About Powder Coating Guns

Powder-coating application guns are the core of any finishing setup, whether you’re coating one-off parts in a batch booth or running a full production line. CTSA offers both manual and automatic powder-coating guns designed to work within a complete system and deliver consistent, professional results. While both gun types use the same controller platform and share similar operating specs, each is built for a different workflow.

Manual Powder CoatingGuns

Manual guns are the go-to choice for batch work, touch-ups, and shops that coat a wide variety of parts. Operators control application with a handheld trigger and adjust settings directly at the controller. This makes manual guns ideal for detailed parts, custom runs, or operations that change colors frequently throughout the week.

Because they’re easy to set up, use, and maintain, manual guns are the most common starting point for small and mid-sized powder-coating operations. They work seamlessly with batch booths, small production areas, and job shops that require flexibility.

Automatic Powder Coating Guns

Automatic powder-coating guns are built for large systems and high-volume production environments. They use the same controller platform as manual guns, but operate in auto mode with sight eyes that trigger the guns on and off based on part position. This ensures consistent coverage, reduced overspray, and predictable results across long production runs.

Auto guns are typically installed on conveyor-driven systems or large spray enclosures and often require engineered mounting, detection, and accessory configurations. Because every automatic setup is unique, CTSA provides guided quoting to match the guns, controllers, and accessories to your exact line requirements.
