Nordson Corporation300 Nordson Drive Amherst, OH 44001 USA CONTACT: Sue Safos 440-930-8842 ssafos@nordson.com Nordson Introduces the Encore® LT Manual Powder Gun; New Gun Combines Robust, Lightweight Design, Ease of Use and High Transfer Efficiency for Superior Results in Everyday Powder Coating Applications
AMHERST, OH, November 14, 2011 – The Encore® LT manual powder coating system from Nordson Corporation (NASDAQ-NDSN) incorporates a new gun and controller that are easy to use and provide consistent, repeatable coating performance. Using Nordson’s patented Select Charge® technology, the Encore LT system allows users to quickly select from a set of pre-programmed coating modes to assure maximum spray performance under a wide array of production conditions – including coating deep cavities, recoating and spraying metallic powders. Other innovative features include AFC (automatic feedback current) control, which automatically controls optimum electrostatic charging voltage based upon gun-to-part distance; and closed-loop air pressure control that ensures repeatable painting performance regardless of fluctuations in plant air pressure. Exceptionally lightweight, the Encore LT enables painters to perform with ease and consistency.
The Encore LT gun delivers 100,000 volts to provide maximum first pass transfer efficiency. Its compact, highly efficient pump uses less compressed air to deliver more powder to the part, resulting in a much softer spray pattern that consistently provides higher first-pass transfer efficiency. In addition, the Encore LT gun incorporates Nordson’s PowerPurge* feature and auxiliary trigger, which cleans the powder path from the base of the handle through the nozzle, preventing internal powder build-up to ensure optimum spraying performance with a wide variety of powder materials.
The new Encore LT all-digital gun control unit provides the user with their choice of electrostatic and pneumatic operating modes to meet specific application needs. The controller is designed for easy use, with a simple, touchpad layout, lighted icons and large, bright LED displays for simple adjustment and monitoring of all settings.
With fewer parts, the Encore LT gun is easy to service. Its quick-turn nozzle retainer speeds nozzle removal for changing nozzles sizes or types, routine cleaning and color change. The robust handle, trigger and cable design withstands the constant gun movement associated with manual painting, and assures easy serviceability when required. The handle design also eases access to the powder path, trigger switch and cable. “The Encore LT system is packed with features that provide excellent coating performance and unmatched application flexibility, yet it is a value-priced product. It is also backed by a 5-year warranty on non-wear parts and a 2-year warranty on the cable. That’s the best in the industry,” explains Bob Allsop, marketing manager, Nordson powder coating systems.
The Encore LT powder spray system is available in configurations that provide ease of mobility around the plant. Designed with versatility in mind, the Encore LT is available in vibratory box feeder or fluidized hopper mobile systems. Manufacturers can choose between two vibratory box feeders – either 110- or 220-volt versions – or a stainless-steel fluidized hopper with 23 kg (50-lb.) capacity to best suit specific powder coating needs. Other system options include various nozzles, a parts tray, 300 mm and 600 mm (6" and 12") lance extensions and the Encore cup gun kit for testing, lab use or smaller runs.
