Technical Questions

What is the proper way to maintain a spray gun?

You can find videos about the proper cleanings of spray guns in the "Technical knowledge" category. You can also find regular tips on our social media channels.

Can I immerse the entire spray gun in solvent to clean it?

If the spray gun is soaked in solvent, dirt particles and paint residue will dissolve, but they can also get into the air channels of the spray gun. Since the air channels are very fine boreholes, these particles will gradually clog the air channels over time. Since this is a slow process, the spray gun operator will usually not notice this clogging immediately: the painting result will gradually deteriorate until it suffers considerably (colour shifts, particle confinements, reduction of the spray jet). The causes of this error are often sought in the varnish itself, the pressure supply or something similar and only rarely in the faulty handling of the spray gun. We recommend that you clean the spray gun carefully and thoroughly, either manually or with an automatic washing machine (with a blowing device for the air channels) but never place it in a dilutant or paint stripper.

Can I apply water-based varnish with any SATA spray gun?

Yes, the SATA spray guns from the current production run are suitable for use with water-based varnish without restriction. Specially designed automatic and robot spray guns are available for continuous industrial use. We also carry nozzles that are specially designed for water-based varnishes. When using solvent-based and water-dilutable paints, we recommend that you use separate spray guns in order to avoid painting errors and expensive refinishing!

Is it true that SATA spray guns are subjected to a spray test before delivery?

Yes, in order to be able to offer the absolutely best spraying quality, SATA's experienced technical staff uses an extensive manual process to fine-tune all nozzle sets and spray guns without exception. For a vertical/standing spray pattern, the air nozzle is to be aligned in such a way that the laser marking is legible from the front. For a horizontally/reclining spray pattern, the individual test mark of the adjusting technician, which is attached to a flange side of the air nozzle, must be aligned so that it faces upwards.
