The airless spray gun, type KS1, is used to coat surfaces such as metal, plastic, ceramics, wood and similar materials as well as other suitable surfaces. Typical coating materials include paints, dyes, water-soluble paints, adhesives, oils, release agents etc.
The KS1 gun can also be used to process abrasive coating materials at operating pressures below 5 MPa (50 bar). The coating material is supplied to the spray gun in liquid form under high material pressure.
The spray gun works on the airless principle in other words, the spray jet is generated solely by the high fluid pressure as it passes through a nozzle. After exiting the nozzle, the spray jet takes on the shape dictated by the nozzle. The jet is directed at the workpiece, and the effective spray jet is not quite as wide as theoretically possible.
The particles of the spray jet reach far higher speeds than with spray guns driven by compressed air. Accordingly, the material throughput is higher and the jet more focused (in other words, the swirling zone is smaller). The size and shape of the jet can only be altered by changing the nozzle. The diameter of the nozzle bore determines the material flow volume, while the size and geometry of the elliptically shaped nozzle opening determine the height and width of the jet (shape of an elliptical cone).
