Operational Description

This AGN-502 Is a lightweight diaphragm operated automatic spray gun for use with ceramic glaze,

vitreous enamels, liquid polishing compounds and similar materials. The standard gun fitted with a

rubber diaphragm is not suitable for use with solvent based coating materials; however it can be

converted for use with solvent based coating materials by fitting a PTFE protective diaphragm see

Accessories. Nozzles are available in high grade stainless steel and case hardened Nitralloy steel.

Remotely positioned valves (supplied by user) control the air supplies for atomisation and

diaphragm operation. Coating material supply is by a pressure feed system.

IMPORTANT: These guns are not designed for use with highly corrosive or highly abrasive coating

material and if used with such materials it must be expected that the need for thorough cleaning

and/or the necessity for replacement parts will be increased. If there is any doubt regarding the

suitability of a specific material, advise what material is to be used and/or submit a sample for test.

SAFETY WARNINGS

Fire and explosion

Solvents and coating materials can be highly flammable or combustible when sprayed.

ALWAYS refer to the coating material supplier’s instructions and COSHH sheets before

using this equipment.

Users must comply with all local and national codes of practice and insurance company

requirements governing ventilation, fire precautions, operation and house-keeping of

working areas.

This equipment, as supplied, is NOT suitable for use with Halogenated Hydrocarbons.

Static electricity can be generated by fluid and/or air passing through hoses, by the

spraying process and by cleaning non-conductive parts with cloths. To prevent ignition

sources from static discharges, earth continuity must be maintained to the spray gun

Installation

IMPORTANT: To ensure that this equipment reaches you in first class condition, protective coatings, rust inhibitors

etc., have been used. Flush all equipment through with a suitable solvent before use to remove these agents from

the material passages.

The AGN gun operation is different to models that have a needle valve to control the coating material flow. To shut

coating material flow off, air pressure must be maintained on the diaphragm (6) to seal against seat (5). The simplest

method of gun control is to use a normally open three way valve for the diaphragm air supply ‘A’ and a normally

closed three way valve for the atomising air supply ‘B’. These valves can be automatically or manually operated.

To prevent unatomised coating material spoiling the finish the sequence of control valve operation should be;

To Spray 1. Atomising air ‘B’ ON

2. Diaphragm air ‘A’ OFF

Stop spraying 3. Diaphragm air ‘A’ ON

4. Atomising air ‘B’ OFF

The timing of these valve operations will depend on the speed of gun operation required, for some applications the

atomising air supply could be continuously ON and the diaphragm air control valve operated when spray is required.

Caution: In case of an air supply failure it is recommended that a fail-safe valve is fitted to the coating material

supply to prevent accidental spillage.

Separate filtered regulated air supplies are required for atomising and diaphragm operation.

Mount the gun on a 12.5 mm (1¼2") diameter rod and secure with screw (7).

Hosing

1. Connect a 6 mm outside diameter nylon tube to the push-in connector ‘A’ via a three way normally open

valve.

2. Attach atomising air supply hose to connector ‘B’ via a three way normally closed valve.

3. Attach coating material hose to connector ‘C’ from a pressure feed source.

Recommended hose sizes, up to 10 metres long.

Atomising air supply 8mm (5/16") internal diameter.

Coating material supply 9.5mm (3/8") internal diameter.

Operation

The AGN gun operation is different to models that have a needle valve to control the coating material flow. To shut

coating material flow off, air pressure must be maintained on the diaphragm (6) to seal against seat (5). To prevent

coating material leaks from the nozzle the regulated diaphragm air supply pressure ‘A’ must be at least 0.5 bar (8

lbf/in2) higher than the coating material supply.

Caution: To prevent accidental discharge of coating material always turn off and release coating material pressure

when the gun is not in use.

1. Mix, prepare and filter the coating material to be sprayed to the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Adjust the spray gun control and regulate air and coating material pressures before turning on the air and

coating material supplies.

2.1. Fan pattern valve (13). Turn adjusting screw to fully open position, by turning counter- clockwise.

2.2. Regulate the atomising air supply ‘B’ pressure to 4 bar (60 lbf/in2).

2.3. Adjust diaphragm air supply pressure ‘A’ to 2 bar (30 lbf/in2).

2.4. Regulate coating material pressure to 1 bar (15 lbf/in2).

3. Turn on atomising and diaphragm air supply to the spray gun before turning on coating material supply.

Test spray by operating atomising and diaphragm air control valves,

Test Spray 1. Atomising air ‘B’ ON

2. Diaphragm air ‘A’ OFF

Stop spraying 3. Diaphragm air ‘A’ ON

4. Atomising air ‘B’ OFF

If the finish is too wet or dry adjust the coating material supply pressure until the desired pattern is achieved.

Caution: Remember to increase the diaphragm air pressure if the coating material pressure is increased.

If the atomisation is too coarse increase the air pressure, if too fine reduce the air pressure.

The recommended spray distance is 150-200 mm (6" –8"). The spray width can be reduced from fan to round by

turning valve (13) clockwise.

Preventative Maintenance

Flushing the system:

1. Turn off atomising air ‘B’ and coating material ‘C’ supplies and relieve pressures.

Caution: DO NOT turn off diaphragm air supply ‘A’.

2. Replace coating material with a suitable solvent, reduce pressure and turn on supply.

3. Remove air cap, operate the gun with diaphragm control valve, and do not turn on atomising air supply. Flush

system until clean.

Clean air cap by immersing in solvent, brush or wipe clean. If any holes in the air cap are blocked use a toothpick

or broom straw to remove the obstruction. Never use a steel wire or hard implement which will damage the air cap

and result in a distorted pattern

Replacement of parts

Note: Order numbers shown in parts list for figure 1 with suffix ‘-K5’ etc. at the end of the order No. indicates a kit of
