Nordson Vantage System, Vantage Unit, Nordson Powder Coating, Nordson Vantage

In the past we've talked about some of Nordson's more advanced powder coating equipment. Today we'll learn about a more economical, easy to use powder coating system.

This unit is called The Vantage Unit. This system uses some of Nordson tried and true technologies; such as Automatic Feedback Current, but doesn't offer a lot of the extra features that you find in the Prodigy and Encore powder coating systems.

Automatic Feedback Current or AFC allows users to set the gun current at a level that will provide optimal (not necessarily maximum) charge and field strength for each application. Control of the gun current ensures that the number of ions generated in the charge zone is sufficient to charge the coating effectively, but not high enough to create excessive free-ion current on the already-deposited coating layer.

This system is about as easy to use as you can get. I set up a Vantage last week with a customer in Lafayette, Indiana. It took about 10 minutes from the time I walked in door until to the time we started spraying.

The only variables the user has to control are:

Gun Atomizing Air
Powder Flow Air
KV or AFC Setting

You can't get much easier than that. The Vantage is available in the standard vibratory box feed or 50lb hopper unit, and can be purchased on our online sales site for a great price.
