On the 12th April, John De Courcy and Patrick Hom, representing DUX Europe ltd part of the American company DUX, visited CESVIMAP to show their application equipment with laminar flow technology. Laminar flow, sometimes known as streamline flow, occurs when a fluid flows in parallel layers, with no disruption between the layers. So turbulences in the fluid are reduced (in the case of spraygun, is the compressed air) improving characteristics of the application, specially transfer efficiency ratio.

After presenting their company, the laminar flow technology and the characteristics of the spraygun, the workshop continued with a practical session in the bodyshop.

By means of several tests the particularities of the equipment in regulation, handling, yield, and finish were known.

During the next few months the technicians at CESVIMAP painting department, will carry out several tests with the loaned equipment with the purpose of analysing and evaluating the different advantages that the spraygun and its technology can contribute in the refinishing market.
