Cooperation with the University of Chemnitz

For the development of the torch, IBEDA could resort to the many years of experience of the Institute of Composite Materials at Chemnitz University of Technology in the field of thermalspraying.

The utilisation of current and fundamental research results, which include modern numerical methods todescribe hot-gas flows, has lead to a system optimised with respect to fluid-dynamic criteria.

The application of powders and wires in the same device is one performance feature of the new IBEDA HVOF spraying system. Due to the efficient air cooling of the torch, it is possible to dispense with the application of the demanding watercooling.

Spray jet divergence: The low spray jet divergence of the IBEDA TOPGUN AIRJET resulting from the axial powder injection causes a small concentrated sprayjet. It leads to powder savings especially with smaller components.
  In comparison with water-cooled HVOF torches, the air-cooled TOPGUN AIRJET guarantees a high coating quality despite the low power consumption.
