REA III 100kV Automatic Applicator - Introduction

INTRODUCTION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The

REA III 100kV Automatic Applicator

applies a high voltage charge to the coating mate-
rials at the point of atomization using a 100kV
power supply. This electrostatic charge allows a
more efficient, uniform application of coating mate-
rial to the front, edges, sides, and back of prod-
ucts, making it highly suitable for applying a wide
range of coatings to a variety of surface configu-
rations: large targets, small parts, tubular wares,
concave and recessed parts, etc. It is available as
a grounded fluid system for solvent reduced coat-
ings such as enamels, lacquers, epoxys, etc.

One of the many safety features of the REA III 100
kV Automatic Applicator is the capability of limit-
ing, to a desirable level, the electrical discharge
which is available from the charging electrode.
When organic solvent base paints are being
sprayed, this level must not exceed 0.25 mJ of
energy. In order to achieve this limitation, it is
necessary to prevent any flow of energy from the
paint supply through the paint line to the applicator
electrode. This is accomplished by grounding the
paint line at the applicator.
