State of Art Powder Applicator



ITW Gema's RPA-1 Robot Powder Applicator is the newest, most technically advanced powder applicator specifically designed for automotive exterior and interior cut-in applications. The RPA-1 provides bell-like performance features including uniform film build and high transfer efficiency, but it's a powder gun with added system flexibility and other benefits.

The RPA-1 produces a bigger spray pattern than any other powder gun, plus it delivers twice the coating capacity-coating more square feet per minute-than any other bell or gun. The RPA-1 simplifies automation controls and reduces overall system costs due to high powder flow capacity. The RPA-1 also allows for a reduction in the number of robots and atomizers.

The RPA-1 also improves productivity due to a simplified design that eliminates rotating parts. The RPA-l atomizes with no moving parts. Also, defect caused from impact fusion is eliminated. The RPA-1 enhances the bottom line by increasing powder line capacity and reducing maintenance costs.
