Tech Tip for Aqueous Coating: Particles Adhering To The Spray Guns















Particles adhering to the area of the gun near the solution port or the areas of compress air egress can seriously alter
spray patterns and ruin a pan of tablets in less than 5 minutes. It is important for the operator to constantly monitor the
guns using a flash light to see in and around the guns. Any material adhering to these parts of the gun should be
cleaned immediately.

That’s right. It is best to clean the gun using this procedure: stop spraying, keep the atomizing air on, take out the gun
boom (or reach into the pan for the affected gun(s), clean off the guns using either a short plastic or brass bristled
brush. After thoroughly cleaning the gun surface, return the gun to its position and then turn the gun back on. Never
turn off the atomizing or pattern while cleaning the gun.
