OPERATING AND ASSEMBLY MANUAL
VERSION 08/2015 ORDER NUMBER DOC2350372
5.2 MODE OF OPERATION
The PXM powder center is a system from which uidized powder is conveyed simultaneously
from a powder tank (option) to several spray guns. Powder consumption is compensated
by the fresh powder feed device (option) in the powder center or by manually re lling.
The linear motion unit suction system is immersed directly into the powder tank.
A homogenous powder/air mixture is created through the uidization and vibration
(option) of the tank. The injectors convey the powdered paint to the guns in the coating
system. A lowered powder level in the tank is detected by the level sensor in conjunction
with sensors on the reciprocator. The level sensor also triggers the lowering of the suction
system and the fresh powder supply (option) when necessary. A warning is triggered
automatically in the event of a powder shortage and the warning lamp lights up yellow.
If the minimum level is not reached after a certain time, the alarm lights up red and the
system registers a malfunction. Powder level monitoring is active only in automatic mode.
