Eastwood Launches Dual-Voltage Powder Coating System

The Eastwood Company launched its revolutionary “Dual-Voltage” HotCoat Powder Coating Gun that delivers true dual-circuit power for greater powder-transfer efficiency, for less wasted powder, better coverage and smoother finishes at a fraction of the cost of industrial equipment.

The True Dual-Voltage capability of the new Eastwood unit allows the hobbyist to select a normal setting to deliver a High-Frequency 15,000 Volt charge at 15 micro amps to the powder for most powder coating jobs. For larger areas, the Ultra-High-Frequency 25,000 Volt charge at 18 micro amps to the powder produces show-quality, smooth finishes. The High Voltage also provides solid multiple coat coverage or allows the creation of custom effects, even with high metallic content powders.

Tight recessed corners and tube sections can now be quickly and efficiently coated using 15,000 volts while minimizing the Faraday cage effect, that is, the phenomenon by which charged particles are prevented from entering recessed areas due to the curvature of electric force lines to the nearest grounded surface.
