Tumble Spray Coating Systems

The Arnold Machine Tumble Spray Coating System delivers complete, consistent coverage for parts of varying sizes and shapes. 

Built with a Class 1, Division 1 explosion-proof spray booth, it applies paint, adhesives, lubricants, rust preventives, and other solvent or water-based materials with maximum transfer efficiency. 

Parts are tumbled on a removable mesh belt for uniform coating and easy cleaning, while the reciprocating spray gun shuttle allows for single- or dual-material application. 

Customizable touchscreen recipes ensure reliable results tailored to each part configuration.

Complete, Consistent Coverage

The tumble and spray application ensures every part is fully coated, making it ideal for parts requiring 100% surface coverage.

High Transfer Efficiency

With precision air and fluid control, the system maximizes coating transfer efficiency, reducing material waste and lowering overall operating costs.

Flexible & Easy to Maintain

The removable tumble belt and customizable recipes on the touchscreen allow quick changeovers, simplified cleaning, and efficient production for a wide range of part sizes and materials.
