In modern industries, surface preparation and cleaning require precision, durability, and efficiency. Pilot India, a trusted name in spray guns and service equipment, offers a wide range of service guns designed to cater to diverse applications — from air blow guns to specialized artist guns and pen guns. These tools are engineered with state-of-the-art technology and rapid upgradation to meet the evolving needs of sectors such as automotive, foundries, plastic molding, and more.

In this blog, we explore the variety of service guns available, highlighting their unique features, technical specifications, and ideal areas of application.

What Are Service Guns?

Service guns are specialized tools designed for spraying, cleaning, coating, and other surface preparation tasks. Depending on the application, service guns differ in design and function — such as air blow guns for cleaning, foam guns for surface cleaning with minimal water wastage, oil guns for precise atomization, sandblasting guns for surface refinishing, and underbody coating guns for protective applications.

Among these, artist guns and pen guns are key variants that offer precision and control, especially useful for detailed tasks requiring fine spraying and agile handling.
