No decanting, and no hopper that has to be cleaned after every colour. Free delivery within 7 to 10 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen the Electron E-COAT+3 Multicolour version pays off\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe multicolour configuration comes into its own when you run many colours in small to medium quantities: contract coating with changing customer requirements, special colours, sample parts, short runs. The more often you switch, the wider the gap to the hopper solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse is equally true. If you process the same colour in large volumes for days on end, the version with the 50-litre stainless steel hopper is the calmer choice. You will find both versions and the base set without a powder source in our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/electron-powder-coating-equipment\"\u003eElectron powder coating equipment\u003c\/a\u003e category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow feeding from the container works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA suction tube reaches down into the opened box or pail and carries the powder through the injector to the gun. Two components work together so that the material keeps flowing and does not bridge over the pick-up point:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe vibration motor\u003c\/strong\u003e (220\/110 V) sets the container into gentle motion and keeps the powder moving. It starts in parallel with the fluidisation as soon as you pull the trigger.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe fluidisation air\u003c\/strong\u003e loosens the powder around the suction tube. You set the pressure on the control panel of the trolley, using the type M setting for units with a suction tube.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are enabled with button B1 on the front panel. If the vibration fails to start, that button is almost always the reason. It is the most common operating error on this version and is listed as such in the manufacturer's fault table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe control unit needs to be set to box operation once during setup. Parameter C-1 is switched to the manual multicolour mode. Parameter C-3 then defines how many seconds the vibration and fluidisation continue to run after you release the trigger. Two seconds are set at the factory, and a higher value can help with powders that flow less readily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat a colour change actually costs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe real time sink in a colour change is not the powder path but cleaning the powder source, and that is exactly what disappears here.

At five changes a week the saving adds up to roughly an hour, and to a good fifty working hours over a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a second effect that often gets overlooked. Residual powder from a hopper frequently ends up as waste after a change, because it has picked up fines and stray pigment. With box feeding the remainder stays in the original container, sealed and unmixed, ready to be used again on the next job in that colour. How much this matters depends on your batch sizes; on small orders it is the bigger item of the two, ahead of the time saved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere the hopper version stays ahead\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo that you can make a decision rather than read a sales brochure: a fluid bed inside a closed hopper keeps powder in suspension more evenly than vibration plus fluidisation air in an open container. In continuous operation with a single colour over several hours, the hopper version therefore delivers marginally more consistent output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou are also tied to the container format with box feeding. Standard boxes and pails work well, whereas heavily compacted or damp powder causes more trouble than it would in a fluidised hopper. If you need both, run the box feeder and add a hopper, because the control unit supports both operating modes and is simply switched over in the setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTriggering the colour change at the gun\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRapid purge mode can be started at the unit, but also directly on the E-GUN+3 C1: hold the \"P\" button on the back of the gun for three seconds and the injector, hose and gun path are blown clear with high-pressure air. In a workflow with several changes a day, that is the difference between one movement of the hand and a walk across the workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest of the control matches the wider Master series: up to 120 kV and 120 µA, 50 storable recipes, automatic fine-control mode below 10 µA and recipe switching by double trigger pull. In multicolour work it is particularly worth creating a dedicated recipe for every recurring colour, since metallic and effect powders need different parameters from standard shades.

The suction tube reaches in from above and the container sits on the base plate of the trolley. Very small containers below roughly five kilograms are impractical, because the level drops too quickly and the tube has to be repositioned repeatedly. For sample parts and very small quantities, the E-LAB+3 bench-top unit with cup feed is the better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow clean is a colour change in reality?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean enough for production work, provided you observe two points. First, the powder path has to be blown completely clear, right through to the nozzle. Second, the suction tube should be blown off after every change, because powder clings to it. When switching from black to a light yellow or white, we also recommend removing the nozzle and cleaning the electrode and nozzle separately. Experience shows that combination is the most critical one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the vibration motor run continuously?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, it is coupled to the trigger and starts together with the fluidisation. After you release the trigger it continues for the period stored in parameter C-3, two seconds as delivered. This protects both the motor and the container and prevents the powder from separating unnecessarily during breaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I switch the unit to a powder hopper later?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The control unit handles both operating modes and is switched over with parameter C-1. You will additionally need a hopper with an injector socket and suction tube, which we stock in 8, 50 and 100 litres. Many workshops end up running both: the box feeder for special colours and a hopper for their two or three standard shades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a booth and extraction?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, without exception. Powder and air mixtures are flammable, the control unit is approved for Zone 22 only, and the manufacturer states it may be switched on solely when the booth is working properly. With box feeding there is the added point that the container stands open, which makes care over extraction and cleanliness in the surrounding area more important rather than less. We have compiled the full requirements for earthing, compressed air and ventilation in our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/electron-powder-coating-equipment\"\u003ecategory overview\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMatching accessories and materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/pulverlack-kaufen\"\u003ePowder coating\u003c\/a\u003e in epoxy or polyester quality, over 200 colours from stock, ready to use in the original container\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/pulverofen-kaufen\"\u003eCuring ovens\u003c\/a\u003e for the final bake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/klebeband-hitzebestaendig\"\u003eHeat-resistant tape\u003c\/a\u003e for threads, fits and sealing faces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to understand the process from the ground up, our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/blogs\/magazin\/selber-pulverbeschichten-unsere-anleitung\"\u003eguide to powder coating yourself\u003c\/a\u003e covers every stage from pre-treatment to curing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMaster or Pro?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo Master functions matter particularly in multicolour work: the 50 recipe slots, which let you assign individual parameters to every colour, and the automatic air control. The E-COAT+3 Pro also handles multicolour mode, but works with three factory recipes, manual pressure regulators and a maximum of 100 kV. With frequent colour changes that means more manual work at the unit. We are adding the Pro series shortly, so get in touch if you would like to be notified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDelivery and service\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelivery within Germany takes 7 to 10 days and is free of shipping charges for you, Austria takes 7 to 14 days.

Alongside nozzles, deflectors and carbon rings, this includes the PTFE bushing and injector nozzle, which wear somewhat faster in multicolour operation because of the more frequent purge cycles. Electron states an economic service life of around ten years for the control unit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pulverkönig","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58332970942847,"sku":"ELC_+3_0003","price":5390.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/5502\/9631\/files\/e-coat3-master-multicolor-kartonentleererpng-24204.png?v=1788279325","url":"https:\/\/pulverlackfachhandel.de\/en\/products\/electron-e-coat-3-master-multicolour-box-feeder","provider":"Pulverkönig","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
