HVLP Air Spray
Devilbiss Compact HVLP Gun
The DeVilbiss "Blue" Compact gun allows you to maintain EPA compliance and produce a superb finish. Built to provide outstanding coating atomization, the "Blue" Compact can handle all types of solvent and waterborne materials. The highest performance is coupled with a gun body light in weight and designed for operator comfort to increase productivity.
Available in siphon, pressure, or gravity feed models.
HVLP Air Spray
Dux Pressure Feed Manual Spray Gun
Typically used in industrial environments where large quantities of the same coatings are sprayed throughout the day, this product receives both atomizing air and fluid through the base of the gun for better balance and ease of use.
An AFS Green Product, DUX spray guns use lower operating pressures, which decreases booth fog and overspray, creating a healthier work environment. Because less material is wasted, fewer VOCs and other hazardous pollutants are released into the atmosphere, therefore, reducing regulatory burdens.
HVLP Air Spray
Dux Gravity-Feed Manual Spray Gun
Used when smaller quantities of coating or more frequent material changes are required, this version of the DUX spray gun is designed with a center mounted fluid cup and a shorter barrel than competing guns. This allows it to fit into tight spaces while maintaining a balanced and lightweight feel for the operator.
An AFS Green Product, DUX spray guns use lower operating pressures, which decreases booth fog and overspray, creating a healthier work environment. Because less material is wasted, fewer VOCs and other hazardous pollutants are released into the atmosphere, therefore reducing regulatory burdens.
HVLP Air Spray
Dux Automatic Spray Gun
Used with robotic applicators or reciprocators, this version of the DUX gun is mounted directly to automated spray equipment. Its compact design leads to a nearly 25% reduction in weight over other automatic guns, resulting in less component fatigue on reciprocators and robotics equipment.
An AFS Green Product, DUX spray guns use lower operating pressures, which decreases booth fog and overspray. Less paint build up on equipment makes clean up easier and extends the life of mechanical parts. Clearer air creates a healthier work environment. Because less material is wasted, fewer VOCs and other hazardous pollutants are released into the atmosphere, therefore reducing regulatory burdens.
Portable Powder Coating Units
Nordson Prodigy Manual Gun System
Uses Prodigy™ High Density Low Velocity (HDLV™) dense phase pumping technology--the Prodigy HDLV pump ensures constant powder output over time without the need for venturis. The resulting powder cloud has high concentration of powder, very little air, creating a soft spray pattern and increasing transfer efficiency. Features a stylish interface with easy to use graphical interface with selectable language, automatic Feedback Control (AFC) and Select-Charge® functions allowing operators to optimise performance across a range of products types. Color change button automatically purge-cleans the whole system, including the pump, and the system has 10 user configurable presets.
An AFS green product, the Prodigy can help you manage usage of your powder more economically, through much greater transfer efficiency for less material usage.
