Sulzer Metco, Switzerland, has released a new plasma spray gun, the SinplexPro, with cascading arc technology. It typically boosts process efficiency by 60% to 170% over conventional spray guns, based on testing to date. It eliminates the interdependence of the plasma arc with processing gases and flows, which results in a more idealized state of the plasma jet that provides more uniform heating of feedstock particles.
Building on the success of the TriplexPro spray guns, Sulzer Metco is responding to the strong request from the market to improve efficiency on existing spray systems. SinplexPro is a single-cathode spray gun with cascading arc technology that eliminates the interdependence of the plasma arc with processing gases and flows. This results in a more idealized state of the plasma jet that provides more uniform heating of feedstock particles.
SinplexPro is offered in two spray angles 90° and 180°. An included CPI-500 unit ensures proper ignition of the SinplexPro irrespective of the power supply or system controller used. Customers can easily switch between the SinplexPro and their conventional spray guns without reconfiguration.
