Spray Area/High
Voltage Equipment
This is a high voltage ungrounded
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 Bulletin No. 33, 1995 Edition.)
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
locations, the power supply and other electrical
equipment must not be used in Class I, Division 1 or
2 locations.
Personnel Safety/
Mechanical Hazards
The atomizer can rotate at speeds
up to 30,000 (disk) and 55,000 RPM
(bells). At these speeds, the edge
of the applicator can easily cut into
skin. Loose articles 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.
Personnel Safety Skin puncturing by sharp eletrode. Take precautions to see that flesh is not punctured by
sharp electrode.
Intended Use Using coating materials and/or
cleaning and flushing solvents
which have flash points below
100 ° F (37.8 ° C) may cause a fire
hazard.
This system is intended for use with waterborne
coating formulations only.
