Catalogue covers industrial finishing solutions
"Industrial finishing solutions" is the title of a newly published brochure from Sames that provides the reader with a good overview of the company and its products.
Designed for general industrial use but employing technology proven in car finishing, the PPH 308 is available with a variety of shaping air shrouds and bell-cup combinations to suit the application.
For example, the vortex combination has been introduced specifically for the application of metallic and mica paints.
The vortex effect also enables paints to penetrate recesses and areas not normally coated by existing bell technology.
The choice of accessories provides the finest atomisation and control over many pattern sizes and allows the use of a range of paints including those with up to 70% solids.
As the system can be tailored to suit the application, it is unsurpassed in the quality of finish and coverage it can achieve, particularly in cavities.
The high atomisation efficiency is ensured by the magnetic air bearing turbine that operates at a speed of 50,000rev/min.
This speed is achieved without any vibration thanks to an efficient damping system.
The paint acquires its electric charge from the edge of the cup and its flight to the product surface is guided by the electrostatic field, shaped by the air shroud.
The basic PPH 308 has an internal charge and is therefore mostly used for the spraying of metallics, varnishes and solvent-based products.
However the system can be easily and quickly changed for spraying water-based paints by fitting an external charge 'candelabra' adaptor and high voltage cable.
Thanks to its robust, low-maintenance design and exceptional versatility, the PPH 308 is ideal for a broad range of industrial applications and will typically be used for spraying metallic furniture, agricultural and construction equipment, wooden products, aluminium extrusions and lubricant used in the process of coil coating.
