Tumble Spray Coating Systems
The Arnold Machine Tumble Spray Coating System is commonly used for parts that require 100% coverage. The machine can apply paint, adhesive, rust preventive, lubricant, or virtually any other solvent or water-based material needing to be sprayed. The system utilizes a tumble and spray coating application in a Class 1, Division 1 explosion-proof, fully enclosed spray booth and is designed for maximum transfer efficiency of coating materials through its air control design and fluid process control. The system can apply two different materials utilizing a reciprocating spray gun shuttle. The parts are tumbled on a mesh belt while being sprayed. The belt is easily removable from the system for cleaning.
The spray chamber is 16” deep by 40” wide. Part size and batch capacities will vary based on geometry and tumble performance. Each different part configuration will require a recipe to be developed in the machine’s touchscreen.
Benefits of Tumble Spray Coating Systems
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.
