Function description
OptiFeed B Fresh powder system
Function
The powder box is placed on the vibrating table of the OptiFeed B Fresh
powder system. The coating powder is sucked in by the OptiFeed PP05
Powder pump through the fluidizing/suction unit. Then, the powder is
transported through the powder hose, which is fastened to the corre-
sponding powder pump connection.
Note:
For further information, see the OptiFeed PP05 Powder pump oper-
ating manual!
Fluidizing the coating powder
The fluidization of the coating powder with fluidizing air improves the
conveying characteristics of the powder. For this purpose, the fluidizing
air is fed into the external tube of the fluidizing/suction unit and exits
through three fluidizing pads at the lower end of the tube. Thereby, the
area around the suction tube is fluidized, the powder obtains fluid-like
characteristics and will be sucked into the tube.
The table vibration causes an even sinking of the powder level and pre-
vents a depositing of residual powder in the corners of the powder box.
That way, the powder can be used entirely (optimum powder utilization).
