(Dürr: Southfield, MI) -- Dürr is adding an electrostatic air spray gun (ESTA gun) to its range of manual spray guns. The new EcoGun AS MAN DC/EC is a more sustainable way of painting, reducing overspray by about 40%. It comes in two versions with direct or external charging and is equally suitable for applying solvent and water-based paints. Its ergonomic handle and light weight make for comfortable work during extended periods.

The new spray gun is ideal for applications where workpieces, such as tubes, rims, two-wheelers, or train parts are painted manually. The advantage here is the electrostatic charging of the paint and components.

The EcoGun AS MAN DC (direct charging) has an electrode on the spray-gun needle that charges the paint and then applies it to a grounded component. The EcoGun AS MAN EC (external charging) positively charges the paint particles by passing them through an electrostatic field. A negatively charged workpiece then attracts these paint particles.
