Oltrogge GmbH & Co. KG Lackieranlagen designs and manufactures technically sophisticated industrial solutions for manual and automatic application. For optimum painting results - essential for sectors such as the automotive industry - the Bielefeld-based company recommends the use of nitrogen as an atomizing gas. The physical properties of nitrogen result in particularly fine and efficient atomization of the material, as is required in automotive painting, for example.
The effect of using nitrogen as an atomizing gas compared to conventional painting with compressed air is immediately apparent: Due to the much finer structure of the gas, it is possible to work with less pressure in the system. On the one hand, this increases the application efficiency and, on the other, reduces overspray. Tests in practice have shown that paint stores can save up to 20 percent in material and thus cash. Another qualitative advantage compared to the process operated with compressed air is a constant atomizer gas quality, which ensures a much more uniform fine spray pattern.
