Model A20A
nnnnAutomatic Electric Spray Gun
nnnnAutomatic, high-cycle electric spray gun for high-speed container
nnnncoating applications.
nnnnThe patented Nordson® Model A20A automatic electric spray
nnnngun is a fast-cycle, airless gun designed for use in high-speed
nnnncontainer coating applications. An advanced design of the
nnnnindustry-standard and production-proven Nordson Model A10A
nnnnand A14A guns, the A20A gun features an integral solenoid
nnnnthat eliminates the need for air lines and provides fast, positive
nnnnresponse and excellent repeatability. The removable-valve/seat
nnnnmodule design facilitates easy replacement of the valve and seat
nnnnassembly in minutes for minimal downtime without removing
nnnnthe gun from the spray machine or disconnecting hydraulic lines.
nnnnAll wetted components of the Model A20A gun are of stainless
nnnnsteel construction for improved durability and compatibility
nnnnwith a wide range of water-based and solvent-based lacquers.
nnnnThe A20A gun is triggered by electronic controls, such as a
nnnnNordson FET timer, for more precise film deposition, accurate
nnnnweight control and greater material savings.
nnnnProprietary Nordson Nozzles
nnnnThe Model A20A gun uses Nordson Controlled-Pattern or
nnnnCross-Cut nozzles for precise coating deposition, uniform
nnnndistribution of coating and consistent coating weights.
nnnnProprietary Cross-Cut nozzles improve atomization at lower
nnnnoperation pressure to minimize overspray and bounce back
nnnnfor optimum material utilization. Controlled-Pattern nozzles
nnnnprovide uniform coating distribution, resulting in lower coating
nnnnweights and reduced costs. The A20A gun utilizes nozzles
nnnnmounted directly on the short gun or extended version.
nnnnFlow Sentry Option
nnnnThe Model A20A gun is compatible with the patented Nordson
nnnnFlow Sentry® monitor. Installed with the gun or added later, this
nnnnelectronic system monitors the flow of coating material through
nnnnthe nozzle and automatically alerts the user to changes in flow
nnnncaused by nozzle blockage, leakage or pump malfunctions. Use
nnnnof the Flow Sentry option with the Model A20A gun further
nnnnenhances the performance and quality of the can-coating
nnnnoperation, minimizing product rejects and providing optimum
nnnnproduction quality.
