Powder Coating I Manual spray guns

Manual Spraying with
Increased Surface Coverage
A new range of manual spray guns provides 110 kilovolts of charging capacity and 110 microampsof charging current at the press of a button. This additional power allows all types of coatings to beapplied quickly and reliably.

Painting large areas with manual sprayguns requires time and strength. Coaters can become tired and the qualityof the coating may deteriorate as a result. For this reason, the new OptiSelectPro manual spray gun developed by Gema is equipped with a button that provides 110 kilovolts of charging capacityand 110 microamps of additional charging energy. This PowerBoost function results in increased surface coverage and asignificant improvement in productivity.
The maximum charging power of 110 kilovolts across the entire working area ensures that the powder particles are perfectly charged, regardless of the type ofpowder. The spray gun and all the accessories in the new range of products
have been designed, tested and certified
for maximum operating safety. Despite
its high power, the spray gun is both lightin weight and well-balanced, while alsobeing robust and durable.

High-performance application
process and precise control© GemaThe PowerBoost function is the result of
the interaction between the spray gun,the control system and the flat spray nozzle. Together these components provide
excellent surface coverage and an enlarged powder cloud. This has the same
effect as a broad brush stroke and allows
the coaters to work quickly and apply thecoatings perfectly.
The highly efficient application process,the precise control with the reliable DVC
and PCC functions and the range of modern spray nozzles are just some of theother advantages of the new generation of20

equipment. These manual spray guns canproduce high-quality results in a shorttime over large areas, on parts with complex shapes and using challenging metallic powders.

Checks using a smartphone
The spray guns come as standard withthe latest OptiStar 4.0 control system andare compatible with Gema’s E-App. Coaters and production managers can monitor the productivity and maintenance data and access configuration and system
information from their smartphones.

Integrated cleaning function
During colour changes, the integrated
cleaning function can be used to clean
the entire powder path from the injector
to the tip of the nozzle at the press of abutton. A PowerClean function is available as an optional extra for even morethorough cleaning. The housing of thecontrol unit now has a non-stick coating
to prevent powder from adhering to it.
This considerably reduces the amount ofcleaning work needed. An off-centre column provides more room for the powder
hopper and allows for greater manoeuvrability, which makes the system easyto use.

Only one wear partThe guns are equipped as standard with
the new version of the OptiFlow injector,
which has only one wearing part. If thisone-part nozzle is replaced, the injector isreturned to its new condition. The OptiFlow produces measurable improvements
in transfer efficiency. Some of the OptiFlow Pro models are available with theOptiSpray application pump which provides a highly consistent and reproducible powder output. //Contact
