Congratulations on having selected the finest airless sprayer
available in the world. Titan/Speeflo piston pumps are tireless
workhorses - so tough they are virtually indestructible, even under
the most severe service. Titan/Speeflo designs and builds equip-
ment with superior quality and reliability. Equipment that will last for
years with minimal maintenance and downtime. This equipment will
make you money year after year. We thank you for your purchase
and welcome you to our large and growing family of Titan/Speeflo
users.
The unique ability of this PowrTwin 5500™ to operate with
either gas or electric power provides you with the flexibility to work
indoors or outside where no electricity is available.
Hydraulic drive makes possible the longest stroke and slowest
cycling pumps in the industry which translates into low mainte-
nance and longer life. Electric units operate quietly with no motor
starting and stopping.
The PowrTwin 5500™ is equipped with Titan/Speeflo's exclusive
and patented Severe Service 500
™
fluid pump. This technology will
give you significantly longer rod, cylinder, and packing life than any
other sprayer built in the world. This double ball piston pump
employs a dependable and durable time-tested design. All pumps
use an exclusive thick hard chrome plating on rod and cylinder
parts. This patented plating process is harder than nitralloy, stain-
less steel, or hard chrome used by any other paint pump manufac-
turer and much more abrasion resistant. Highly polished parts
reduce friction, extend packing life, and avoid damage from corro-
sion and abrasion. More than 75,000 of these pumps are in opera-
tion around the world.
PowrTwin 5500™ offers other cost saving features:
• Variable Pressure Control
• Choice of Power - Gas or Electric
• Tungsten Carbide Valve Seats
• Self-Adjusting Packings
• Exclusive Hand-Tight Swivel Foot Valve
• Large Capacity Inline Paint Filter
• "Floating Ball" Pressure Bleed Valve
• 5 Gallon Syphon Hose and Bleed Line Assemblies are
standard.
You have made an excellent choice. We know you will be
pleased with your new PowrTwin 5500™. Thanks again for select-
ing Titan/Speeflo. We appreciate your business.
