OptiFlow IG07 

If the powder transport becomes irregular, the so-called "pumping" takes 
place. 

In order to prevent this from happening, supplementary air is added until 
the volume of the air in the powder hose is sufficient available once more. 

The conveying quality depends on the quality of the powder, the powder 
hose length, the hose diameter and the number of hose curvatures. Place 
great importance on the insert sleeve condition, because clogging or 
sintering causes the powder output to reduce drastically. 

 

Powder volume setting for OptiFlow Injector 

In order to set the ideal powder volume on the OptiStar gun control unit, it 
is recommended to select the firmness of the powder cloud or the total air 
first. As guide values for different powder hoses, the following can be 
assumed: 

– 

Powder hose 74 type, Ø 10 mm, 

3-5 m³/h

 

– 

Powder hose 66 type, Ø 11 mm, 

4-5 m³/h

 

According to the prevailing conditions (powder, powder hose layout, the 
parts to be coated) a low to lowest total air can also be set with the 
standard hose 74 type, Ø 10 mm. 

If a very large powder output is required, it is recommended to select a 
larger powder hose internal diameter (Ø 12 mm). 
 

 

It should to be noted, that if irregular or pumping conveying occurs, as 
a rule, the total air is set too low!
