Using the right tool for the job is no exception when it comes
to powder coating. It is difficult to
powder coat a part properly with the wrong control devices. Therefore it is
important to use the best-suited powder gun tips to control and direct the flow
of powder as it leaves the tip of the gun.
The deflector tip is the most common pattern device. It directs the powder flow into a round
pattern. This creates a larger powder
pattern than a gun without a deflector therefore increasing the area the powder
covers. The deflector also reduces the
powder velocity, which increases the electrostatic charge of the powder.
Deflector size
effects on powder coating:
- Determines peak film build and uniformity
- Determines size and coverage of the cloud
- Concentrates powder along edges of pattern
- Gives a more uniform deposit with moving parts
Taking time to examine your application methods and investing in
pattern control devices will pay off with improved coating efficiency and
product quality, saving you time and money.
