Green: System Running
The system is running or ready to run. This light shows that all functions are operating normally and without faults.
Powder Management
Powder Center
Fast, controlled color change for powder coating.
The powder center is the central unit that feeds powder to the guns, available in two models. Base feeds powder, warns when powder runs low and is managed from a single screen. Pro also mixes powder returning from the cyclone with virgin powder and automatically cleans injectors, hoses and guns at color change; together with a PVC mono-cyclone booth it brings color changes down to minutes.

Powder management covers two different needs: frequent color change and long runs in a single color. The right product follows from that question.

How It Works
Two Models: Base and Pro.
The powder center comes in two models. Base only feeds powder; Pro also mixes virgin and reclaimed powder and cleans automatically at color change.
Powder Center Base
A Simple Feeding Unit.
- Feeding the gunsPowder in the hopper is fed to the guns through the hoses by the injectors.
- Low-powder warningWhen the powder in the hopper runs low, the system warns the operator so powder is topped up in time.
- Single-screen controlFeeding and gun settings are managed from a single screen.
Base has no virgin/reclaimed powder mixing and no automatic cleaning mode.
Powder Center Pro
Virgin Powder, Reclaimed Powder, One Hopper.
- Virgin powder feedVirgin powder is drawn from the box into the powder center hopper by a suction lance.
- Reclaimed powderThere is no hopper under the cyclone; the TP-2 transfer pump sends powder from the cyclone directly to the powder center hopper.
- Mixing and level controlBoth powders mix in the hopper. The level sensor in the middle of the injector carrier monitors the powder level.
- Feeding the gunsInjectors deliver the mixed powder through the hoses to the guns.
- Automatic cleaningAt color change, injectors, hoses and guns are cleaned automatically with compressed air (see below).
Automatic Cleaning · Pro
What Happens at Color Change?
- Hopper removedA piston lifts the carrier holding the injectors and level sensor; the hopper is removed and cleaned.
- Purging with airThe piston lowers, the tubes seat into their purge ports and clean compressed air purges the injectors, hoses and guns.
- Cyclone and boothThe lower part of the cyclone is opened by pistons and cleaned; while the operator cleans the booth, airborne powder is drawn to the cyclone through the extraction points on the powder center.

Control
The Whole Line From One Screen.
The powder center, booth and gun control units are managed from a PLC touchscreen; color-change steps and gun recipes are followed from a single point.
Status Lights
System Status at a Glance.
The light framing the powder center booth opening shows the current system status in color. Without checking the screen, the operator can see whether the line is running, on standby or needs attention.
White: Standby Mode
The system is not active, but there is no fault either. Suitable for preparation and checks.
Red: Emergency
An emergency has occurred: the system is shut off up to the air supply and safely stopped. Intervention is required.
