WAGNER · POWDER COATING SYSTEM · EXPERT SERIES
Sprint 2 Expert B W
Box Feed Manual Powder Coating System
The Wagner Sprint 2 Expert is the premium tier of the Sprint 2 platform. It replaces the WACON Sprint 2 XE rotary-knob controller with the WACON Sprint 2 Expert — a 7-inch touchscreen control unit with the WAGNER Wizard digital coating assistant, built-in powder scale for consumption monitoring, process documentation with USB export, user management, and optional EtherCAT and COATIFY cloud connectivity. Same PEM-X1 gun, same Quick-Link injector, but with intelligent assistance that makes any operator an expert.

OVERVIEW
The Master Solution for Manual Powder Coating
The Sprint 2 Expert B W is Wagner’s premium box-feed manual powder coating system, released in early 2025 as the top tier of the Sprint 2 product family. The “Expert” designation means it ships with the WACON Sprint 2 Expert control unit — a 7-inch touchscreen with the WAGNER Wizard coating assistant, integrated powder scale, process logging with USB export, user management, and optional connections to EtherCAT, robotics, and the COATIFY cloud platform. The “B” means box feed, and the “W” means it includes the integrated powder scale (weight cell) under the base plate.
Everything else that makes the Sprint 2 great is still here: the same PEM-X1 manual gun with 100kV high-performance cascade and on-gun controls, the same Quick-Link injector for one-hand color changes, the same swivel arm with scraper ring, the same vibrating table, and the same AFC closed-loop air control. The Expert just adds a smarter brain on top.
If your shop needs faster operator training, consumption tracking, process documentation, or the ability to connect the spray station to a larger automation or cloud infrastructure, the Expert is the configuration to spec. If you just need a solid production-ready box-feed system with rotary-knob simplicity, the standard Sprint 2 B is the right call.
EXPERT-EXCLUSIVE FEATURES
What the Expert Adds Over the Standard Sprint 2
WAGNER WIZARD
Digital Coating Assistant
In 5 steps — workpiece geometry, size, coating structure, desired thickness, and powder type — the Wizard calculates the ideal recipe and recommends the right nozzle, extension, and gun distance. Even an inexperienced operator can produce expert-quality results on the first attempt.
7″ TOUCHSCREEN
Intuitive Menu Navigation
Full touchscreen replaces the rotary knob of the standard Sprint 2. Recipe management, error history, operating hours, maintenance counters, and user management are all accessible from the screen. No more scrolling through recipes on a dial.
POWDER SCALE
Consumption Monitoring
Integrated scale under the base plate tracks powder weight in real time. Automatically logs measuring points with the active user, selected recipe, and coating period. You can finally answer: “Who coated what, when, and how much powder did it take?”
PROCESS DOCUMENTATION
USB Export & Cloud Ready
All process data exports as production or service logbooks via USB. Optional interfaces connect to EtherCAT, robotic systems, or the COATIFY information and management platform for enterprise-level traceability.
AIRCLEAN KIT (OPTIONAL)
Color Change in Under 30 Seconds
The optional Airclean kit (Part# 2477212) mounts to the cart and automates internal hose and gun cleaning with compressed air. The Airclean Remote (Part# 2481516) lets the operator trigger cleaning from a magnetic-mount remote anywhere in the booth. Expert-exclusive — not available on the standard Sprint 2.
HEAD MODULE
Multifunctional Storage & Dual-Gun Ready
Standardized perforated-plate head module with dust-protected compartments and hooks for tools, nozzles, and accessories. Pre-drilled for a second control unit, making it easy to upgrade to a dual-gun system (Part# 2474941).
SPRINT 2 vs SPRINT 2 EXPERT
Which Sprint 2 Tier Is Right for Your Operation?
Both systems share the same PEM-X1 gun, Quick-Link injector, AFC closed-loop air control, DSO function, and vibrating table/cart platform. The Expert adds the Wizard, touchscreen, powder scale, process documentation, Airclean compatibility, the multifunctional head module, and optional bus interfaces.

CET APPLICATION MATCH
When Does the Expert Make Sense Over the Standard Sprint 2?
Based on over 60 years supplying industrial finishing equipment, CET’s technical team specifies the Sprint 2 Expert for shops with at least one of these requirements: operator training challenges (the Wizard dramatically shortens the learning curve), traceability or process documentation requirements (powder scale + USB export + COATIFY), or plans to integrate the manual station into a larger automated or networked production environment (EtherCAT, connection box). If you don’t need any of those, the standard Sprint 2 B or Sprint 2 H gives you the same coating performance at a lower price point.
Who Runs the Sprint 2 Expert Daily
| Typical users | High-Mix / High-VolumeOEM / Tier 1ISO / IATF CertifiedDecorative LinesMulti-Shift w/ Turnover |
| Why Expert vs Standard | Faster training via Wizard, consumption tracking per job/user/recipe, process traceability for quality audits, networked production visibility, automated internal cleaning for faster color changes. |
| Booth setup | Manual powder booth with recovery. Works with any NFPA 33 compliant booth. Rolls into position like the standard Sprint 2 B. CET can pair with a GFS booth for turnkey install. |
| Compressed air | Clean, dry, oil-free air required. If adding Airclean kit, factor the automated cleaning cycle into your air budget. |
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Sprint 2 Expert Common Questions
What exactly does the WAGNER Wizard do?
The Wizard is a 5-step guided recipe builder on the touchscreen. You select your workpiece geometry (flat, tube, profile, small parts, mesh, grid, deep coating, wheel), the workpiece size (S/M/L), the desired coating structure, the target thickness, and the powder type. The Wizard then calculates the ideal recipe parameters and recommends the best nozzle type, nozzle extension length, and gun distance. It eliminates the trial-and-error that normally takes months to learn.
How does the powder scale work?
A precision scale is built into the base plate under the powder box. It continuously displays the weight and automatically logs measuring points in a logbook tied to the active user account, the selected recipe, and the time period. At the end of a shift or a job, you can see exactly how much powder was consumed per recipe, per operator, per coating run. The data exports via USB for further analysis.
What is the Airclean kit and how fast does it make color changes?
The Airclean kit (Part# 2477212) is an Expert-exclusive option that automates the internal cleaning of the powder hose and gun using compressed air. Wagner rates it at under 30 seconds for a complete internal color change. The Airclean Remote (Part# 2481516) adds a wireless trigger with magnetic feet that the operator can position anywhere in the booth. Neither the Airclean kit nor Remote is available on the standard Sprint 2.
Can I convert the Expert B (box feed) to Expert H (hopper feed)?
Does the Expert use the same PEM-X1 gun and injector as the standard Sprint 2?
Yes — identical gun (2322587) and identical Quick-Link injector options. All nozzles, extensions, the CoronaStar accessory, and the PXS collector/injector nozzle upgrades are fully compatible. The Expert’s upgraded output spec (up to 480 g/min vs 420 g/min on the standard) reflects optimized injector nozzle geometries that come standard on the Expert platform.
What is COATIFY and do I need it?
COATIFY is Wagner’s cloud-based information and management platform. When connected via optional interfaces, it pulls process data from the Sprint 2 Expert for centralized monitoring, reporting, and analysis. It’s primarily relevant for multi-station operations, enterprise coating lines, or facilities with ISO/IATF traceability requirements. Most single-station shops can use the USB export instead. Contact CET if you want to understand whether COATIFY makes sense for your setup.
Is the Sprint 2 Expert compatible with my existing powder booth?
Yes. The Sprint 2 Expert is a self-contained mobile unit and works with any compliant manual powder coating booth with proper ventilation, grounding, and NFPA 33 compliance. If you need a new booth, CET can pair the Expert with a GFS or equivalent powder booth for turnkey install.
