ECO TIPS FOR FINISHERS
Lowering the inlet pressure to a conventional spray gun results in annual air cost savings of approximately £300 per gun.
Increasing your spray gun transfer efficiency by 20% (better technique, lowered air pressures, more efficient guns) can reduce your annual coatings costs by £12,000 (£10/litre @ 25 l/per day).
Replace an airless or air assisted fluid tip when the pattern shrinks by 10% and coating costs could be reduced by up to 30%.
Back flushing a low pressure spray system will save about £5 in coating costs each time (based on 25’ of 3/8” hose at £10/litre).
Ransburg Solo electrostatic guns save up to 30% on your coating costs – product investment pay back in just 3 months.
A spray gun operator can use the technique of triggering to potentially save £12,000 per gun annually (at £10/litre coating cost).
Be sure to inspect air hose regularly. A 1/4” air leak can cost £5,000 per year in energy costs.
Lower overspray equals lower spray booth operating and cleaning costs – could save £2,000 per annum.
