Hybrid Radiant Tube Burn-Off System

ACE Equipment Co. will demonstrate the new Hybrid Radiant Tube Burn-Off oven system, which provides an efficient, uniform way to clean paint racks, hooks, fixtures and reject parts. Temperature uniformity of plus or minus 10° is achieved and there are no hot or cold spots throughout the oven chamber. Other advantages include fast cycle times, quick energy transfer compared with convection-only ovens, minimal maintenance and durability.

HDLV Automatic Powder Spray Gun

The lightweight, contoured Prodigy automatic powder spray gun is designed for precision dispensing with HDLV (high-density powder, low-volume air) technology. HDLV dense phase powder transport means more powder with less air to propel, resulting in more powder on the part and high transfer efficiency.

Nordson Corp. 800-626-8303

Booth 1019

New Coating Thickness Gauge

DeFelsko Corp. announces the new PosiTest DFT coating thickness gauge. Available in two models, Ferrous for steel or Combo for all metals, the PosiTest DFT is an economical choice that provides the proven quality of DeFelsko inspection instruments.

Pressure Island 888-334-7327

Booth 1527

Powder Thickness Gauge

The Elcometer 550 powder thickness gauge uses a novel, noncontact measurement technique based on a high-frequency ultrasonic transducer to predict the final cured thickness of uncured powder coatings on a range of substrates. Fully portable, the gauge is easy to use and provides accurate and quick measurements.

Elcometer 800-521-0635

Special-Effect Products

Blaze-Illusion decorative powder coatings are formulated in polyester resin systems for exterior durability. This new line of special-effect products are affected greatly by light source and positioning of the part being coated. Blaze-Illusion coatings are designed to be applied as one-coat systems and may exhibit different degrees of metallic effect based upon spray gun tips used.
