Technical Description

The spray gun model Misch-N Automatik is an automatically working spray gun with
pressure vessel connection and adjustable flat-wide-round spray jet. It is most suit-
able for the application of many two-component materials. The components are
individually fed to the gun and mixed outside the gun in the spray jet.
The gun works in connection with a pilot valve with ventilation. If possible, this pilot
valve should operate both the piston with the material needles and the spraying air.
One must thereby make sure that the spraying air is switched on first, with the pilot
air following directly after. When ending the spraying process this sequence is
reversed. This is the only way to prevent premature or subsequent dripping of the
gun.
