Spray Guns and Applicators

Spray guns and applicators form a coating by directing atomized paints, adhesives, liquids or powders toward a surface. Atomization (wet spray) is a coating process using wet spray paint or fluid coating media where a spray gun directs a coating or paint aerosol toward the part's surface. The paint or coating aerosol is formed using a rotary (spinning disc or bell) atomizer, an ultrasonic atomizer or by forcing the media through a nozzle with pressure. Ultrasonic atomization processes use a transducer vibrating at ultrasonic frequencies to form a fine aerosol or mist of the coating material. Spray guns and applicators are also used in electrostatic powder coating systems, fluidized bed systems.
