WAGNER · POWDER COATING SYSTEM
Sprint 2 B
Box Feed Manual Powder Coating System
The Wagner Sprint 2 B is a factory-authorized box-fed manual powder coating system built around the PEM-X1 manual gun, the WACON Sprint 2 XE control unit with Digital Surface Optimizer (DSO), and the Quick-Link injector system. The Sprint 2 B feeds powder directly from the supplier’s original 25 kg box on an integrated vibrating platform — the fastest color-change configuration in the Sprint 2 platform, designed for job shops and production lines that switch colors multiple times per shift.

OVERVIEW
Fast Color Changes, Straight From the Original Box
The Sprint 2 B is Wagner’s box-feed configuration of the Sprint 2 manual platform. Instead of transferring powder into a dedicated hopper, the Sprint 2 B draws powder directly from the supplier’s original 25 kg shipping box, which sits on an integrated electric vibrating table that keeps the powder fluidized and feeding evenly to the suction lance. This eliminates the hopper fill-and-clean step and turns color changes into a simple box swap.
The system is built around three core Wagner components: the PEM-X1 manual gun with integrated 100kV high-performance cascade and on-gun trigger controls, the WACON Sprint 2 XE control unit with Air Flow Control and Digital Surface Optimizer, and the Quick-Link injector (box-feed version, 2466079) which detaches all powder and air hoses with a single coupling.
The Sprint 2 B ships as a pre-assembled mobile unit on a 2-wheel cart with vibrating table, swivel arm and scraper ring, gun holder, hose management, grounding cable, and US mains cable. No hopper required — powder is pulled straight from the box on the vibrator, which is why this is the configuration of choice for shops that prioritize color-change speed over dedicated-color runs.
KEY FEATURES
Built for Color-Change Speed and Coating Consistency
VIBRATING TABLE
Feed From the Original Box
Integrated 115V/60Hz electric vibrator motor agitates the powder box, maximizing fluidization and keeping the suction lance fed with evenly distributed powder — no hopper transfer required.
AFC TECHNOLOGY
Air Flow Control (Closed-Loop)
A high-precision closed control loop continuously measures and regulates air volume during spraying, producing a uniform powder cloud and more consistent film build across complex geometries.
DSO ASSISTANCE
Digital Surface Optimizer
DSO reduces overcharge effects on complex parts — particularly valuable for decorative coatings, deep recesses, short spraying distances, and easy-to-charge powders that typically back-ionize.
QUICK-LINK INJECTOR
One-Hand Hose Release
All powder and air hoses detach in a single motion via the Quick-Link coupling. Combined with the box-feed design, this makes Sprint 2 B the fastest color-change configuration in the Sprint 2 lineup.
SWIVEL ARM + SCRAPER
Auto-Wipe on Lance Removal
Robust swivel arm (2466049) holds the suction lance and pump over the box. Integrated scraper ring wipes the lance as it lifts out, eliminating hand-cleaning between colors.
50-RECIPE MEMORY
Reproducible Coating Programs
Four recipes via direct-select buttons, 46 more on the rotary knob. Double-click the gun trigger to jump to a special recipe mid-job.
PEM-X1 GUN
490g Ergonomic Design
Lightweight manual gun with integrated cascade cooling, three selectable charging curves, replaceable electrode protective wedge, and on-gun powder quantity controls.
MOBILE PLATFORM
Versatile Base Design
Pre-assembled cart accommodates different box sizes or small fluid containers on the vibrating platform. Integrated gun holder and hose hooks keep the workstation organized.
CONFIGURATION CHOICE
Sprint 2 B (Box Feed) vs Sprint 2 H (Hopper Feed)
Both use the same PEM-X1 gun, WACON Sprint 2 XE control unit, and Quick-Link injector — the difference is how powder is delivered. You can convert between the two later.
| Consideration | Sprint 2 B (This Page) | Sprint 2 H → |
|---|---|---|
| Powder source | Original box on vibrating platform | 60L or 25L stainless hopper w/ fluid bed |
| Best for | Frequent color changes, short runs, job shops | Dedicated-color production, higher throughput |
| Color change speed | Faster — swap box, clean injector, go | Slower — hopper must be emptied & cleaned |
| Fluidization | Vibrator motor agitates box | Porous fluid bed in hopper base |
| Hopper required | No — feeds straight from box | Yes — 60L or 25L sold separately |

CET APPLICATION MATCH
Is the Sprint 2 B the Right Fit for Your Shop?
Based on over 60 years supplying industrial finishing equipment, CET’s technical team specifies the Sprint 2 B for shops where color-change speed and flexibility outweigh dedicated-color throughput. Box feeding eliminates the hopper fill-and-clean step, so operations running multiple colors per shift move through changes noticeably faster. If you need dedicated-color runs instead, see the Sprint 2 H. Not sure? Call 586-210-0555.
Who Runs the Sprint 2 B Daily
| Typical users | Custom Powder CoatersJob ShopsWheel & RimAuto AftermarketSmall-Batch Fabricators |
| Production profile | Multiple colors per day or per shift. Batch sizes that don’t justify a dedicated hopper. Job-by-job customer requirements. |
| Booth setup | Manual powder booth with recovery. Sprint 2 B rolls into position, grounding cable to booth ground bar. CET can pair with a GFS booth for turnkey install. |
| Compressed air | Clean, dry, oil-free air. Refrigerated dryer + coalescing filter recommended. CET can spec compressor and air prep alongside the Sprint 2 B. |

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Sprint 2 B Common Questions
How fast is a color change on the Sprint 2 B?
Much faster than a hopper system. Lift the suction lance (scraper ring auto-wipes), detach hoses with Quick-Link, clean the injector (opens tool-free), swap the box, drop the lance back in. No hopper to empty or clean. This is why job shops choose the Sprint 2 B over the Sprint 2 H.
Can I convert to hopper feed later?
What box sizes fit the vibrating platform?
Standard 25 kg powder supplier boxes and smaller fluid containers. The versatile platform accepts different box sizes without swapping hardware — useful when pulling from different suppliers or running smaller trial batches.
What does DSO actually do?
DSO dynamically modulates the charge profile to reduce overcharge and back-ionization on complex parts. When you spray a Faraday cage geometry at full voltage, charged powder can repel itself out of the recess. DSO pushes more powder into those areas for uniform film. Especially useful for decorative coatings, easy-to-charge powders, and short distances.
What compressed air do I need?
Clean, dry, oil-free compressed air. Moisture clumps powder and ruins fluidization; oil contaminates the charged cloud and causes fisheyes. We recommend a refrigerated dryer + coalescing filter. CET can spec compressor and air prep alongside the Sprint 2 B.
Same PEM-X1 gun on both Sprint 2 B and H?
Yes — identical PEM-X1 (2322587) with 100kV cascade, three charging curves, and on-gun controls. Also compatible with nozzle extensions, CoronaStar, and flat/round/cross nozzles.
Does it work with my existing booth?
Yes. Self-contained mobile unit, works with any NFPA 33 compliant manual powder booth. The system provides gun, controller, and powder feed; the booth provides recovery, airflow, and enclosure. CET can pair with a GFS booth for turnkey install.
Sprint 2 vs older Sprint models?
Sprint 2 succeeds Sprint X / Sprint EPG. Key upgrades: WACON Sprint 2 XE control (larger recipe memory, DSO), PEM-X1 gun (lighter, on-gun controls, replaceable wedge), and Quick-Link injector (one-hand hose release, tool-free access). If you’re on an older Sprint, CET can run a maintenance-cost-vs-upgrade analysis.
ACCESSORIES & UPGRADES
Compatible Accessories for the Sprint 2 B
The PEM-X1 gun and WACON control unit support a wide range of application accessories.

| CoronaStar | Electrode accessory that reduces orange peel and improves surface smoothness. Plug-in install. |
| Alternate gun nozzles | Flat-jet, round-jet, and cross-slot nozzles for different patterns. |
| PXS collector & injector nozzle | Reduces hose diameter and air demand while producing finer powder clouds at full output. |
| Hi-Coat injector | Specialty injector for fine finish — wheels, small parts, thin-film applications. |
| Hose quick couplings | Matching couplings and adapters for different hose diameters. |
| Conversion to Sprint 2 H | Swap to hopper with hopper injector (2466080), hose set, and a 60L or 25L hopper. |
