Prodigy® HDLV® Process Control For Powder Coating

Process Control At the heart of Prodigy technology is the unique dense phase gun pump. Pneumatically operated, it dispenses powder to the gun at a constant rate over time as it doesn’t use any wearing venturis. Designed to self purge and colour change in only 20 seconds without disassembly, the pump ensures process control, at the lowest operating cost. The Prodigy HDLV gun range consists of a high efficiency dense phase manual gun, a straight-through powder path short version for robot applications and also a longer automatic gun for extended reach inside the booth. Prodigys’ advanced nozzle...

Using a smaller volume of air has a number of benefits for powder coaters; Lower velocity powder means significantly reduced wear on powder contact surfaces and no impact fusion, which promotes reliable colour changes. Small diameter powder delivery tubing is effectively cleaned with lower air volumes. The smaller cross sectional area makes for faster colour changes with the highest quality. Powder hose sizes can be reduced, Prodigy hoses are typically 6mm ID compared to 12mm ID on traditional systems. In a traditional venturi powder pump both the atomising and the flow rate air interact with...

By using Prodigy HDLV coating technology powder coaters enjoy numerous benefits; Increased transfer efficiency and coating penetration due to softer spray, and optimised electrostatic powder cloud. Process control; as Prodigy doesn’t use wearing venturis within the pump, consistent, reliable and linear powder output over time is ensured. With this reliable output, high quality coating results are predictable. Furthermore, process improvement can be achieved by utilising the linear nature of Prodigy powder output, digitally adjusting the film thickness. Minimal wear items; The unique design of...
