2. General view of application
2.1 Application
This airless line striper is a precision power tool used to
spray many types of material for many types of applications
including parking lots, curbs, and athletic fields. Read and
follow this instruction manual carefully for proper operating
instructions, maintenance, and safety information.
2.2 Coating materials
Processible coating materials
i
Pay attention to the Airless quality of the
coating materials to be processed.
Latex paint, dispersion paints, fire protection and thick film
materials, zinc dust and micaceous iron ore paints, Airless
spray primer, sprayable glue, anti-corrosive agents, thick
coating materials and bitumen-like coating materials.
No other materials should be used for spraying without Titan’s
approval.
Filtering
In spite of the high-pressure filter, filtering of the coating
material is recommended in general.
Mix coating material before commencement of work.
i
Make sure when stirring with motor-driven
agitators that no air bubbles are stirred in. Air
bubbles disturb when spraying and can, in fact,
lead to interruption of operation.
Viscosity
It is possible to work with high-viscosity coating materials with
the devices.
If highly viscous coating materials cannot be sucked up,
they must be diluted in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instruction.
Two-component coating material
The appropriate processing time must be adhered to exactly.
A minimum of 45 minute set time is recommended. Within
this time rinse through and clean the unit meticulously with
the appropriate cleaning agents.
Coating materials with sharp-edged additional materials
These have a strong wear and tear effect on valves, high-
pressure hose, spray gun and tip. The durability of these parts
can be reduced appreciably through this.
3. Description of unit
3.1 Airless process
The main area of application are thick layers of highly viscous
coating material for large areas and a high consumption of
material.
A piston pump takes in the coating material by suction and
conveys it to the tip. Pressed through the tip at a pressure of
up to a maximum of 172 bar (17.2 MPa), the coating material
is atomized. This high pressure has the effect of micro fine
atomisation of the coating material.
As no air is used in this process, it is described as an AIRLESS
process.
This method of spraying has the advantages of finest
atomisation, cloudless operation and a smooth, bubble-free
surface. As well as these, the advantages of the speed of work
and convenience must be mentioned.
3.2 Functioning of the unit
The following section contains a brief description of the
technical construction for better understanding of the
function.
Titan PowrLiner 550 (PL) are high-pressure spraying units
driven by a gasoline engine.
The gasoline engine (fig. 1, item 1) drives the pump assembly
(2) which moves the piston up and down inside the fluid
section (3).
The inlet valve is opened automatically by the upwards
movement of the piston. The outlet valve is opened when the
piston moves downward.
The coating material flows under high pressure through
the high-pressure hose to the spray gun. When the coating
material exits from the tip it atomizes.
