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:
- High conductivity materials like metallic coatings
- 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
