INDIANAPOLIS, July 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — ITW Gema, the global leader in
high-performance powder coating technology, announced the introduction of the
OptiFlex2, the industry’s most advanced manual powder spray system.

ITW Gema’s new OptiFlex2 stands apart from other manual powder coating systems.
Its ability to spray virtually any powder with outstanding effectiveness. Its
precision current and voltage controls ensure maximum transfer efficiency and
coating uniformity.

“Even inexperienced users can spray exotic powders with ease, coat complex
geometries with outstanding efficiency and uniformity and do it all in the most
challenging environments, temperatures and humidities,” Jeff Hale, director,
standard products sales & marketing for ITW Gema, said. “Put simply, the
OptiFlex2 manual powder coating system works with any powder, on any part, in
any place.”

Any Powder

OptiFlex2 manual powder coating system has a high-performance, integrated,
cascade power supply, with 100,000 volts of first-pass power, which efficiently
charges all types of powders. For challenging powders, users can call on the
OptiFlex2′s Precision Charge Control (PCC). The system’s new PowerClean feature
cleans the entire powder path from the pump to the gun tip using powerful blasts
of air.

Any Part

gun nozzle works in concert with the high-performance powder pump, delivering
powder with first-pass transfer efficiency.
