Frequently Asked Questions - Corona WAGNER

What is the operating principle of the Wagner Corona paint gun?

The Corona process uses a high-voltage cascade integrated in the gun body to generate a high voltage (up to 100 kV). The charged powder particles move along field lines to the grounded workpiece, creating an even coating.

What is the difference between Corona and Tribo powder coating?

Corona uses high-voltage electrostatic charging, suitable for a wide range of powders including metallics (UDS). Tribo uses frictional charging, offering better penetration into recesses and smoother finish, but is not suitable for all powder types.

What are the main advantages of the HiCoat technology?

HiCoat technology delivers a homogeneous powder cloud, optimized electrostatic charging for increased transfer efficiency, reduced wear, and uniform film thickness distribution.

How do I clean the powder duct in the gun?

The Powerlock system allows fast and effective cleaning. It provides safe automatic cleaning of the powder duct, stable positioning of nozzle components, and easy accessibility to wear parts.

What safety certifications does the Corona gun have?

The gun holds CE, FM, and PTB certificates. It is certified for Zone 21 internal coating and features increased electrical safety to prevent high-voltage breakthroughs or blowbacks.

What is the maximum powder output of the manual Corona gun?

The PEM-C4 Ergo model can output up to 450 g/min (0.99 lb/min), while the PEM-CG4 cup gun outputs up to 200 g/min (0.44 lb/min).

Can I use metallic and special effect powders with the Corona gun?

Yes, the Corona process is ideal for metallic and UDS powder paints. The HiCoat technology ensures high-quality application with these materials.

How do I change nozzles on the automatic gun?

The WAGNER quick lock system provides a secure hold and enables fast nozzle changes. A large range of nozzles is available for different applications.

What is the weight of the manual Corona gun?

The PEM-C4 Ergo weighs 504 g, making it light and easy to handle. The PEM-CG4 with integrated powder cup weighs 890 g.

Are spare parts and accessories available for the Corona gun?

Yes, WAGNER offers a comprehensive range of spare parts and accessories including nozzles, electrode holders, powder hoses, extensions, retrofit sets, and service tools.

WAGNER HiCoat gun technology

The HiCoat gun technology is the first step in reducing variations in coating thickness. This technology achieves a significantly more homogeneous powder distribution and an increased transfer efficiency.

SPECIAL ADVANTAGES:

■Homogeneous powder cloud
■Optimized e-static for efficient powder charging
■ Significant increase in the transfer rate
■Reduced wear
■Soft powder cloud
■Atomization selected to suit the workpiece
■Uniform film thickness distribution

Reliable application of metallic and UDS powder paints

The new generation of guns from WAGNER represent efficiency and perfection. The integral high voltage cascade with a power rating of up to 100 kV works perfectly and safely. All electronic components are integrated in the robust plastic body of the gun. This means low service costs and a much longer service life.

Safety power & highest quality

The focus of all WAGNER developments is on safety and quality. WAGNER powder guns provide all the important certificates and are subject to permanent controls to avoid high voltage breakthroughs or blow backs into the powder duct.

Powder coating technology

Corona powder coating

The producing of high voltage in the corona process is done with the aid of a high voltage cascade, which is integrated in the gun body. The high voltage is generated by means of a high voltage cascade that is installed in the gun body. The voltage level is regulated in the control module and is matched to the geometry of the work piece, or to the powder coating system in use. The charged particles „move“ along the field lines to the grounded work piece.

The advantages of the corona process are the low wear of the gun, the low air consumption as well as the universal application as many powder coatings (e.g. effect powder coatings) are not suitable for the tribo process.

Tribo powder coating

The Tribo process is based on frictional charging. In this case, the fluidized powder/air mixture in a PTFE powder tube is charged by means of friction against the inside tube wall. Due to its excellent electrical insulation properties (negative), PTFE is well-suited to charging the particles and its good anti-frictional properties prevent build-up on the walls.

The advantages of the tribo process are the good penetration depth and the better film thickness distribution. In comparison to the corona process, the powder can easily penetrate into depressions (e.g. mailboxes and rims). The coated surface is smoother with no "orange peel" effect.
