 Solvent Free, Epoxy Intumescent, Plural Component, Heated Airless Spray Systems
The CoverCat 351 is our most popular system in the fireproofing range. It has become the industry standard for application of PFP materials, and is recommended as preferred equipment by many contractors and paint companies worldwide.
The system comprises of two ram mounted inductor shovel pumps for loading of the material into the pressure tanks. These are automatically controlled by level sensors in the tanks.
These tanks are heated and agitated to maintain material temperature whilst in the system. The main heat source is from three high pressure fluid heaters of 2.3kW each. These heaters have digital temperature control to accurately maintain the desired temperature. The heaters will automatically turn off if the metering pump stops running. The material is circulated through the system until spraying temperatures are achieved.
The system incorporates a high pressure safety mechanism, which will shutdown the pump if over pressure occurs. In addition to this, mechanical relief valves will dispense material should the pressure continue to rise. Emergency stop functions are also incorporated into this system.
A centralised control panel allow access to all electrical functions from one location, whilst pneumatic controls are mounted on the respective pumps.
The CoverCat metering pump accurately meters the two components to a pre-set ratio by volume. No mixing takes place in this part of the system. The 451 system uses a ø450 air motor, and the 351 system uses a ø350 air motor.
An integral hot water system is used on these systems to maintain temperature in the hose bundle. Water is heated and stored in insulated stainless steel tanks, and is circulated though water hoses inside the bundle. A flushing station also uses hot water stored in these insulated tanks, for flushing of the mixed material from the whip hose.
The metered material can be either recalculated back into the respective tanks, or pumped through the hose bundle ready for mixing and spraying. Once the material has reached temperature, it is pumped to the mix block through the hose bundle. The mix block has material take off valves for performing a metering check. Flushing points are located on this block for flushing the whip hose and gun once spraying has been completed.
We ensure long life by using nitride hardened and hard chromed wear parts, with all teflon packings for maximum chemical resistance.These systems are available as flameproof or Hazardous Area EEx versions.
We stock a number of these units which are available for hire worldwide, complete with support engineer if required. Special rates for long term hire are available.
