General notes applying to all guns Introduction The manual powder guns with the integrated high voltage generator are designed to apply electrostatically chargeable powder on grounded work-pieces. The guns are designed with state of the art of technology. The parts are assembled in a simple manner which assures easy maintenance and repair.
Generation of high tension I llustration 1 Basic operation of the gun The powder gun with the integrated high voltage generator (Pos.1 in Illustration 1 above) is supplied from the central drawer by the cable (pos.2) with low voltage of 16 kHz frequency.
The Manual Guns Type MG801 and MG801S Introduction The Manual Gun Series MG801 is a very rugged, well balanced, and light unit, designed to withstand day-to-day powder coating operations. This gun is delivered as standard with all units of Type 5100, but it may be used on any of the many INSA units.
The Manual Gun Type 850 Introduction The INSA Manual Gun MG850 was specially designed to be used with the INSA Series 5800 Smartcoat Drawer Type 5800. With this drawer, it can offer special functionality, as described below. The Series 850 Manual gun will operate on any INSA Drawer. The drawer may limit its functionality though, and not allow the use of all the push button functions at the gun.
Settings at the gun I llustration 4 Settings at the gun High voltage adjustment The gun has a switch (Position 1 in Illustration 4) which allows the adaptation of the voltage to difficult coating situations (Faraday corners).
The Automatic Gun AG800 Generalities The automatic gun AG800 is available in different variants, which are different in their polatity, and input voltage. Those differences have been color coded: Color Variant Green Standardvariant,negativepolarity Positivepolarity Grey Negativepolarity,9Vinputvoltage The muzzles and other accessories are compatible with the automatic gun, so please consult the respective sections to find a muzzle suitable for your application.

Recommended voltage settings for typical applications The adjustment of the voltage can be done at the control drawer type 5100 or 5800, or the panel of the 5300 Series 'Suitcase' Unit. The powder application is variable, and depends on several external factors: Type of powder used •...
Using Muzzles The use of different muzzles As described below, muzzles can be used to adapt the powder cloud to different situations. There are two different types of muzzles available, as shown in Illustration 5. Position 1 on the left hand side depicts a deflector muzzle, Position 2 on the right shows a flat spray muzzle.
Function of a deflector muzzle I llustration 6 Function of a deflector muzzle Position 1 in Illustration 6 shows the powder flow. The deflector cleaning air prevents a powder buildup at the deflector (Pos. 2)
Illustration 7 Function of a flat spray muzzle Function of a flat spray muzzle As can be seen in Illustration 7, the powder exits through the slot of the muzzle and creates a flat cloud (Pos. 1). The speed at the exit can be adjusted through the pressure of the cleaning air (Pos. 2).
Options available with INSA Guns Various options are available with INSA guns: Triboelectric Versions instead of electrostatic versions • Muzzle extensions • Low Ion Adaptor • Cup Gun Attachment • Triboelectric Versions INSA guns are available for both triboelectric charging as well as electrostatic charging. ...
Low Ion Adaptor All INSA guns can be equipped with a low ion adaptor. Illustration 8 shows an MG801 with such an adaptor. The adaptor reduces the number of free ions. Its use will result in the following: More uniform coating, esp.
Cup Gun Attachment All manual units allow the mounting of a cup gun attachment. Such an attachment is shown in illustration 9 below. The attachment is usually mounted where the powder hose would be and has the following benefits: Allows small quantities of powder to be used •...
