Operation
WARNING:
Wear an approved respirator, protective clothing, and gloves when
handling powder. Avoid skin contact with powder coatings, or breathing powder
particles.
1. Fill the hopper half full of powder, to provide room for expansion as the powder
is fluidized. Do not overfill. Overfilling may prevent powder from being fully
fluidized, and affect coating performance.
2. Turn on the fluidizing air, and adjust the regulator until the powder is gently
“boiling.” The air mixed with the powder will cause it to increase in volume.
Fluidize the powder for five or ten minutes to make sure it is evenly fluidized
and no clumps are left before spraying.
Maintenance
Periodically, empty the hopper and clean the interior. Clean the fluidizing plate and
inspect it for signs of air contamination. If the plate is discolored and appears to be
contaminated, replace it. Check your air supply and correct any contamination
problems.
