Presented by Dürr and HSM, a new, low-pressure spray gun, the EcoGun ACE, makes color changes faster and easier. Dürr and HSM Lackiersysteme partnered to develop a rapid-change system for the color channel. The spray gun is ready to use again within seconds after changing colors without solvents. This feature is ideal for the car repair sector, where small-batch painting is standard.
The EcoGun ACE, has a robust design well suited for industrial use. It provides an exceptional spray pattern with application efficiency and simplifies color changing with quick exchange injector nozzles. A spill-proof cup system from HSM Lackiersysteme enhances the new product. The cup system incorporates both a safety lock and a soiling guard to always ensure good legibility of the measuring scales. The product is well-suited for applications in various areas such as woodworking, vehicle paintwork repairs, and yacht and boat building applications.
Previous feed cup spray guns are equipped with a cup that holds paint. When it’s time to change color, the cup must either be flushed and refilled or replaced with a new cup containing the appropriate color. In addition, all the channels that carry color between the cup and nozzle require flushing to prevent paint contamination or commingling. This process is time-intensive and requires solvent use. This new system replaces the entire color channel, including the nozzle, quickly and easily, so the spray gun is ready for use again within a few seconds, for time savings of 90% compared with conventional low-pressure guns. It even makes solvent use obsolete.
“In partnership with HSM, we are pleased to offer a very user-friendly product that sets new standards for low-pressure guns,” said Ulrich Tautz, senior sales manager of Industrial Products, Dürr. “Our spray guns will make painting easier, particularly for applications such as woodworking or the car repair sector where varnishing jobs with small amounts of varnish and lots of color changes are the norm.” The spray gun is distributed directly by Dürr and its partners.
