  • Page 4: Rea And Vector Applicator Spray Techniques

    (Electrostatic) Applicators ector (Electrostatic) Applicators Savings of 25% to 50% in paint is possible when you replace conventional air spray with ITW Ransburg Electrostatic Applicators. You finish curved and recessed surfaces uniformly in fewer passes, because combined air and electrostatic forces literally follow the shape of the work surface. Bounce losses from work are reduced by the electrostatic attraction, when proper techniques are used.
  • Page 5: Fan Control

    The size of the object being coated is the determining factor in adjusting the fan pattern; the larger the object, the larger the required fan pattern. Fan control of the ITW Ransburg REA/Vector applicators is accomplished by rotating the adjusting knob located at the rear of the applicator. Fan width can be set for approximately a 3-inch width (minimum) to approximately a 14-inch (maximum).

  • Page 8: Overlap

    REA/Vector Applicators Spray Techniques OVERLAP OVERLAP OVERLAP OVERLAP OVERLAP For best hiding and uniformity of film thickness, stroke overlap should be approximately 50%. There should be some overlap at the top and bottom of the part to increase edge coverage. Overlap requirements can vary widely with different paint formulations and different compositions of objects being coated.

  • Page 11: Recessed Areas

    REA/Vector Applicators Spray Techniques RECESSED AREAS RECESSED AREAS RECESSED AREAS RECESSED AREAS RECESSED AREAS Do not depend on electrostatic attraction alone for coating recessed areas, remember, the more exposed areas of the object have a stronger attraction for charged paint formulations than the recessed areas, therefore, the electrostatically charged paint particles will take the path of least resistance, and tend to build excessively on the more exposed areas.
  • Page 12: Summary

    REA/Vector Applicators Spray Techniques SUMMARY SUMMARY SUMMARY SUMMARY SUMMARY Adjust fan pattern in accordance with size of object to be coated. Never swing spray applicator in an arc, hold applicator steady in a position at right angles to the object and move applicator in a straight path parallel to object.
  • Page 13 REA/Vector Applicators Spray Techniques For most economical and efficient coating, trigger applicator "ON" just before leading edge of object, trigger applicator "OFF" just after trailing edge of target. For best wraparound technique, trigger applicator "ON" 3-inches before, and "OFF" 3-inches after edges of target.
