INTRODUCTION
In the air assisted/airless spraying process, the spraying material is atomized at pressures between
400 – 1800 PSI (3 – 12.4 MPa). The atomizing air at 7 – 32 PSI (0 – 0.22 MPa) produces a soft spray
jet that eliminates problems of overlaps in the boundary zone. The soft spray jet prevents the
spraying material from rebounding to the gun. The form air reduces or increases the spray jet
width, depending on the adjustment of the air adjustment knob. Due to the cleaning-friendly
design of the tip and the lack of air holes near the material outlet, the tip is virtually self-cleaning.
When the trigger of the gun is pulled, the air valve opens allowing atomizing and fan jet air to flow
up to the tip. The material valve opens only when the trigger is pulled to its fullest extent.
The amount of air for the spray jet width is adjusted using the air adjustment knob. The air input
should be adjusted at the source to approximately 0 – 32 PSI (0 – 0.22 MPa).
