INTRODUCTION SHORT OVERVIEW The ANEST IWATA Group, founded by Iwata Seisakusho in 1926, is a leading global manufacturer in the sector of coating technology with over 1,300 employees around the world. We offer high-quality coating technology for the application of spray materials in the fields of car refinish, woodworking and industrial paint finishing as well as airbrushing for all areas of individual application around the globe. In addition to pumps and compressors, spray painting systems are among the most important products of the company. The headquarters of the ANEST IWATA Group are located in Japan. The newest products and leading technologies which are utilized around the world are developed in our technical centers in Japan. To focus on the German market, ANEST IWATA established AN- EST IWATA Deutschland GmbH in Leipzig. This location focuses on setting up and expanding technical sales support as well as caring for the network of dealers in Germany, Austria, and Eastern Europe. Company Founder Iwata Seisakusho WHAT DOES ANEST IWATA STAND FOR? The ANEST IWATA Group is a continually active corporation which is oriented toward steady development. By consistently developing new products and leading innovations in technology, we always strive toward constant improvement and perfection. The ANEST IWATA group is the innovator for employing the latest application processes. ACTIVE & NEWEST TECHNOLOGY IWATA There are a great variety of technical demands required of spray painting engineering depending on the various sectors which use the technology. Thus, there are huge differences in the parameters regarding the required quality of coating equipment. Only an optimized combination of the technical parameters will convince the operator and encourage him to enjoy working with the selected equipment. ANEST IWATA knows the needs and quality demands of our customers and offers continually improved product solutions, thus ensuring a high degree of perfection. 3
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 1993 ANEST IWATA released the first spray painting gun with LVLP 1 (Low Volume Low Pressure) technology as a successor to the HVLP 2 technology. In 1998 we launched the High T.E.C. 3 (High Transfer Efficiency Control) spray gun series. 1993 1998 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). Just at the turn of the millennium in the year 2000, 2000 ANEST IWATA introduced the most ground-breaking technology of all onto the market: the High-End Pre Atomization Technology 4 with split nozzle whose high performance has been recommended by paint manufacturers worldwide and is available around the world. 2003 In 2013 ANEST IWATA united the Pre Atomization Technology with the HVLP Technology and released ed a professional spray gun which had never existed on the market before. Notes: 2000 2013 SUPERNOVA 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. 2 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. 3 High T.E.C. System: High Transfer Efficiency Control in compliance with VOC regulations with an efficiency rate significantly higher than 65%. 4 4 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 CLOSER LOOK AT PRODUCTION FROM INGOTS TO SPRAY GUNS The ANEST IWATA factory in Akita was established in 1972. It is one of the factories in which the ANEST IWATA superior spray gun models are manufactured. 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 Spray gun bodies are manufactured out of aluminum ingots The molten metal is injected into the mold and pressed. The de-burred spray gun bodies are furnished with threads and drill holes. Air cap, material needle and nozzle. ANEST IWATA know-how. Spray gun assembly with a high degree of manual work. Inspection of the spray pattern with coating material. 9
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. ROUND NOZZLE 0,05 bar 0,1 bar 0,2 bar 0,3 bar SPLIT NOZZLE THE ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE Very fine atomization with low inlet air pressure Less air consumption split nozzle Soft spray pattern for easy operation Significantly less overspray Very high material transference due to large, even, flat spraying core round nozzle High spray painting safety 10
