What is transfer efficiency?

Transfer efficiency, in the context of a spraying process, means the amount of material that adheres to the target or work piece compared to the amount of material that was sprayed through the spray gun. It is important to understand the transfer efficiency of a spraying process from both a cost and regulatory viewpoint. Transfer efficiency is usually expressed as a percentage. Many factors affect the transfer efficiency of a spray application process such as:

– Operator technique
– Equipment settings
– Correct matching of equipment to the process

Many customers report vast material savings following the training.
