bar), check the pressure gauge of 
the local pressure regulator 

No transport air present 

Check the hose connection of the 
control unit to the Application pump 
Check the compressed air supply 

 

No fluidization in the suction 
zone 

Ensure the fluidization

than 1.2 bar 

Powder hose is too long or too thin 
Powder hose is clogged or bend 
(clean or replace it) 
Filter elements (filter 
chamber/pinch valve hose) are 
clogged (clean or replace them) 

 

Filter elements tend to clogging 

Run the rinsing program, replace
