IBEDA HVOF FLAME SPRAYING SYSTEM
TOPGUN® AirJet
The high-velocity flame spraying system (HVOF)
TopGun® AirJet is a world novelty: The HVOF gun optimised with respect to gas-dynamic criteria is cooled by compressed air and can be operated with powder and wire. In combination with the customer-friendly system control, the precise gas-flow control and the solid design, the innovative coating system provides for high quality at lowered investment and operating expenses.
Minimise costs – maximise Quality
In comparison with water-cooled HVOF guns, the air-cooled TopGun® AirJet guarantees a high coating quality despite the low power consumption. This evidence has been provided for various coating systems (e.g. WC/Co 88/12, WC/Co/Cr 86/10/4, Cr3C2/NiCr 75/25, Cu, Mo, Ag, AISI316L).
One of the performance features of the new HVOF spraying system is the application of powders and wires in the same device.

Owing to the sophisticated and user-friendly gun construction, a very fast conversion from powder to wire is possible. Another feature of this HVOF gun is the axial wire or powder injection which ensures an almost wear-free operating service of the gun.
Optimised efficiency scientifically proved!
The development of the TopGun® AirJet is based on the close cooperation between IBEDA and the Institute of Composite Materials at Chemnitz University of Technology which is well-known for its substantiated experience in the field of thermal spraying. So, the TopGun® AirJet is the product of current and fundamental research results which include modern numerical methods for describing hot-gas flows.
