Electrostatic paint spray guns

The electrostatic spray gun is an advanced technology that is widely used in surface coating. Unlike conventional spray guns, it uses an electrostatic charge to apply the paint to the object to be coated. By applying an electrical voltage to the paint, it becomes positively charged while the object to be painted is grounded, creating a strong force of attraction between the two. This allows the paint to be evenly distributed over the entire surface, including hard-to-reach areas and edges.

Electrostatic painting offers several advantages over conventional methods. Due to the electrostatic attraction, less paint is required as a large proportion of the paint actually adheres to the surface instead of being atomized. This leads to a higher paint yield and at the same time reduces the environmental impact of paint mist and solvents. In addition, electrostatic painting produces a smoother surface with fewer runs and nibs, reducing the need for rework and increasing productivity.

Electrostatic paint spray guns are used in various industries, including automotive manufacturing, furniture production, metalworking and many more. Their ability to deliver a high quality and efficient paint finish has made them an indispensable tool for professional painters and industrial users.
