. I'm here with Mark, who developed this

system

, and he's going to explain to you what makes it a unit. professional now, if you are not. familiar with Eastwood and

powder

coating

, we have been involved in powder coating for more than 20 years, right brand, yes, we started in '96, we developed a DIY powder coating industry, we have two of them that are available now yes, our original DIY and our dual voltage, both very popular, but I can say this one looks very different, yes, much bigger and much more controlled, yes, this is our new Eastwood

elite

, this is our professional system, The couple is no longer in the gun, you have two different hoppers. we have the 5 pound hopper you see here for fluidizing and we also have a 2 pound hopper for small jobs.

We kept the control unit simple, with no digital displays that will fail your analog gauges. You basically have to fluidize the powder air and then the adjustable kV on the unit keeps it simple keeps costs down and keeps it very reliable well that's great now that you mentioned all these controls can you explain to me what they do? Yes, and you know why they are important in professional units. Yes, unit itself, this is basically the heart, the gun itself, we have the high voltage power supply here, so you will use this to do your part, you will have a feed hose that goes from here to this hopper or to the small 2 pound hopper is very easy to use, you put about 50 psi of air in the back of the unit and 120 volts for electricity and to turn it on you adjust the fluidizing air which fluidizes the powder in the hopper and it keeps it like this. in suspension makes it easy to deliver to the gun and then you just adjust the air in your gun here which will determine the volume and velocity of the powder coming out of the gun so if you have a small valve cap, dial everything down to You're not wasting a lot of dust, but if you get something like a Harley frame or some big outdoor furniture, you get it going, get it real quick.

So what are the advantages of a professional unit like this with all these controls and the separate hopper? I know, and a gun like that, unlike other DIY units, the biggest and most important one is the kV, which is the kilovolt. Any of these professional units will reach approximately one hundred thousand volts or 100 kV, which causes them to burn out. here at the emitter is where you will have such a high charge that I will inherit, every particle that passes through that ionized air comes out and picks up a high voltage, our Jun wants to go to your grounded object, so when you crank it up, that helps, like I said before, let's say, have a big chase, noisy metal outdoor furniture, you can put that dust down quickly, you can get a lot of feedback, since the high voltage charge covers the piece very quickly, while the small guns They were If you go down around 15 kV, it's for smaller pieces, so you get that big part, it would just take a while and this doesn't let you know much faster.

Recently the guys have been powder coating wheels because the wheels have a lot of very intricate shapes. as another advantage of a gun like this, yes it also has a misting nozzle, what it will do is bring the air or powder to a large, low volume but high density amount of powder to hit those Faraday or ionization areas Subsequently, now you mentioned the areas of the Faraday cage, the Faraday cage effect, could you explain it, yes, briefly, what is it? That is the gentle Faraday, he is the real gentleman who, if you want to say, discovered the abnormality with high voltage or any type of electrostatic charge. paint or dust when you have an inside area and an inside corner, what will happen is that when you direct that high bowl charge there, you will build up a negative or equal charge there so that the dust no longer has anything to attract.

So those are the areas where you want to hit them quickly and hit them first, cover those areas and then come back and do the rest of your item, so with a weapon like that you probably won't have too many problems, which is great. for those, yes, and it will overcome those problems much easier than the other weapons. Well, what if you want to make metals with high metal content? What do you want to do, like multiple layers? And you have the ability. I know a lot about low-end weapons. a lot of times you know you're stuck with just one coat, yeah wheels, a lot of people want to do primers and then coats and maybe they want to do effects.
You know, is that one advantage of the professional over a DIY home, yeah, is because what what you can do now is you can really dial it down, you know the kV, like I said, is adjustable from ten ten thousand to one hundred thousand when you start. When applying multiple coats, you actually want to go back in your caving, so this allows you to do that. whereas the fixed kV guns, like you said, they're just sitting at fifteen or twenty-five thousand volts, that's it, you don't have that option, so what you do when you want to do modal coats is you end up on top, you know, get away from the part you're trying to overcome, we're here, you don't have to, you can just turn it down as you go, so for a professional unit like this, this is what you get when you buy it.
Are there any other additional accessories? If so, how would they help you? We try to include everything. We give you the hopper. We give you the gun. We will give you the nebulizer nozzle. So really all you need to do is put like. I said you have a 50 psi air supply and then 120 volts and then obviously you know any rack or booth oven that type of thing, but aside from what you get with the kit, we have additional two pound hoppers and what We found a lot of customers and the guys who were testing this gun liked it is that they were stocking it, so guys who use a lot of blacks or clears can keep them separate.
The hoppers are very economical. We also have the powder supply hose we sell. in 12 foot lengths you can cut it to whatever you want if you are using the gun just in a booth doing small things and a lot with a shorter hose, easier to clean you can buy them so now you can have a hose just for your metallic varnishes or primers this is really good because it's a true fluidization hopper so at the bottom there's a plate and now we're putting air under that plate it's a membrane and the air goes up through it and what does that do.
You need the powder here, maybe two or three pounds, and it will actually fluidize your eyes or turn it into boiled tomato soup. What that does is the powder will tend to clump together like flour, sort of, eliminates that. it lifts it up, suspends it with a little bit of air and then we have here, instead of a traditional powder pump, we developed this one which is a venturi pump, so the air comes in here and the powder goes up through a tube in that fluid i go right in with the gun what does that do that minimizes a lot of spatter common with other units before we go do you have any advice on powder coating yes if you want to get started with it pick up our unit from dual voltage.
You can start with an old stove sized oven, you can make valve covers, you can have a lot of fun doing these things and then as you get more familiar with it you can move up to a larger unit like this. Have it if you want to learn more about our Elite Hot Coat Pcs
