Spray Bars
The spray bar is a quick change design that is
attached to the threaded thru-shaft. Spray bars
are constructed of high quality stainless steel and
available in various sizes ranging from six inches
to thirty six inches. Aggressive and non-aggressive
spray patterns are available for all heads.
Spray bar selection is determined by requirements
of the removal application being performed. The
width of the spray bar selected is critical. It should
be sized to the width of the line or other material
being removed. In most situations, the spray bar
selected should be 2” wider than the width of the
line to reduce the potential for damage and in-
crease productivity by concentrating the blasting
pressure over the painted line.
When selecting a Spray bar the following
should be considered:
• The size of the line marking, the spray bar
should be 2” wider than the marking.
• The type of marking being removed. (Paint,
thermal or rubber)
• The thickness of the material being removed.
• The type of road surface. (Concrete or asphalt)
• Profile requirements per job specifications.
Hog Technologies offers a variety of spray bar
configurations to meet requirements of all types
of removal projects. Examples of available spray
bar configurations are included in the Operation
section of this manual. You can also contact our
customer support department for assistance in
selecting the correct spray bar and/or nozzle con-
figuration for your project at (877) HOG-ROAD.
