Best Hood to Match the Best Gun

Thanks to over 90 years of spray equipment expertise, SATA offers market leading, precision German engineered air-fed hoods to match its premium spray guns.


How long should a high-quality air-fed spray hood last? According to Kurt Way, PPG Category Manager, Associate Products, a market leading product, such as SATA® air vision 5000, can easily give a painter well over 10 years of outstanding service. Spread over that period of time, the extra purchase cost becomes negligible and is well worth it for the extra features, comfort and safety.
 
“Painters are quick to step up to the latest SATA spray gun model to get all the benefits it gives but they should be looking at a SATA air-fed hood in the same way. Younger painters, in particular, should be looking at a SATA air vision 5000 as a way of protecting their health and their career, while at the same time getting a stack of clever design features that make their job so much easier. Indeed, the PPG technical team has tested the SATA air vision 5000, feature-for-feature against other brands and found it to be the best on the market.”
 
“Two of the biggest factors cover exactly what painters need in a hood they use every day – vision and comfort. Firstly, the SATA air vision 5000 has a wide range of adjustments to comfortably fit anybody’s head shape but it also has an excellent field of vision through the replaceable, low-reflection visor. In fact, it’s almost 50% larger than the SATA vision 2000. Still on the subject of comfort, it’s very quiet and offers the ability to diffuse the incoming airflow to avoid it blowing on your face where it can cause dry or watery eyes. Depending on the conditions you are spraying in, three belt-mounted optional attachments offer even more comfortable. For example, the air humidifier delivers slightly moist air to help avoid a dry throat when you are in the booth for long periods. In hotter climates, the air cooler option keeps your face cooler to reduce sweat issues, while the air warmer is perfect for colder climates. Whether in North Queensland, Perth or the bottom of New Zealand’s south island, you can be comfortable every day. The new belt is a clever design, too. As well as being super comfortable, the air regulator can be easily switched from the left to right depending if the user is left or right-handed and it rotates by up to 45° to give a better angle when needed. The SATA air vision 5000 backed up by a full range of spare parts to keep it in tiptop condition. Look after it and it will continue looking after you long into the future.”
