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.
