HISTORY
THE MOST IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS IN ANEST IWATA’S HISTORY
ANEST IWATA has been developing and producing first-class products for the sectors of spray painting and coating
technology, compressors and vacuum pumps as well as systems engineering since 1926.
The first notable milestone was the development of the first spray gun by iwata in 1927. The first piston compressors followed airless spray technology and pumps. In the 1960s, the first ANEST IWATA paint-spray lines and air compressors with two-way cooling came onto the market, followed by airbrush spray technology, screw compressors,
double diaphragm pumps, the world’s first painting robot, as well as the world’s first oil-free vacuum compressors
and pumps.
In addition to low-pressure spraying technology and low-pressure
vacuum pumps and booster compressors, the product range was
expanded by the product range of AirGunsa (a brand of ANEST
IWATA).
2000
2000
Just at the turn of the millennium in the year
2000, ANEST IWATA introduced the most
ground-breaking technology of all onto the
market: the High-End Pre Atomization Technology4 with split nozzle whose high performance
has been recommended by paint manufacturers worldwide and is available around the
world.
2013
2003
In 2013 ANEST IWATA united the Pre Atomization Technology with the HVLP Technology and
released a professional spray gun which had
never existed on the market before.
Notes:
SUPERNOVA Series
1998
1993
In 1993 ANEST IWATA released the first spray painting gun with
LVLP1 (Low Volume Low Pressure) technology as a successor to the
HVLP2 technology. In 1998 we launched the High T.E.C.3 (High Transfer Efficiency Control) spray gun series.
1
LVLP Technology: The LVLP (Low Volume, Low Pressure) low pressure technology atomizes paint material yet reduces mist levels with a low internal
nozzle pressure and a low consumption of air. That means the air requirement is significantly lower than in the HVLP method.
HVLP Technology: The HVLP (High Volume, Low Pressure) low pressure
technology atomizes paint material yet reduces mist levels by using a low
internal nozzle pressure, yet higher air consumption.
High T.E.C. System: High Transfer Efficiency Control in compliance with
VOC regulations with an efficiency rate significantly higher than 65%.
Pre Atomization Technology: The Pre Atomization Technology with split
nozzle- in contrast to the established standard round nozzle- the material is
pre-atomized directly at the edge of the nozzle. The result is an even, soft
and finely atomized spraying stream with low air incoming pressure and less
air consumption. The spray material can be well directed and less overspray
(spraying mist) results. The wet core is evenly developed with a high potential to reduce material consumption.

A DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGY: PRE ATOMIZATION TECHNOLOGY
WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THIS TECHNOLOGY?
With the Pre Atomizing Technology with split nozzle - in contrast to the
conventional round nozzle - the material is pre-atomized directly at the
outer edge of the nozzle.
The results in an even, soft and finely atomized spray stream with
low inlet air pressure and low air consumption. The spray material is
applied in a targeted fashion with a low amount of overspray. The wet
core is evenly characterized and exhibits a high potential to save on material usage.
