Binks AG362P – Precision in a Compact Automatic Spray Gun
The Binks AG362P is a low-pressure air atomising automatic spray gun engineered for consistent, high-quality coatings in automated production lines. Its modular design, quick-change manifold, and optional micrometer or ratchet needle stop provide full control with minimal maintenance—perfect for glass, cosmetic, and electronics finishing applications.
Product Overview
| Parameter | Value / Range |
|---|---|
| Max. Air Pressure (P1) | 7 bar / 102 psi |
| Max. Fluid Pressure (P2) | 7 bar / 102 psi |
| Cylinder Air (P3) | 4 – 7 bar |
| Spray Distance | 150 – 200 mm |
| Weight | 830 – 925 g (depending on manifold) |
| Material | Stainless Steel / QuickClean™ Aluminium |
Excellent uniformity via HVLP or Conventional cap options.
Tool-free swap using Lever Manifold.
Micrometer or ratchet needle for exact flow control.
Recommended Basic Settings (Guideline Values)
- Atomising Air: 3.8 – 4.8 bar (HVLP) or 2.0 – 3.0 bar (Conventional)
- Fluid Flow: 160 – 200 ml/min
- Spray Distance: 150 – 200 mm (depending on coating)
- Fan Control: fully open, then reduce slightly as needed
- Cylinder Air: 4 – 7 bar for stable needle operation
Professional Workflow (7 Steps)
- Open both FAN and ATOM valves completely.
- Adjust fluid pressure to achieve 160–200 ml/min flow rate.
- Set inlet air pressure according to HVLP or conventional mode.
- Test spray – if the finish is too dry, lower air pressure or increase fluid flow.
- If the finish is too wet, lower fluid pressure or slightly increase air pressure.
- Fine-tune spray fan width using the FAN valve.
- After use, shut off air and fluid, relieve pressure, and clean the gun.
Troubleshooting – Quick Reference
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No spray | No air supply / needle closed | Check air and open needle |
| Uneven pattern | Clogged nozzle or air cap | Clean or replace components |
| Spitting at start | Worn needle or tip | Replace with new parts |
| Irregular spray fan | Too much pressure / excessive flow | Adjust pressure and flow |
Maintenance (Daily Recommendation)
- Clean nozzle and air cap with a suitable solvent.
- Blow through all fluid passages with clean air.
- Lubricate O-rings and packings lightly with petroleum jelly.
- Check all air and fluid fittings for leaks.
- Oil all moving parts lightly and inspect for wear.
FAQ – Common Questions
1. What’s the difference between Lever and Screw Manifold?
The lever type allows fast detachment for cleaning, while the screw type offers compact mounting and optional recirculation.
2. Which nozzle suits fine coatings?
Use a 0.4–0.7 mm tip with the 90HV HVLP cap for ultra-fine atomisation.
3. How can I avoid overspray?
Keep a spray distance of 150–200 mm and reduce atomising pressure as needed.
4. What materials are supported?
Compatible with both water- and solvent-based fluids – do not use halogenated hydrocarbons.
5. When should the needle be replaced?
Replace when signs of leakage or wear appear—depends on usage hours and coating type.
Conclusion
The Binks AG362P delivers precision atomisation, modular design, and quick maintenance. Whether in cosmetics, glass, or electronics applications—it ensures repeatable, high-quality coating results and easy integration into automated systems.
