thinner, no flushing with the pressure tank system, because the material stays in the system.
- Heated atomizing air reduces consumption. According to the Airtherm brochure: material savings of up to 30 %, air consumption reduced by up to 180 l/min, noise level lowered by up to 8 dB, less overspray and therefore fewer filter changes.
- Heated material instead of dilution for airless spraying. WarmUp brings the coating material to up to 60 °C; viscosity drops and the spraying pressure can be reduced.

Do you own equipment from MK Heißwachstechnik, a Duo Line or a Wachstherm?
Equipment from earlier series – the Duo Line hot wax spray gun (with cup or cartridge), the Wachstherm pressure tank, Airtherm 3.3 and 4.1 – is still running in many workshops. KUNDE: Spare parts, maintenance and repair for these series – what is offered, up to which year of manufacture? Without an answer this block is dropped. Tell us the model, year of manufacture and serial number, and we will check what is possible.
