Metco Metalizing Gun

Published On: 29 September 2022

Wire flame spray Gun Metco 16E (Metco Metalizing Gun) uses a single wire that is entered in a jet flame. The temperature is close to 10,100 K, melting the wire. The air stream from the jet atomizes the molten particles, falling them onto the substrate. The technological parameters, such as feedstock, flame spray gas composition, and flow rate, and energy input, play an important role in the relationship between the particles and the substrate.

The 16E / 16E-H / 16E-P Spray Gun is a hand-held, wire-fed, combustion thermal spray gun. The spray gun is capable of using all commonly available combustion fuel gases, with oxygen to produce flame sprayed coatings from Sulzer Metco metalizing wires. This gun is intended mainly for hand-held operation. the tool post of the gun on the front of the spray gun provides for machine or tool mounting.

There are three versions of the spray gun:

16E (Standard)
16E-H (High-Speed)
16E-P (Propane)

Features and Benefits

Effective

Mounting stud: for machine mounted operation.
Rugged, built-in wire snubber: prevents the wire from accidentally being pulled out of the gun.
Flexible hardware choices that allow the gun to be configured for use with hard and soft wires in a variety of diameters.
Choice of fuel gases to suit plant operational requirements and economics.
Thumb-operated wire feed control provides simple wire feed start and stop.
Wire drive feeds wire reliably, consistently and uniformly, regardless of fluctuations in air pressure.
Metric threading: all standard nuts, screws, and mating parts are supplied with metric threads, facilitating replacement where metric is used as the standard system of measurement.

Efficient

The rugged design is built for long service life with limited
maintenance.
the handle allows simple and quick set up of spray gas pressures and flows prior to gun ignition.
O-ring seals between nozzle and siphon plug ensure safe and reliable operation, simplify gun maintenance.
Simple maintenance and hardware changeover: the nozzle, siphon plug, front wire guide assemblies can be
easily removed and replaced as a complete unit.
Simple operation is required minimal operator training.

Environmental

Lightweight design for hand-held operation at approximately 2.5 kg (5.5 lb).
Safety handle reduces the risk of injuries
