2.7 Paint Tanks & Delivery System
Overview
Two paint tanks, white and yellow are standard
equipment. A black tank is an available option.
Each tank is pressurized with filtered and dried air
by the filtered air system. Typical tank pressure
is around 40 PSI (2.76 Bar).
Hydraulically powered mixers in each tank are run
while filling with paint and for 10 minutes prior
to starting work. All mixers should be turned off
during operations to give full flow to the other
hydraulic functions.
Paint is delivered under pressure to the spray guns
through tubing and hoses. Two in-line filters for
each delivery system remove contaminates in the
paint that could clog spray nozzles.
The following is a description of paint tank com-
ponents and their function.
1. Mixer Motor & Valve - Powers the mixer in
the paint tank. Motor speed is controlled by
the needle valve next to the motor.
2. Pressure Gauge - Displays paint tank pres-
sure. Tank pressure is set with regulator valves
in the rear control console.
3. Pressure Supply Valve - Delivers treated
pressurized air to paint tank. A regulator in the
rear control console controls tank pressure.
4. Pressure Relief Valve - An automatic valve
that prevents excessive pressure in the tank.
It should be checked periodically for proper
operation.
5. Exhaust Valve - Used to purge air pressure
from the tank. Always turn the valve off when
all pressure is relieved from the tank.
6. Exhaust Muffler - Quiets exhaust air flow
during purging to prevent excessive noise and
hearing damage.
7. Sight Cap - A threaded cap that can be
removed to check the paint level before op-
erations or to monitor the level while filling
the tank. Tank pressure must be completely
purged before removing this cap.
