Why use a Gravity Feed Spray Gun Pot Filter
|
|
|
|
1. Prevents Contamination
|
|
|
|
Traps debris, dust, dried paint particles, and clumps before they enter the spray gun nozzle.
|
|
|
|
Helps maintain a clean, consistent spray pattern and prevents nozzle clogging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Improves Spray Quality
|
|
|
|
Ensures only clean, filtered paint reaches the nozzle, reducing splatter or uneven coating.
|
|
|
|
Critical for smooth finishes in automotive paint jobs or furniture coatings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Reduces Gun Maintenance
|
|
|
|
By filtering out contaminants, the pot filter prevents internal blockages in the gun.
|
|
|
|
Helps extend the lifespan of needles, nozzles, and air caps.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Ensures Consistent Flow
|
|
|
|
Prevents sudden interruptions or surges in material flow caused by trapped particles.
|
|
|
|
Maintains even atomization, which is crucial for uniform coverage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Saves Time and Rework
|
|
|
|
Reduces the risk of defects like fisheyes, streaks, or specks in the finish.
|
|
|
|
Minimizes the need for sanding and repainting due to contamination.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Easy to Use and Replace

The benefits of a Gravity Feed Spray Gun Pot Filter
|
|
|
|
1. Prevents Spray Gun Clogging
|
|
|
|
Filters out dirt, dried paint flakes, and debris before they enter the spray gun nozzle.
|
|
|
|
Reduces the risk of blockages, which can interrupt spraying and cause uneven finishes.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Improves Finish Quality
|
|
|
|
Ensures only clean, smooth paint or coating material reaches the spray tip.
|
|
|
|
Results in a consistent spray pattern, reducing defects like spitting, streaks, or specks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Saves Time and Reduces Rework
|
|
|
|
Fewer paint defects mean less sanding, touch-up, or repainting.
|
|
|
|
Helps achieve a professional finish on the first pass, improving efficiency.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Protects Spray Gun Components
