Spray Tip Wear and
Containments:
Spray tips
are a wear item on the
pretreatment machine. It
is always a good idea to
have additional tips on
hand so you do not lose
production time while
waiting for a new tip to
arrive.
Tip wear will depend on
many factors including
pretreatment sprayed,
how often you spray, how
often you clean the tips
and how tips are handled.
See our Understanding the
Causes of Nozzle Wear
flyer for more information.
Good Spray Pattern:
Above is
what a good spray pattern
should look like. Slightly heavier
in the middle with a feathered
edge on both the left and right
side.
Bad Spray Pattern:
Above is a picture of the
spray pattern with some polymer stuck in the
tip. Bad spray patterns can vary widely. If your
spray pattern of a single nozzle does not look
like the Good Spray Pattern, it most likely is
either worn or has pretreatment built up on or
in the tip.
