Fire Hazard
Improper or inadequate operation
and maintenance procedures will
cause a fire hazard.
Protection against inadvertent
arcing that is capable of causing
fire or explosion is lost if any
safety interlocks are disabled
during operation. Frequent power
supply shutdown indicates a
problem in the system requiring
correction.
Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in the
spray area and tested periodically.
Spray areas must be kept clean to prevent the
accumulation of combustible residues.
Smoking must never be allowed in the spray area.
The high voltage supplied to the atomizer must be
turned off prior to cleaning, flushing or maintenance.
When using solvents for cleaning:
Those used for equipment flushing should have flash
points equal to or higher than those of the coating
material.
Those used for general cleaning must have flash
points above 100oF (37.8oC).
Spray booth ventilation must be kept at the rates
required by NFPA-33, OSHA, and local codes. In
addition, ventilation must be maintained during
cleaning operations using flammable or combustible
solvents.
Electrostatic arcing must be prevented.
Test only in areas free of combustible material.
Testing may require high voltage to be on, but only
as instructed.
Non-factory replacement parts or unauthorized
equipment modifications may cause fire or injury.
If used, the key switch bypass is intended for use
only during set-up operations. Production should
never be done with safety interlocks disabled.
Never use equipment intended for use in waterborne
installations to spray solvent based materials.
The paint process and equipment should be set up
and operated in accordance with NFPA-33, NEC, and
OSHA requirements.

85 kV DC charge to the coating materials at the
point of atomization. This electrostatic charge
allows a more efficient, uniform application of
coating material to the front, edges, sides, and
back of products, making it highly suitable for
applying coatings to a variety of surface configurations, large targets, small parts, tubular wares,
concave and recessed parts, etc. Because it is a
grounded fluid system, it is highly suitable for
applying a wide range of solvent reduced coatings
such as enamels, lacquers, epoxies, etc.

(See “Nozzle Selection
Guide” in the “Operation”
section.)
One of the many features of the REM System is
that the electrical discharge which is available
from the resistive charging electrode is limited to
the optimum level of safety and efficiency.
Paint consumption savings of 25% to 50% over
conventional air spray are possible with the ITW
Ransburg REM Applicator. Curved and recessed
surfaces may be uniformly finished in fewer passes
because combined air and electrostatic forces
literally follow the shape of the work surface.
Bounce losses from work are reduced by the
proper use of electrostatic attraction.
The REM Automatic Applicator System includes
the automatic applicator (with various nozzle selections), low voltage cable, air and fluid hoses
and a control unit with an air and coating material
filter assemblies.

REM PROCESS
REM PROCESSREM PROCESS
This is an air assisted method for electrostatically
applying coatings to objects. The REM system
applies a high voltage DC charge to the applicator
nozzle electrode, creating an electrostatic field
between the atomizer and the target object. The
target is electrically grounded through its support
which may be either stationary or moving.
A regulated pressure fluid system delivers coating
material to the atomizer. There the coating material
is atomized by passing through an orifice under
pressure, the resulting spray mist under the
influence of the electrostatic field, becomes
electrically charged. The air supply to the
applicator is adjustable at the rear of the applicator
and aids in shaping the coating material into a
desired pattern. The charged particles are
attracted to and deposited on the target object.
The forces between the charged particles and the
grounded target are sufficient to turn most normal
overspay around and deposit it on the back
surface of the target. Therefore, most of the spray
is deposited.
