AirCoat is the combination of airless technology with the support of air. In the AirCoat or AirMix process, an air jacket surrounds the material and makes the application particularly effective. The low air consumption and soft spray jet guarantee perfect painting results. That is why AirCoat is used in many professional areas such as wood or metal processing.
AirCoat is an air assisted process for applying paints and varnishes with a paint sprayer. The material is atomised at the nozzle of the unit using the airless method. In addition, it is encased in a separate aircoat. A compressor provides the air, which is fed to the spray gun via an air hose. The air cap regulates the air supply to the spray gun. The paint hose transports the paint into the gun. With the AirCoat process, a fine and targeted atomisation of paints and varnish is possible with less pressure due to the air envelope. This allows large surfaces and many workpieces to be processed.
In the airless process, the paint is atomised by material pressure alone and without air. The airless process is used in diaphragm, piston or screw pumps. The pump builds up pressure in the material, which is forced through the nozzle at up to 250 bar. There it is dispersed into a spray jet depending on the nozzle used.

The XVLP spraying process is based on HVLP technology (High Volume Low Pressure, also called low-pressure spraying). This spraying technique is more suitable for a smaller applications. A turbine blows a lot of air at a low pressure through a hose. The air displaces the material and pushes it through the nozzle. The advantage of HVLP systems are short paint paths and easy cleaning of the spraying equipment.

The AirCoat process is an extension of the airless technology. The air envelope around the sprayed material enables an optimal spray pattern and precise paint application with a softer spray jet and reduced paint mist. The effect is enhanced by the restricted mixture of compressed air and special AirCoat nozzles. Such a hard metal nozzle sprays with a particularly fine atomisation.

The WAGNER AirCoat technique is suitable for low-viscosity materials such as paint and varnish. Special air caps are available for optimal adaptation to different materials: For example there are three air caps for the AC 4600 P gun:
Devices based on AirMix technology are used in metal and wood processing as well as for professional wood coating. The aim here is to apply a lot of material to many surfaces in a short time. With the AirCoat process, a high surface quality can be achieved on large workpieces.
For professional applications on construction sites, a diaphragm pump such as the Superfinish 23 Plus AirCoat is suitable. It can be used in mobile applications and, thanks to its hopper, can also process small quantities of material. Pneumatic piston or double diaphragm pumps such as the Cobra 40-10 (AC) also work with the AirCoat method. These pumps are used in paint booths in the workshop and offer special explosion protection.
