FEATURES
Features which make the Turbodisk TM 2 Applicator
advantageous for use in electrostatic applications
include:
• Proven turbine motor reliability.
• Patented serrated edge conical disk provides
excellent atomization quality at minimal rotational
speeds.
• 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 either stainless steel or, which is impervious to
most fluids.
• Negligible maintenance down time. With the quick
disconnect feature, the lower Turbodisk 2 fluid
section can be exchanged in minimal time for off
line maintenance.
• Quick disconnect feature allows for other fluid
control assemblies to be incorporated when
desired.
• 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.
• Control air lines are color coded for ease of
identification.
• 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 2 Applicator, because of it's high
rotational 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 operations. It's speed is controlled by varying
the drive air. The applicator assembly is designed for
use on vertical overhead mounted reciprocators.
Quick Disconnect
-REFER TO FIGURES 16, 17, & 26
The Turbodisk 2 Applicator is a quick disconnect
design that allows the lower fluid section that carries
all the fluid/ air controls to be separated from the
upper section carrying the tubing supply lines. The
incoming air lines, fluid lines, high voltage cable,
and fiber optic cable are connected to the fittings
provided on the upper fixed bulkhead plate. Each
bulkhead plate (upper and lower) utilizes special
male and female fittings with o-rings that seal the
fluid and air line passages when both sections are
assembled together. Two latching mechanisms have
been incorporated into the design allowing the lower
section to be supported while the operator tightens or
loosens the retaining screws that hold the upper and
lower sections together. Alignment arrows engraved
into the side of the bulkhead plates provide for quick
visual assembly orientation.
Conical Disk Assembly
The Turbodisk 2 Applicator uses conical disk
assemblies that are made from high grade aluminum
construction and are force balanced to .10 grams • in or
better. With the patented serrated edge, these disks
come in sizes of 6, 9, and 12 inch diameters.
