A CLEAN CUT ABOVE THE REST

KEEPING YOUR GUN THOROUGHLY CLEAN
is key to maintaining it in peak perfor- mance and ensuring it has a long lifespan. Designed to be economical, powerful and simple to use, the new SATA Multi Clean 2 brings SATA’s precision, German engineer-
ing to the spray gun cleaning operation. Features include a powerful, yet gen- tle, automatic washing cycle that effi- ciently decontaminates all the material passages. You can use it to give your guns a deep, thorough clean at least once a day or a quick rinse after each paint application task. There is also a manual, hand washing mode that lets you efficiently tackle cleaning tasks, such as pre-cleaning the gun and cup. It features a pedal activated cleaning fluid flow to the brush and is a closed system that is VOC compliant. To protect other internal parts of the gun, a low pressure air connection prevents cleaning solu- tion entering the air passages during the
cleaning and rinsing process.
As well as packing plenty of cleaning power, the SATA Multi Clean 2 is very economical. Internally, there are two sep- arate storage container systems – one for the cleaning phase and another for the rinse cycle. Using fresh cleaning solution only for the rinsing process means an im- pressively low solvent consumption of just 200ml for each cleaning cycle. A re- placeable filter inside the cleaning system container captures coarse residue from the washing process and removes it from the system. An automatic fume extrac- tion system protects the operator from harmful vapours whilst the lid of the cleaning chamber is open. The whole system is driven by a high performance, robust, low wear, double diaphragm pump that delivers a long lifespan of ef- ficient and effective gun washing.
A range of SATA spray equipment, is available from authorised SATA distrib- utors across Australia and New Zealand.
PPG’S DIGIMATCH
PPG HAS ANNOUNCED THE INTRODUCTION
of PPG VISUALIZID - advanced 3D visu- alization software and the PPG DigiMatch digital colour camera for easier and faster colour matching in body shops. The ad- vanced tools are the latest components of
the PPG LINQ end-to-end digital solution for the global refinish industry.
Customers can streamline their repair process by using PPG’s cloud-based plat- form and its interconnected digital hard- ware, software and innovative services.
The PPGDigiMatch multi-angle digi- tal colour camera helps body shop employ- ees match col- our easier and faster. It fea- tures an ergo- nomic design that is light- weight and can be used with one hand. The camera’s six imaging angles and six
reflectance angles, provide colour and texture information to help retrieve the correct formula matches quickly and efficiently.
PPGVisualizID software takes infor- mation from PPG DigiMatch or PPG’s other spectrophotometers to help users find the best colour match from PPG’s extensive colour portfolio. It is the first software of its kind in the industry, digi- tizing a process that used to involve trial and error and ultimately reducing waste.
Kevin Woolerton, PPG Refinish Mar- keting Director ANZ said: “We see Digi- Match and VisualizID as absolute game changing technologies for the local colli- sion repair industry and customers won’t have long to wait – we are aiming for a September 2022 launch in Austral- ian and New Zealand. It’s another excit- ing milestone in the rollout of the overall PPG LINQ digital ecosystem.”
