WAGNER · POWDER COATING SYSTEM
Sprint 2 H
Hopper Feed Manual Powder Coating System
The Wagner Sprint 2 H is a factory-authorized hopper-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. Designed for production shops running dedicated colors from a 60L or 25L stainless steel hopper, the Sprint 2 H delivers reproducible coating quality, fast color changes, and Air Flow Control (AFC) precision in a compact mobile cart platform.

OVERVIEW
Production-Grade Manual Powder Coating From a Dedicated Hopper
The Sprint 2 H is Wagner’s hopper-feed configuration of the Sprint 2 manual platform. Instead of drawing powder directly from a supplier’s original box, the Sprint 2 H pulls from a dedicated 60L or 25L stainless steel hopper mounted to the cart. This setup is preferred when a shop runs the same color for extended production cycles, needs cleaner powder handling, or wants a system that is easier to vacuum out and reclaim between color changes.
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 which detaches all powder and air hoses with a single coupling for fast cleaning and color changes.
The Sprint 2 H ships pre-assembled on a 2-wheel cart with gun holder, hose management, grounding cable, and US mains cable. The hopper is ordered separately — 60L (264268) or 25L (264224) — which lets you match capacity to your production run length.
KEY FEATURES
Built for Coating Consistency and Fast Color Changes
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. Injector and suction lance screw together as one unit, reducing cleaning interfaces and speeding up color changes.
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
2-Wheel Hopper Cart
Pre-assembled cart holds hopper, control unit, gun, and hose management in a compact footprint. Integrated gun holder and hose hooks keep the workstation organized.
CONFIGURATION CHOICE
Sprint 2 H (Hopper Feed) vs Sprint 2 B (Box 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 H (This Page) | Sprint 2 B → |
|---|---|---|
| Powder source | Dedicated 60L/25L stainless hopper w/ fluid bed | Original box on vibrating platform |
| Best for | Dedicated-color production, higher throughput, cleaner reclaim | Frequent color changes, short runs, job shops |
| Color change speed | Slower — hopper must be emptied & cleaned | Faster — swap box, clean injector, go |
| Fluidization | Porous fluid bed in hopper base | Vibrator motor agitates box |
| Vibrator included | No (hopper uses fluidization) | Yes — 115V/60Hz vibrator motor |

CET APPLICATION MATCH
Is the Sprint 2 H the Right Fit for Your Shop?
CET’s technical team specifies the Sprint 2 H for shops where a dedicated hopper makes more sense than box feeding — typically longer runs, higher throughput, or environments where powder cleanliness and reclaim quality matter. The Sprint 2 B makes more sense for constant color changes. Not sure? Call 586-210-0555.
Who Runs the Sprint 2 H Daily
| Typical users | Custom Metal FabArchitectural AluminumWheel RefinishingAppliance & OEMTier 2 Auto Suppliers |
| Production profile | Dedicated color for half-shift or full shift. Batch sizes that benefit from 25–60L of buffered powder rather than pulling from a 25 kg box. |
| Booth setup | Manual powder booth with recovery. Sprint 2 H 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 H. |

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Sprint 2 H Common Questions
Why isn’t the hopper included?
Wagner lets shops match capacity to production run. 25L (264224) for smaller runs, 60L (264268) for longer cycles. Both fit the same cart. Not sure? Call CET at 586-210-0555.
Can I convert to box feed later?
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. DSO pushes more powder into recesses for uniform film. Especially useful for decorative coatings, easy-to-charge powders, and short distances.
How fast is a color change on the hopper-feed Sprint 2?
Slower than box feed because the hopper must be emptied, vacuumed, and wiped. Quick-Link speeds pump-side cleaning — hoses detach with one coupling and the injector opens tool-free. A full hopper color change takes noticeably longer than a box swap, which is why the Sprint 2 B is preferred for frequent changes.
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. Refrigerated dryer + coalescing filter recommended. CET can spec compressor and air prep.
Same PEM-X1 gun on both Sprint 2 B and H?
Yes — identical PEM-X1 (2322587) with 100kV cascade, three charging curves, on-gun controls, and compatibility 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 (DSO, larger recipe memory), PEM-X1 gun (lighter, on-gun controls, replaceable wedge), and Quick-Link injector (one-hand hose release, tool-free access). CET can run a maintenance-cost-vs-upgrade analysis.
