GM 2800EA EDITION 10/2005 PART NO. DOC0388891 OPERATING MANUAL AIR ATOMIZING SPRAY PROCESS 4.5.1 ROUND AND FLAT JET In this process, the material (paint) is fed to the tip with low pressure at approx. 0.05-0.2MPa; 0.5-2 bar; 7-29 psi. The atomizing air at approx. 0.25-0.4 MPa; 2.5-4 bar; 36-58 psi produces a soft jet, which largely eliminates the problem of overlapping boundaries.
GM 2800EA EDITION 10/2005 PART NO. DOC0388891 OPERATING MANUAL 4.5.4 ELECTROSTATIC EFFECT The spray gun produces an electrostatic fi eld by means of the high voltage electrode. As a result, the particles of paint, which have been atomized by the spray gun, are carried to the earthed object by kinetic and electrostatic energy where they adhere, fi...
Fan air regulation Mains air inlet The spray gun GM 2800EA must be used a part of an electrostatic spraying system. The spraying system shown in the fi gure is only one example of an electrostatic Aircoat spray- ing system. It is not an actual system design. Contact your WAGNER distributor for assis- tance in designing a system to meet your needs.
