Spray 2K paint with Airmix® manual gun

Save up to 30% of paint, 25% of cycle time and obtain high finishing quality with the Xcite®+ manual gun spraying combined with automatic mixing technology.

Description

Paint and hardener are pumped and mixed fresh during spraying. Airmix® technology ensures efficient atomization and coating with viscous paint. The 2K unit automates pot-life control, color changes, purging, and cleaning.

Colors are pumped to the color-change valve block by piston pumps drawing paint from the original drums. Drums can include a paint agitator to prevent sedimentation, and paint can be heated to reduce viscosity. The hardener is pumped from a sealed tank using the Flowmax® pump, which is fully sealed to prevent humidity contamination.

The 2K mixing machine proportions and mixes only during spraying to ensure fresh, homogeneous paint at the gun. During application, the Airmix® gun atomizes paint through a straight pressure drop and completes atomization with a limited amount of air.

Airmix® technology allows spraying a single thick layer of high-viscosity, thixotropic paints. The 2K unit monitors pot-life and provides fully automatic color change, purging, and cleaning operations.

  • Struggling with 2K paint mixing?

    Stop Wasting Paint, Time, and Resources with Outdated Methods
    Manual 2K paint application can be messy, wasteful, and time-consuming. But it doesn't have to be.
    Automated mixing and dosing solutions bring consistency, reduce material loss, and streamline the process—so you can focus on delivering quality results.
    Discover a Smarter Way to Apply 2K Coatings
    The Hidden Drawbacks of Traditional 2K Paint Application
    Professionals using two-component coatings often deal with:
    ❌ Unreliable Mixing – Incorrect ratios can cause curing problems and poor adhesion, leading to rework.
    ❌ Short Pot Life – Wasted paint and clogged equipment are common, increasing downtime.
    ❌ Excessive Cleaning – Frequent solvent flushing increases costs and raises environmental concerns.
    ❌ Manual Errors – Skilled operators are essential, but even they aren’t immune to mistakes.
    How Automation Changes the Game
    ✅ Accurate Mixing on Demand – Perfect ratios every time, with less material loss.
    ✅ Cleaner Equipment – Less cured paint in the system means fewer maintenance headaches.
    ✅ Reduced Solvent Usage – Automated rinsing cuts waste and improves regulatory compliance.
    ✅ Repeatable Quality – Consistent performance ensures top-tier finishes on every job.
    Still mixing 2K paint by hand? It might be time to calculate the real cost of waste, downtime, and rework.

  • How to select the correct tips for my Airmix® sprayer?

    The first two digits XX show the caliber of the orifice, directly linked to the flow rate.
    The following digits YY, are related to the width of the spray pattern at the standard distance of 25cm (10in.)
    The digit Z defines the type of paint and fan geometry: Water-based, solvent-based, or assymetric solvent-based
    (Assymetric fan: Same width as a standard one but the flow of paint is higher on one side (70%) than on the other (30%))
    FOR EXAMPLE:
    Apply 0.6 L/min at 120 bar of water-based paint with a spray pattern of approximately 25 cm
    XX -> Caliber #09 will deliver the appropriate flow rate at 120 bar
    YY -> Width #11 for a spray pattern of 25 cm
    Z -> #2 : Xtra fine finish tip for water-based materials
    The part number of the tip will be: 134.5XX.YYZ
    134.509.112
