avoid variances and have better control over system
performance, different levels of password protection
can be established so that only supervisors can be
authorized to change certain system parameters.
• Digital control systems can also incorporate a closed-
loop control of the airflow to the powder pumps.
Powder output of a conventional powder feed system
is prone to variations resulting from upstream
pressure changes in the compressed air system and
other variables. A digital system with closed-loop
airflow control continuously monitors itself and
provides 100 percent repeatable airflow output to the
pump. The high degree of repeatability of the system
outputs can significantly reduce the variations in
applied coating cost.
Many of these adjustments can be made by capable and well-
trained operators, but we all appreciate the difference between
reliance on a manual operator and an automated system.
In addition to the benefits of digital controls, some excel-
lent gains in performance can be gained from newer pumps,
more precise flow controls, more advanced electrostatic
controls (especially current controls) and other features that
will justify the cost.
If you are getting the most out of your existing system,
great! However, what if your system capabilities were to
expand? Would you be doing even better? Examine your
system, talk to your equipment vendor, and see if some of
the digital system capabilities mentioned above can produce
tangible savings in your operation. Try some testing if you can
and see what newer equipment has to offer.
