Our aim is to eliminate wasteful overspray and get as much coating material on the target as possible. This is achieved by negatively charging atomized paint particles so that they are attracted to the grounded workpiece, opposites attract. A charging electrode is located at the tip of the electrostatic spray gun or atomizer. The paint is atomized as it moves past the electrode, and its particles become ionized - negatively charged. An electrostatic field is created between the charging electrode and the grounded workpiece, and the spray is concentrated within it.
Further atomization is achieved as charged particles repel each other to form a fine clould.
Electrostatics is an environmentally responsible way to atomize paint, because it signifcantly increases quality and production, equally decreases paint costs, VOC emissions and maintenance, and makes change of coatings easy. When you want to achieve maximum transfer efficiency and minimize coating waste and VOC emissions, while achieving maximum paint wrap, high production and high flow rates. We build our guns with the operator in mind. With new modular design, ITW Ransburg has been the leader in electrostatics for years. The new 9040 Cascade Control Unit has the added benefit of putting total control at your fingertips.
