Airtherm – the air heater
Airtherm information
The Airtherm functions as a flow heater for compressed air. . It is attached directly to the atomizer and replaces the actual compressed air line. The warm air can thus heat the atomizer and the corresponding nozzle constantly and without loss.
- The compressor air cools the spray head of the spray gun to below 5°C in some cases. This makes the paint more viscous and harder to atomize.
- Warm atomizing air has a positive effect on spray application.
The system is also available in an ATEX version.
The advantages at a glance
- Low atomizer pressure
- Less material and air consumption
- Low disposal costs
- Low noise level
- Shorter drying times due to finer atomization
- VOC emissions can be significantly reduced
- More coating thickness per operation
- Significantly higher runner limit
- Use of paints with a higher solids content
- Constant working temperature in any environment
