Buskirk Engineering - XIOM Plastic Powder Coating

No longer will you have to choose between using flimsy and messy paint or spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to set up a kiln that is limited in what it can do for you.

"The Gun That Protects Your World"

Portable Powder Coating Has Arrived!

Using the Xiom system

1. When you receive coatings for the Xiom system, it will always be in a powdered form. This powder is loaded into the canister.

2. The system is powered by air. You need no electricity whatsoever (except for your air compressor). The system pressures up immediately when the console is turned on and propane and oxygen are mixed in the gun's nozzle; all you need to do is use an igniter to light up the gases.

3. When the trigger is pulled (or there is an 'always-on' switch on the console so you don't have to hold the trigger on if you don't want to), the powder is fed from the canister to the gun and passes through the flame.

4. As the powdered coating passes through the flame, it's brought to its melting point and is ejected onto the surface that you are coating which is usually roughly 6" away from the gun.

5. The coating bonds to the surface that you are coating and solidifies immediately. You can touch it mere moments after it's been coated (you may want to let it cool for a few seconds first though)!

How the Xiom system works
in a nutshell

The Xiom system is very simple to use and understand. The key elements are:

The gun - has an on/off trigger that starts and stops the flow of powder.

The console - allows the user the ability to fine-tune the flow of powder or the size of the flame while the system is running.

The canister - 'fluidizes'the powder coatings.

Setting up the Xiom system

1. The three elements to the Xiom system are connected together by a few small lines which takes under 5 minutes.

2. The console is connected to a compressed air line, an oxygen tank (of any size, can be liquid or gas form), and to a propane tank (regular BBQ tank will suffice). Connectors, hoses, and regulators are included with the Xiom system. If you have a lot of humidity in your area, you will want to consider having an air dryer system in place.

3. That's it! You can use our mobile XIOM cart or mount the console to a wall easily, all it takes is five minutes, a drill, and a few bolts!

Changing coatings

To change over to a different Xiom coating takes less than five minutes.

1. Empty the existing powder from the canister and blow out the canister with air to remove any powder that may cling to the edges.

2. Blow out the powder feed tube that leads from the canister to the gun if necessary.

3. Pour the new powder you're using into the canister and close it up. You're ready to go again!

Easy clean up of over spray

If you accidentally miss the surface that you're intending to coat while moving around with the gun, it’s easy to clean-up! If the coating doesn't hit a surface within a few inches after it leaves the gun, it will solidify again in a powdered form in midair and land on the table or bench that you are coating on top of.
