Some problems and solutions for spray gun

date
2025/03/15

Sometimes we have a problem with our pneumatic paint spray gun. Here are some of the problems that can occur, and the corresponding solutions. I think you'll need them, good luck with your air spray gun!


Nozzle tip drips or leaks when gun is not triggered:

This means the needle and tip are not seating properly. This could be due to wear, damage, clogging, or debris. Remove the tip and clean it, making sure there is nothing in it that prevents the needle from seating. After reassembly, if there is still leakage, the needle and nozzle will likely need to be replaced.


Material does not flow:

Paint clogged at gun or material supply. If it is a gravity gun, check that the cup is connected properly and check that the cup is vented. There is a small hole near the top of the gravity cup, make sure it is not clogged.


Packing is leaking:

Tighten packing nut until leak stops. If this does not work, the needle packing will need to be replaced.

Problem

Causes

Measures

1.Paint comes and goes

1. Air entering the paint passages

5. Damaged or poorly fastened nozzle

5. Replace and tighten nozzle

6. broken or loose needle valve sealing washer

6. Replace and tighten needle valve sealing washer.

7. High paint viscosity

7. Thin paint to proper viscosity.

8. Plugged air holes in paint container lid on suction or gravity

8. Remove air hole plugs from paint container lids.

2.Incomplete spray pattern

1. Clogged corner hole in air cap

First try to spray, and then turn the air cap 180 °, take the two spray pattern comparison, if the spray pattern is the same, is a bad nozzle; if the spray pattern is different, it is a bad air cap


2. Dirt on side of paint nozzle

1. Loosen the air adjusting bolt cap appropriately.


2. Spraying air pressure is too low

2. Increase spraying air pressure

3. Paint viscosity too high

3. Thin the paint properly

4. Properly reduce the pressure of the pressure feed paint

5. Paint nozzle too large

5. Replace the paint nozzle
