Binks Spray Tips July 2010
Surface Preparation - General • Anything you don’t want to see in the final finish must be removed from the surface • Surface must be clean • Lint Dirt Oil • Contaminant • Substrate determines pretreatment The greatest single cause of paint failure is poor surface preparation
Introduction - Why Spray? • Increase Quality • Increase Production • Reduce Costs - Paint and Labor • Government Regulations • Coatings Change • Maintenance Reduction
Viscosity - Characteristics • The Property Of Liquid Which Enables It To Resist Flow • Measured By The Time Required For A Given Volume Of Liquid To Flow Through A Small Hole In The Bottom Of A Metal Cup Under Controlled Conditions. • Standardized at 77o F
Viscosity - Cups • Accuracy Is Best In Middle Of Cups Range Types Of Cups • Ford • Fischer • Zahn • DIN • Others
Viscosity - Cups • Accuracy Is Best In Middle Of Cups Range Types Of Cups • Ford • Fischer • Zahn • DIN • Others
Viscosity - Cups Range Specifications Zahn 1 31- 60 Ford 2 37 - 110 Zahn 2 19- 60 Ford 3 23 - 110 Zahn 3 11 - 60 Ford 4 16 - 120 Zahn 4 10 - 60 Zahn 5 10 - 60 All times in seconds Gardner Company

Atomization - Air Cap Ratings • Type • Pressure • Suction • Finish Material • Type • Viscosity • Flow Rate • Operating Pressure Range • Air Volume (CFM) Required
Atomization - Internal vs External Mix Caps Internal External
Air Spray Guns - Three Ways To Feed • Suction Feed • Gravity Feed • Pressure Feed
Air Spray Guns – Fluid Feed Types Suction Gravity Pressure
Atomization - Suction vs Pressure Feed Cap Suction Pressure
Atomization - Air Cap Selection • Volume of air (CFM) available • Material feed system: suction or pressure • Type and volume of material to be sprayed • Size of fluid tip • Size and nature of object being sprayed • (Pattern size)
Troubleshooting - Spray Gun Fluid Leaking from Packing Nut Packing nut loose Packing worn or dry Air leaking from front of gun Sticking air valve stem Foreign matter on air valve or seat Worn or damaged air valve or seat Broken air valve spring Bent valve stem Air valve gasket damaged or missing
Troubleshooting - Spray Gun Fluid Leaking from Front of Gun Packing nut too tight. Fluid tip or needle worn or damaged Foreign matter in tip Fluid needle spring broken Wrong size needle or tip Dry packing
Troubleshooting - Spray Gun Fluttering Material Level Low Fluid Passage Obstruction Loose or damaged fluid tip/seat Dry or loose needle packing Material too heavy (suction) Air vent clogged (suction)
Troubleshooting - Patterns Right/Left - Top/Bottom Heavy Reverse the air cap 180o. If the problem reverses, the problem is with the air cap. If not, the problem is with the fluid tip/needle.
Troubleshooting - Patterns Center Heavy Spreader adjustment in too far Atomizing pressure too low Fluid pressure too high Fluid tip incorrect size for material and flow
Troubleshooting - Patterns Split Pattern Fluid needle adjustment in too far Atomization air too high Fluid pressure too low
Spray Gun Maintenance - Lubrication Use Spray Gun Lubricant
