Which electrostatic painting system to choose?

December 31, 2009

My company is starting on a repair job for small LPG cylinder (26cm/10" diameter and 30cm height/12") that require repainting around 2000 of that LPG cylinder per shift. We are building a conventional water spraybooth with overhead conveyor system. Now we are in the process of choosing the paint gun system. I have decided to use electrostatic to save paint and less overspray.

I am considering system that do not use external power pack/electricity and the other one has external power pack that require electricity. Which one is better? I am thinking about better transfer rate, safety, longevity, and easy to use (maintenance). Thanks for the suggestion.

I would ask the gun supplier if you can borrow a demo gun of each one you wish to evaluate for a few days... then after using each one on your plant YOU will be the one who knows which gun is suitable.
