Powder Flame Spray Gun 5PM-II

This process is basically the spraying of molten material onto a surface to provide a coating. Material in powder form is melted in a flame to form a fine spray. When the spray contacts the prepared surface of a substrate material, the fine molten droplets rapidly solidify forming a coating.

The main advantage of this flame spray process over the similar Combustion wire spray process is that a much wider range of materials can be easily processed into powder form giving a larger choice of coatings. The flame spray process is only limited by materials with higher melting temperatures than the flame can provide or if the material decomposes on heating.

The 5PM-II is a very economical and versatile, handheld, Powder Spray Gun for combustion powder spray that can be used to apply coatings for a variety of applications such as surface repairs, dimensional restoration, corrosion protection and wear resistance. With its built in powder feed canister, a thermal spray system utilizing the 5PM-II gun is an excellent choice for shops with occasional surfacing activity or when an economical investment is required. The 5PM-II is suitable for all-purpose use in that it can apply a wide range of coating materials such as self-fluxing alloys, ceramics, self bonding materials and conventional materials such as steels, stainless steels, bronze, aluminum-based and nickel-based alloys. Designed for handheld operation, the 5PM-II is lightweight and employs a 'pistol-grip' handle for operator comfort and safety. A tool post fixture is also included to rest the gun during work piece changeover or for machine-mount operation.

PROPERTIES OF COATING POWDERS

When a material is flame-sprayed, a new and different material is created. This is the reason that quality of coating depends upon quality of powder. A slight variation in powder chemistry can greatly influence the property of final coating.
The particle size distribution in a powder can affect the density and porosity of the coating. Our Powders meet tough standards on chemical composition, particle shape & size, flow rate & purity.

STANDARD ACCESSORIES

Air Jet Assembly
If additional workpiece cooling is required or if denser, harder coatings are desirable, the 2PSA Air Jet Assembly is available. Designed for attachment to the front of the 5P-II gun, it injects high velocity air into the spray stream. Adjustable cooling tubes can be focused towards any part of the spray stream or directly onto the workpiece.

Vibrator
For certain fine materials or powders that are not freely flowing, the 5PM Vibrator is available in single phase 220V AC/110 VAC

Extension Nozzle
Extension Nozzle for the 5PM-II gun permit coating of interior bore diameters and surfaces, and are available in three standard lengths:
305mm - 1 Feet
610mm - 2 Feet
910mm - 3 Feet
