ITW Gema Automatic Powder Systems
Powder coating is increasingly accepted as the preferred finishing process for the future for many applications.
ITW Gema are the recognised world leader in Automatic Powder Coating Systems, incorporating reciprocator mounted automatic powder guns, quick colour change booth, magic powder centre, bulk bag feed unit and high capacity cyclone and after filter.
ITW Gema’s technology, quality, and research, coupled with the spares and service backup of The Surface Finishing Equipment Group - Hogg Blasting and Finishing Equipment in the Northeast UK, and Abraclean in Northwest UK bring our customers the decisive advantages in powder coating technology.
The Surface Finishing Equipment Group can supply the full range of Automatic Powder Coating Systems, Guns, Controls, and Injector Pumps which benefit from the features shown.
ITW Gema Automatic Optigun
- OptiGun Automatic Powder Gun, with an integrated cascade power supply producing 100,000 volts of power, provides maximum charging at the tip of the gun.
- Improved design ensures longer life and better reliability.
- Contoured-body design prevents powder from collecting, making cleaning easier.
- Sealed gun-body design stops powder from entering the internal cavity, eliminating potential voltage and color-change contamination problems.
- Enlarged tube diameter provides softer spray patterns, allowing the electrostatics to have greater control and increased transfer efficiency.
- Quick-change hose connector and replaceable, threaded powder-tube enable quick removal and easy maintenance.
- Compatibility with all nozzles and extensions for the manual powder guns, simplifying replacement of wear parts.
- Optional Super Corona ring can be added to minimize orange peel and improve penetration.
ITW Gema Optistar Control Drawer
- OPTISTAR’s patented Digital Valve Control, offers a new standard of precision and more uniform film thickness, resulting in lower operating costs
- DVC automatically adjusts all air required for powder coating, ensuring air flow accuracy to plus or minus 1%..
- Unmatched program storage capacity (up to 250) allows for fast recall of all settings for any application.
- Unprecedented control over voltage, current, electrode rinsing air, powder output, and air volume give you the ability to repeat quality performance–every time.
- Remote gun triggering and purging can be operated from the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).
- OptiStar communicates with your PLC, allowing for advanced diagnostics and programmability.
- Optional Flow-Control Module™ for closed-loop control of the total air volume for consistent powder delivery and accuracy.
- Rinse air selection buttons ensure correct air volume, keeping the electrode clean, and maximizing transfer efficiency.
- Help code display simplifies operator troubleshooting.
ITW Gema Optiflow Injector
- Advanced engineering of OPTIFLOW™ High Performance Powder Pump ensures uniform powder delivery for every application.
- Keyed quick disconnects facilitate fast installation and removal.
- Only one major wear part keeps spare parts and operational costs exceptionally low.
- Check valves and plug-in design promote reliability and easy maintenance.
- Precision-manufactured injector jet stays in place, assuring proper flow every time.
- Easy-to-clean design requires no disassembly for most color changes.
