Xtreme Sprayers with NXT Technology are air-operated yet airless sprayers built to handle the toughest single-component, protective coatings and corrosion-control materials. The design is often used to apply the zinc primer to wind towers.
Protective coatings are essential to save wind towers from corrosive atmospheric effects. At least three Industrial sprayers from Graco, Minneapolis, Minn., are used in paint booths at wind-tower manufacturers to apply protective coatings to interiors and exteriors of wind-tower sections. For example, the company’s Xtreme Sprayers with NXT Technology are air-operated yet airless sprayers built to handle the toughest single-component, protective coatings and corrosion-control materials. The design is often used to apply the zinc primer to wind towers. NXT air motors offer proven durability and are available with a monitor that tracks and records volumetric flow and material use.
Xtreme Mix Plural-Component Sprayers combine two-component coatings in a manifold close to the airless spray gun, thereby eliminating pot-life issues and cutting material costs. The design lets users switch between many ratios (1:1 to 10:1) with the turn of a key instead of mechanically reconfiguring the system. This portable, simple-to-use sprayer is often used to apply epoxy and urethane coatings to wind towers.
Lastly, XM Plural-Component Sprayers apply high solids plural-component coatings. The XM model provides precise ratio control, lets users download historical spraying data, and handles a wide range of two-component materials, including epoxies and urethanes. The configurable unit lets users start with a base model and then select accessories including material hoppers, hopper heaters, transfer pumps, agitators, hose rack kits and casters.
