Painting systems for application of mono- and bi-component paints

Airspray solutions for anticorrosive protection in the shipbuilding industry 

The NXT Xtreme pump is painting equipment using the NXT high pressure air operated technology. It is more performing than others, faster and easy to use. Due to its durability and quality NXT Xtreme resists longer and better in time.

It is the ideal sprayer for any type of application needed when willing to insure excessive anticorrosion protection. It can be used with any type of paint, the engine is more silent and the equipment allows a better control from the operator’s point of view. With the help of the DataTrak system, the pump is permanently monitored, so the operating times and the maintenance costs are kept under control. 

Furthermore, its upgraded design makes it resistant in extreme using conditions as well. That is the reason why it has a longer lifetime than other alternative solutions.

In case of using plural component coatings while the atomization is hand-made there is no guarantee of the final work and therefore of the quality of the anticorrosive protection itself. That is the reason why it is recommended to consider using automatic mixing solutions as they are able to mechanically and/or electronically control the percentage of each component in part and to deliver the best mix. 

Plural component painting systems insure a high level of anticorrosive protection

The XP70 system from GRACO is able to mix and atomize paintings with high degree of viscosity insuring their perfect application.

The system processes especially paint which contains a relevant portion of solid substance, the epoxy ones, polyurethane ones, and those needing preheating before application.

XP70 is a SMART alternative to hand-made mixing and to the preheating process, where needed. It helps in keeping under control the material waste and therefore the costs of the painting operation.

The pump mixes exclusively the quantity of paint needed for a particular application. Furthermore XP70 generates savings with the solvent material. Instead of throwing away the entire quantity of mixed paint remained in the pump after each application, one has to eliminate exclusively the rests from the static mixer and from the hose.

XP70 was designed to generate a pressure of 500 bars, so that the application of paints with a high degree of viscosity can be organized also in case of using very long hoses. 

The system is recommended especially for processing wind mills, tanks, water pipelines, bridges, ships, metal structures and for operating in railway industry.
