PPS 2.0 INDUSTRIAL SPRAY GUN 3M KIT

What it is and why choose it

The PPS 2.0 Industrial Spray Gun 3M Kit is based on the 3M High Performance Spray Gun and the 3M PPS Series 2.0 paint preparation system. Using a pressure-assisted gravity configuration (H/O conversion pack) together with PPS 2.0 cups, it is designed to deliver superior application of high-viscosity coatings and textured finishes while reducing cleaning time and increasing productivity in professional body shops and industrial environments.

The system makes use of innovative, replaceable 3M atomizing nozzles and rigid pressurized PPS 2.0 cups, allowing a wide range of spray patterns and textures and helping to match OEM-style finishes on automotive repairs and protective coatings.

Main features

• Pressure-assisted gravity spray system when used with the 3M H/O Conversion Pack and PPS 2.0 H/O pressurized cup.
• Compatible with multiple 3M gravity atomizing nozzle sizes (1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0).
• Designed for high-viscosity and thick liquid coatings, including textured protective coatings.
• Supports a broad range of textures, from coarse to fine, to help reproduce factory-like finishes.
• Replaceable atomizing heads help increase productivity and reduce coating consumption.
• Integrates with the 3M PPS Series 2.0 system, using disposable liners, lids and pressurized cups.
• Operating inlet pressure range of the 3M High Performance Gravity Spray Gun: 0.5 – 2.6 bar (7 – 37 psi).
• Control knobs made from Type III black anodized 6061 aluminum coating for durability.
• Designed exclusively for professional industrial use.

• Protective coatings and textured finishes where different surface textures are required.
• Automotive repair operations where matching factory-like appearance is important.
• Use with a wide variety of liquids and very viscous (thick) materials in professional industrial environments.

FAQ

1. What is the operating pressure range of the 3M High Performance Spray Gun in this kit?

   The operating inlet pressure range is from 0.5 bar to 2.6 bar (7 psi to 37 psi).

2. Which gravity atomizing nozzle sizes are compatible?

   The spray gun can be used with 3M gravity atomizing nozzles 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0, corresponding to 3M references 26712, 26713, 26714, 26716, 26718 and 26720.

3. For what type of materials is the PPS 2.0 Industrial Spray Gun 3M Kit suitable?

   It is mainly designed for thick and high-viscosity liquid materials, including textured protective coatings and similar products where pressure-assisted gravity feed is beneficial.

4. What advantages does the H/O pressurized PPS 2.0 cup provide?

   It offers pressure assistance to feed high-viscosity materials, allows the use of PPS 2.0 disposable liners and lids, and helps achieve various coating textures while maintaining the benefits of the PPS system.

5. Does this system help reduce cleaning time?

   Yes. The use of replaceable atomizing nozzles and PPS 2.0 disposable components reduces the time required to clean the spray gun.

6. Is the equipment intended for hobby or professional use?

   The 3M High Performance Spray Gun is designed exclusively for professional industrial use.

7. How should the spray gun be stored after use?

   Ensure the equipment is cleaned before storage and store the gun with a nozzle connected to protect the needle.

8. How should the PPS 2.0 H/O cup be assembled?

   Select the appropriate H/O pressure cup, insert the correct-size flexible liner, prepare and fit the lid, secure the H/O ring to the rigid cup, connect the air supply hose, attach the cup to the spray gun nozzle and then connect the loose end of the air hose to the H/O conversion pack supply port.

9. Can the gun body be placed in a gun washer or immersed in solvent?

   No. The instructions indicate not to place the spray gun or gun body in a gun washer and not to immerse the gun or nozzles in cleaning solvents.
