“Lightweight, multi-functional sprayers are designed to make painting faster and easier for industrial and commercial painters. Heavier latexes, enamels, and acrylics, as well as thinner stains, lacquers, and urethanes, all can be sprayed using the same tool, simply by changing the front end assembly. Two-in-one tools like these save time, money, and material. This trend also applies to spray tips that offer both narrow and wide orifices to apply coatings quickly, without losing precision and efficiency.

Spray equipment is also becoming more compact and portable for difficult-to-access areas and tight spaces. Pumps, hoses, compressors, guns, and remote controls can all fit in a single assembly. Versatile units are capable of dispensing various materials such as fireproofers, waterproofers, and other materials, and are available in manual (crank) and electric versions. Quick change options allow easy conversion from cart- to skid-mount.

Portable and lightweight equipment for coating pipeline has also come out to make application faster and easier.*”

What this translates to is that you can now own a piece of equipment that is designed for the application of regular Architectural coatings as well as for specialized coatings, such as elastomerics and epoxies. The best of these now enable you to spray regular and special coatings without changing a thing. Examples of these pumps include the following:

Electric Pumps:

Airlessco TS 1500, Graco IronMan 300E, Titan/Speeflo PT 6900 DI electric & Titan PowerTex 1200SF

Gas Pumps:

Airlessco HSS9000, Airlessco HSS11000,  Graco IronMan 500G, Titan Advantage GPX 165, Titan Advantage GPX 220, Titan/Speeflo 6900 DI & Titan/Speeflo 12000DI
