SPRAYING PROCESS

4.5.1

AIR ATOMIZING SPRAY PROCESS - ROUND JET

In this process, the material (paint) is fed to the nozzle with low pressure (0.05-0.2 MPa; 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. There are various nozzles and air caps available as accessories for the
respective spraying material and the output amounts.

AIR ATOMIZING SPRAY PROCESS - FLAT JET
In this process, the material (paint) is fed to the nozzle with low pressure (0.05-0.2 MPa; 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. The spray jet can be changed using the shaping air. There are various
nozzles and air caps available as accessories for the respective spraying material and the output amounts.
