Color change system
In painting technology, the color change system is used to apply different colors to surfaces efficiently and precisely. This system allows painters to switch between different colors without having to clean the entire spray gun. Essentially, the color change system is based on special paint spray guns that have several color channels. Each channel is filled with a specific color and the painter can seamlessly switch between colors using a control mechanism.
The spray gun is connected to a system of valves and hoses that allows the paint supply to be controlled. When the painter wants to change colors, he activates the corresponding mechanism on the gun, which closes the valve for the current color and opens the valve for the new color. In this way, the new color can flow through the system and spray out of the paint nozzle without leaving any residue of the previous color.
This color change system is particularly useful in situations where quick color changes are required, such as when painting cars or other vehicles. It saves time, reduces paint loss and increases the overall efficiency of the painting process. In addition, it enables precise colouring and minimizes the risk of paint contamination or unwanted mixing between different colors.
Overall, the color change system has played an essential role in improving the productivity and quality of paint jobs and remains an indispensable tool for professional painters and paint shops.
