As a mining equipment manufacturer, you know the importance of durable, high-quality coatings that can withstand harsh environments. At HMFT, we understand your challenges and are proud to offer cutting-edge solutions from Graco to tackle even the toughest coating applications.

The Challenge of High Conductivity and Waterborne Coatings

Mining equipment requires specialized coatings that can resist abrasion, corrosion, and extreme conditions. However, these coatings often present unique challenges during application:

  1. High conductivity materials like metallic coatings
  2. Waterborne formulations for reduced environmental impact

Traditional spray equipment can struggle with these materials, leading to poor finish quality, excessive overspray, and wasted material. That's where Graco's Pro Xp line of electrostatic spray guns comes in.

Pro Xp: Advanced Technology for Superior Results

The Graco Pro Xp electrostatic spray gun line is renowned for its high transfer efficiency when spraying standard, specialty, or waterborne coatings. Let's explore how these guns can revolutionize your coating process:

High Conductivity Solutions

For low-resistivity materials such as metallic coatings, Graco offers specialized high-conductivity models:

  • Pro Xp60 HC: This 60 kV model combines material savings and excellent finish quality in a compact, lightweight design.
  • Pro Xp85 HC: The 85 kV version provides even higher charging power for maximum transfer efficiency.

These guns feature:

  • Internal power supplies for reduced operator fatigue
  • Smart controls for performance analysis and voltage adjustment
  • Precision high-wear components for extended longevity

Waterborne Innovations

Graco's waterborne solutions offer flexibility and performance:

  • Pro Xp WBx: This externally charged gun eliminates the need for expensive isolation systems.
  • Pro Xp60 AA WB: An air-assisted airless option for fine finishes with waterborne materials.

Both models provide:

  • Excellent transfer efficiency for reduced material waste
  • Compatibility with isolation systems for even greater performance
  • Ease of use without the limitations of traditional waterborne setups

Benefits for Mining Equipment Manufacturers

By incorporating Graco Pro Xp guns into your finishing process, you can expect:

  1. Improved finish quality: Achieve consistent, high-quality coatings on complex mining equipment geometries.
  2. Reduced material consumption: High transfer efficiency means less wasted coating material.
  3. Increased productivity: Faster application times and reduced overspray lead to higher throughput.
  4. Enhanced durability: Precision application ensures optimal coating performance in harsh mining environments.
  5. Environmental compliance: Waterborne options help meet stringent environmental regulations.
