Fourth-Generation HDLV Technology

The company’s Encore® HD Powder Spray System is a fourth generation high-density, low-velocity (HDLV) spray technology. Designed for superior process control, users can achieve a highly dense phase spray, a more diluted mixture…or anything in between. The result is greater transfer efficiency, less overspray and better cured finish quality for every conceivable part type. Other benefits include:

  • A more lightweight, better-balanced gun,
  • Powder deposition at speeds nearly double venturi systems,
  • Superior edge and corner coverage,
  • On-gun controls for fast, easy adjustments, and
  • The ability to spray all powder materials, even those that are most challenging.

Power in the Pulse

The company’s GX8500 manual powder coating guns feature second generation Pulse Power™ technology. This enables coaters to more readily apply powder in difficult Faraday Cage areas across a variety of applications. Developed on the successful first generation Pulse Power, Pulse Power II provides constant gun current even if the distance between the gun and part varies. The result is improved corner penetration, ease in recoating or base—top coat combinations, smoother coating films and uniform film thickness. Parker Ionics’ “Everyday Pricing” systems start at $3,395.00 for the GX8500CS.
