FEATURES
Features which make the Turbodisk TM Applicator
advantageous for use in electrostatic applications
include:
• Proven turbine motor reliability.
• Aerodynamic fairing design for ease of cleaning
of external surfaces.
• Speed readout (or control) uses reliable
magnetic pickup for fiber optic transmission of
rotational speed data (optional).
• A majority of all assembly components which
come in contact with the fluid material are made
of stainless steel, which is impervious to most
fluids.
• Negligible maintenance down time.
• The easily removable lower fairing, turbine air
motor assembly, and the externally mounted
regulators and fluid valves, make off line
maintenance more efficient and economical.
• Higher fluid delivery rates can be achieved
using a dual feed fluid system.
• High flow regulators and fluid valves provide for
simultaneous paint push out while solvent
washes the feed tube and disk.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Turbodisk Applicator, because of it's high rota-
tional speed, produces finer atomization, improved
quality, and higher transfer efficiency with any of the
wide variety of coating materials (such as waterborne
and high solids) used in production finishing opera-
tions. Its speed is controlled by varying the drive
air. The applicator assembly is designed for use on
vertical overhead mounted reciprocators.
Conical Disk Assembly
The Turbodisk Applicator uses conical disk assemblies
that are made from high grade aluminum construc-
tion and are force balanced to .10 grams•in or better.
With the serrated edge, these disks come in sizes of
6, 9, and 12 inch diameters.
Turbodisk Fairing
(Refer to Figure 17)
The Turbodisk Applicator fairing is required for safe
operation. The two piece fairing provides high volt-
age isolation from the metal rotator assembly and
valve components, as well as ease of cleaning and
maintenance.
> Both sections of the fairing to be in place
when the Turbodisk is in operation or when high
voltage is supplied to the applicator.
