DUX products offer flexibility, proven cost savings
DUX products are built on advanced airflow technology originally developed to optimise the performance of Formula race car engines. This has produced the first improvements to spray gun technology in decades. Features of the DUX product line include:
- Dramatic transfer efficiency improvements which allow customers to reduce coating usage and cost by an average of 15-40%.
- Significantly reduced overspray which creates a healthier work environment, and allows for faster clean-up.
Reduced disposal costs and less use of air filters, masking materials and other consumables items containing hazardous waste.- An operator-friendly design -balanced, easy-to-use products that are the lightest weight in their classes.
- Flexibility which allows one gun to be used for multiple applications and with a wide range of coating viscosities and solids content.
- Meets or exceeds worldwide air quality standards related to air spray equipment.
DUX's three products are:
- DUX Pressure Feed - Typically used in industrial environments where large quantities of the same coating are sprayed throughout the day, this product receives both atomising air and fluid through the base of the gun for better balance and ease of use.
DUX Gravity Feed - Used when smaller quantities of coating or more frequent material changes are required, this version of the DUX spray gun is designed with a centre mounted fluid up and a shorter barrel than all competing guns. This allows it to fit into tight spaces while maintaining a balanced and lightweight feel for the operator.- DUX Automatic - Used with robotic applicators or reciprocators, this version of the DUX gun is mounted directly to automated spray equipment. Its compact design results in nearly 25% reduction in weight over other automatic guns, resulting in less wear and tear on robotics equipment.
