Hazards
This is a high voltage device that
can produce electrical arcs capable
of igniting coating materials.
Parts being sprayed must be supported on conveyors
or hangers and be grounded. The resistance between
the part and ground must not exceed 1 megohm.
(Reference NFPA-33.)
A safe distance must be maintained between the parts
being coated and the atomizer bell. A distance of at least
1 inch for each 10 kV of power supply output voltage is
required at all times.
Parts must be supported so that they will not swing and
reduce the clearance specified above.
All electrically conductive objects in the spray area, with
the exception of those objects required by the process
to be at high voltage, must be grounded.
Unless specifically approved for use in hazardous loca-
tions, the power supply and other electrical equipment
must not be used in Class I, Division 1 or 2 locations.
The bell atomizer can rotate at
speeds up to 55,000 rpm. At these
speeds, the edge of the applicator
can easily cut into skin. Loose articles
of clothing can also be caught by the
rotating bell.
Personnel must stay clear of the bell whenever it is
rotating.
Before touching the bell, the turbine air must be shut
off.
If the bell has been rotating, allow at least two minutes
for it to come to a complete stop before touching it.
Toxic Substances Certain material may be harmful if
inhaled, or if there is contact with
the skin.
Follow the requirements of the Material Safety Data
Sheet supplied by coating material manufacturer.
Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the air free
of accumulations of toxic materials.
Use a mask or respirator whenever there is a chance of
inhaling sprayed materials. The mask must be compat-
ible with the material being sprayed and its concentra-
tion. Equipment must be as prescribed by an industrial
hygienist or safety expert, and be NIOSH approved.
