Race-inspired technology changes the finishing industry.THE DUX PRODUCT SUITE OFFERS FLEXIBILITY AND COST SAVINGS DUX products are built on advanced airflow technology, originally developed to optimize the performance of Formula Three racing engines. This has produced the first improvements to spray gun technology in decades. Features of the DUX product line include: * Dramatically improved transfer efficiency and reduced coatings usage, by an average of 15-40%. * Significantly reduced overspray Overspray refers to the application of any form of paint, varnish, stain or other non-water soluble airborne particulate material onto an unintended location. This concept is most commonly encountered in graffiti, auto detailing, and when commercial paint jobs drift onto unintended , creating a healthier work environment and faster clean up. * Reduced disposal costs of hazardous materials and other consumable A material that is used up and needs continuous replenishment, such as paper and toner. "The low-tech end of the high-tech field!" items. * Operator-friendly design: balanced, easy-to-use guns that are the lightest weight in their classes. * Flexibility: one gun can be used for multiple applications and with a wide range of coating viscosities and solids contents. PRESSURE FEED The pressure feed gun is typically used in industrial environments where large quantities of coatings are sprayed throughout the day. The DUX Pressure Feed spray guns are designed with shorter air passages, an upright handle, and fluid and air connections located at the base of the gun. This makes DUX spray guns lighter and easier to handle in tight spaces, while reducing operator fatigue. DUX AUTOMATIC Used with robotic applicators or reciprocators, this version of the DUX gun is mounted directly to automated au·to·mate v. au·to·mat·ed, au·to·mat·ing, au·to·mates v.tr. 1. To convert to automatic operation: automate a factory. 2. spray equipment. Its compact design results in a nearly 25% reduction in weight over other similar automatic guns, resulting in less wear and tear on robotics equipment Noun 1. robotics equipment - equipment used in robotics equipment - an instrumentality needed for an undertaking or to perform a service . GRAVITY FEED Used when smaller quantities of coating or more frequent material changes are required, this version of the DUX spray gun is designed with a center-mounted fluid cup and a shorter barrel than all competing guns. This also allows it to fit into tight spaces while maintaining a balanced and lightweight feel for the operator. Is the DUX Gun Really That Different? See for yourself. These are actual photos of spray gun bodies that have been cut in half. The orange line shows the path air takes through the gun. Conventional, air-assisted airless and HVLP HVLP High Volume Low Pressure HVLP Houston Volunteer Lawyer's Program HVLP High Velocity Lead Poisoning guns [including those "radical new designs" you've been hearing about) all use the same basic design, with twist and turns that lead to turbulence turbulence, state of violent or agitated behavior in a fluid. Turbulent behavior is characteristic of systems of large numbers of particles, and its unpredictability and randomness has long thwarted attempts to fully understand it, even with such powerful tools as and higher levels of overspray. The DUX gun is different. It uses a single straight passage with one sweeping curve--a unique and highly patented design that maintains organized airflow (also known as "laminar laminar /lam·i·nar/ (lam´i-nar) 1. pertaining to a lamina or laminae. 2. laminated. 3. of, pertaining to, or being a streamlined, smooth fluid flow. " flow) through the gun. DUX Area Inc. Phone: (888) 389-2732 www.duxarea.com AWFS AWFS Association of Woodworking & Furnishings Suppliers Vegas Booth #6423 [ILLUSTRATIONS OMITTED] |
