Electrostatics Redefined - a New Atomizer Generation for More Performance with Less Complexity

Higher performance, uptime, flexibility at reduced costs - these are topics that are affecting us today more than ever. Also in the painting and especially in the electrostatic waterborne paint application. Here, a wide variety of solutions are on the market that are, however, either too extensive and thus too expensive, or do not offer the necessary flexibility. A new atomizer generation by Dürr meets all these requirements ideally and will supply new impulses for the painting of tomorrow.
