The wire flame spray gun is working on the basic principle of spraying a molten metal on a surface provided for coating. Basically, material that is in wire form is melted in a flame (oxygen and LPG/acetylene are most common) and then atomized using compressed air to form a fine spray. When this fine spray contacts the prepared target surface of substrate material, these fine molten metal droplets just solidify forming a coating. The wire flame spray process has been widely used in the past and today also for anti-corrosion coatings and machine element work.
Our flame spray gun is a robust and user-friendly wire metal spray system that is used for spraying both ferrous and non-ferrous material. Key applications for the wire flame spray process are restoring worn-out components, conductivity, and anti-corrosion coating. The wire is fed into the front torch through the air-driven turbine. Fuel gas like acetylene, LPG or Propane, and oxygen is properly and safely mixed in the siphon plug head assembly which in turn provides a combustible heat source. The molten metal is atomized and propelled by means of compressed air in the form of fine metal spray for coating on job surfaces.

Optional Accessories of Flame Spray Gun
Extension Nozzles : These nozzles can spray at depths of up to 1.1 meters, and straight and deflector air caps can be used to direct the spray stream to the desired area. It is commonly used for spraying internal diameter or difficult-to-reach coating surfaces. It is simple to install by unscrewing the standard air cap body and replacing it with the extension. This can be completed in about 1-2 minutes without the use of any tools.
Air Control Unit : Air filter cum regulator for secondary filtration and air flow regulation to wire flame spray gun. An additional outlet connects the operator's helmet.
Hose Kit : Hose for connecting oxygen and fuel gas cylinders with flow meter to spray gun.
Gas Flow Meter : Our flow meters are ideal for use with Flame Spray Equipment. The ease of reading aids in cost-effective operation and rapid fault diagnosis. The unit includes a flowmeter for both the oxygen and the fuel gas supplies.
Air Flow Meter With Hose : It is a highly precise, rugged, and dependable instrument for regulating and measuring compressed air flow in a wire combustion spray system.
Wire Control Unit : The Wire Reel Stand with Straightener is designed specifically for dispensing wires for flame spraying. The unit comes with a wire straightener and can handle reeled or loose coiled wire or spool.
Spray Booth : It is used to control sprayed dust and fumes during metallizing operations. It transports both metal dust particles and heat. Duct work has adjustable pipe length and ball joints to accommodate individual needs.
