Aerbell 33 Rotary Atomizer - Introduction
Ransburg
6 LN-9521-00.4
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Aerobell 33 System
The Ransburg Aerobell 33 is a high speed rotary
atomizer system designed to meet agency safety
requirements for safer operation. This system is
incapable of releasing sufficient electrical or ther-
mal energy during normal operating conditions to
cause ignition of specific hazardous materials in
their most easily ignited concentrations in air (See
NFPA-33 Regulations). The Aerobell 33 provides
electrostatic application with excellent atomization
and transfer efficiency for a wide variety of coating
materials.
INTRODUCTION
FEATURES
Features which make the Aerobell 33 TM Rotary
Atomizer advantageous for use in electrostatic
applications include:
• Factory Mutual listed. Limited energy is avail-
able to prevent ignition of flammable air/solvent
mixtures.
• Assembly components and bell made of durable
plastic material for optimum mechanical strength
and solvent resistance.
• Proven long life turbine motor capable of speeds
up to 55k rpm at minimal air consumption. (See
"Specifications" in the "Introduction" section of
this manual for bell cup speed ratings.)
• 57mm and 30mm diameter bell assemblies
available for application flexibility.
• Fast color changes are achieved using center
feed fluid delivery, integral brake air, high flow
regulator and the fluid valves which provide
for simultaneous paint push out while solvent
washes the feed tube and bell cup.
• Bell wash is quick and efficient. Solvent usage
is controlled at the feed tube with an internally
mounted solvent valve.
• Less waste to the spray booth, with the dump
valve located internally next to the feed tube.
• More precise fluid regulation, with an (optional)
internal regulator.
• Easy to install and maintain. Hosing and con-
nections are easily accessible at either the rear
of the assembly or by sliding back the protective
rear cover.
• Quick removal of the turbine assembly for off-line
repair.
• Annular shaping air passage design providing
excellent pattern control at minimal air consump-
tion.
• Aerodynamic design for ease of cleaning ex-
ternal surfaces.
• Assembly can be swiveled to provide oblique
spray angles for better paint coverage in difficult
areas of the product.
• Turbine air exhausts behind bell, keeping paint
and solvent contamination out of atomizer inte-
rior and keeping back of bell clean.
• Speed readout (or control) uses reliable magnet-
ic pickup for fiber-optic transmission of rotational
speed data.
† The Aerobell 33 System is designed to
provide safer operation in accordance with
NFPA-33, when used and maintained in a
proper manner. Equipment cleanliness and
proper routine maintenance are required to
maintain safe operating conditions.
