Powder Paint Fluid Bed Extension Cup

Product detailed description

Amigo Fluid Bed Extension Adapter is an extension part for the compatible Amigo fluid bed used for lead coating paints. It fits onto the upper part of the cup and increases the working height of the fluid bed. This makes coating longer or more elongated lead castings easier, especially when the standard cup height does not provide enough comfortable working space.

The purpose of the adapter is simple. If you are coating small jig heads or small sinkers, the standard cup height is usually enough. Once you start coating longer pilkers, elongated fishing weights, larger cheburashka weights or other longer lead parts, the extra working height makes controlled dipping into the fluidised paint much easier.

The Amigo extension adapter increases the height of the fluid bed upwards, giving you more space above the paint layer. The casting can be guided into the cup more smoothly and accurately, with less risk of hitting the rim of the cup or disturbing the evenly fluidised paint layer.

This is especially useful for castings with a longer body, more pronounced shape or more detailed profile. With pilkers, elongated fishing weights and longer jig heads, you need enough space above the paint so the part can be dipped and lifted out cleanly without unnecessary contact with the cup edge.

The extension adapter is not a fluid bed on its own. It is an accessory for the Amigo fluid bed, and its job is to increase the working height of the cup during coating. The paint is still fluidised by the fluid bed itself, connected to an air pump or compressor according to the type of paint being used.

Within the small Amigo coating setup, this part works as a practical extension of the basic fluid bed. The Amigo fluid bed provides the actual air-fluidised paint layer, the Amigo extension adapter increases the working height, and the Amigo replacement cup is useful as a spare cup or as a separate cup for another colour.

Amigo Fluid Bed Extension Adapter is recommended for anyone who coats not only small jig heads and sinkers, but also longer pilkers, elongated fishing weights or more shaped lead castings. It is a simple accessory that increases the working space of the fluid bed and makes coating longer pieces more precise and comfortable.

Use it with the Amigo Fluid Bed for Lead Coating Paints and its matching cup, including the Amigo Replacement Plastic Cup. The extension adds height, not diameter or airflow capacity; it is not the extension for the XL bed.

Choose the air source by coating type and fill quantity. APS 100 is sufficient for powder paint in the standard Amigo setup. The extension fitted onto the plastic cup allows a larger fill; for this, we recommend APS 400 with suitable outlet joining and airflow regulation into Amigo’s single inlet. Use the stronger Hailea compressor for rubberized coatings: neither APS 100 nor APS 400 lifts them adequately. With Hailea, Amigo can coat small quantities of small castings; XL with Hailea is the main choice for regular rubber-coating work.

An even finish depends on clean metal, its temperature and steady airflow. A cold casting may not pick up the powder correctly, while an overheated one can produce an excessively thick coat. Test one piece and adjust the setup before coating a whole batch.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Which parts belong to the Amigo setup?

The plastic cup is the replacement container for the Amigo bed. The Amigo extension fits onto this cup and allows a larger powder fill. The XL extension does not fit Amigo.

Which pump should I use for powder paint?

APS 100 is sufficient for the standard Amigo setup. For a larger fill with the extension, we recommend APS 400 with suitable connections and airflow control into the single inlet.

Can Amigo be used for rubberized coatings?

Yes, on a small scale with the stronger Hailea compressor and controlled airflow. Do not use APS 100 or APS 400 for rubberized coatings.

Can APS 400 supply two small beds?

Yes. For powder paint, connect each of its two outlets to one Amigo or Medium. It can supply two Amigo beds, two Medium beds, or one of each.
