Prodigy™ transport technology is based upon the unique Nordson High Density powder Low Velocity air (HDLV™) mechanism where powder is metered to the gun using less air to propel it at a slower velocity. The Prodigy™ HDLV™ pump (right) consists of two chambers that operate independently. Each chamber alternately draws powder in and dispenses powder out of the pump. Crucially, unlike a venturi pump, no air is added to the powder mixture, with the powder suction being caused by a vacuum inside the pump.
The synchronized, precise, powder transport provided by a Prodigy™ HDLV™ pump removes the neccesity for venturis which wear over time, and subsequently cause variable, irregular output from the gun.
As it does not contain venturis, the Prodigy™ HDLV™ pumping mechanism ensures equal output to each gun consistently over time and eliminates variances on the product caused by unpredictable venturi wear.
