Binks has introduced a new airless gun, the “Airless 75 Spray Gun” for a maximum pressure of 7500 PSI.  Unique needle design and packing are the special features of this gun, i.e. the needle is kept out of the fluid’s path, and the packing is adjustable for longer life.

Two fluid inlet options are available:

1)      The  gun has an external stainless steel fluid tube (Part No. 0811-7500-1) with an optional heat guard that allows the use of heated coatings up to 175°F (79°C).

2)      At the Binks Airless 75 Direct Connect model (Part No. 0811-7500-2) the fluid hose is attached directly to the gun.

Due to the thick-walled stainless steel fluid tube and fluid passages made of tungsten carbide, this gun is compatible with almost any coating, from stain to zinc, including high solids and abrasive industrial materials.  The gun has also a stress reducing ergonomic handle and a two finger trigger.  This combination gives the operator more control, and better leverage of the spray gun.

Since the introduction of the first cold water paint spray system in the year 1892, the company Binks has continuously introduced new products and services in the field of spray coating, from HVLP spray guns and airless spray systems to the latest pump technologies (incl. diaphragm pumps and horizontal piston pumps).  The company has always put a special focus on customer service, and the website (www.binks.com) is an important part of it containing information on new product developments, service instructions, operator manuals and also a “Tip of the week” category. This popular category contains tips and information on topics such as:

What is the difference between Conventional, HVLP, Turbine HVLP and Trans-Tech (LVMP) technologies?

How do I get the pump to prime, especially first thing in the morning after it’s been sitting all night?

What size air hose should I use for my spray gun?

What is the minimum velocity of paint in a circulating system?

What is the difference between a valve and a regulator?

What causes excessive pressure drop on the main line gauge of the filter/regulator?

What are my options for mixing two component materials?

How does heat relate to viscosity in a coating?

The new Binks Raptor “LITE” Air Assisted Airless spray outfit is mounted on a Tripod and specially designed and priced as a market “market entry” outfit. All the wetted parts of the MX high pressure pump, which comes with a 5 year pump warranty, are made of stainless steel. The special patented magnetic detents provide very smooth pump operation with no pulse in order to produce the best possible surge-free paint delivery. The outfit includes the latest Binks AA4400M AAA (Air Assisted Airless) spray gun and AA10 HVLP air cap. The gun also features an easy to remove “in-line” needle assembly and edge type gun filter for quick maintenance. Please contact us for further information and prices: info@bsc-teknik.com

One of the main features of the Binks Gelmaster unit model 105-1138 is the externally mixed catalyst, i.e. catalyst is delivered by and trough the atomisation air and is

then intimately mixed with the resin leading to a clear and air free sprayed gel coat film. The advantages are that no flushing is necessary and that the external catalyst delivery is clearly visible to the operator. This model is very suitable for multi-coloured operation as a quick colour change is possible. The unit includes spray gun, 20 litre pressure tank, air filtration, extractor and control components.

Two things can make boat hull and parts production a real headache: a gel coating operation which is constantly plagued by porosity and small air bubbles due to poor mixture control. And secondly, the gel coating equipment is unreliable and production often interrupted. Yacht builder Regal relies on the spray coating equipment of Binks to avoid such problems.

Reduced Energy and Material Consumption in Compressed Air Installations

The Air Matic system of company ENSUTEC Products GmbH (Germany) is a newly developed and patented technology for compressed air installations that leads to energy savings, improved material efficiency and less overspray. It can be easily integrated into existing facilities such as paint shops or spray booth.

The Process: Cleaning – Ionizing – Heating

The Air Matic process includes the cleaning, ionizing and heating of the compressed air. The employment of 2-3 filter elements leads to clean compressed air that meets highest air purity standards (e.g. ISO 8573-1, category 1), and even surpasses strict standards when it comes to oil vapour- and oil dust filtering.

Spray booth with Air Matic technology

The high-purity compressed air can be variable adjusted to the optimal temperature in a range of 0-140° Celsius. The elevated temperature, in connection with the static discharged air, relaxes the paint much better, allows finer atomization and improved transfer efficiency in spray coating applications such as wet painting (solvent based, water based), adhesive spraying (incl. hot wax), mould making and other manual and automated applications. The system works well in connection with conventional spray guns, HVLP guns, Air Mix-technology, flat-coaters and robot facilities.

Improved Quality – Less Overspray

The Air Matic system amortises very fast, mainly due to improved parts quality. The very fine atomization and high-purity of compressed air reduces possible reworks like grinding, polishing etc. Another advantage is overspray reduction: the gentle coating with higher transfer efficiency is able to save over 10% coating material. The advantages at a glance:

Quality: finer atomization, a more even, softer spray pattern

Air Matic 3000W with Cefla flat-coater

Energy: reduction of compressed air consumption (10-30%), reduction of atomization pressure, reduction of drying time

Material: less overspray and higher transfer efficiency leads to less material consumption (10-20%) and less thinner consumption (30-60%)

Technology: no formation of condensate, constant air temperature, no additional filter elements required.

The Air Matic system is compact, available in three different sizes (500W, 1500W and 3000W) and can be easily integrated into existing facilities. It is almost maintenance-free, only filters should be changed at given time. For more information contact us: info@bsc-teknik.com

The new Binks Maple 15/3 pump is a horizontal piston pump for pumping solvent/waterborne paints, solvents and other suitable materials. The unit combines an

energy efficient air motor with low shear fluid section technology from the range of Smart Electric Pumps. The Maple Pump achieves a reciprocating drive by using high technology ground steel spool and sleeve air valves to control the air motor reversal, providing reciprocating motion.

The patented air valve design ensures a positive magnetic detent for the main and pilot air valves thus removing the possibility for a stall condition. The air motor also utilises the patented Binks Low Ice quick exhaust technology to prevent air valve freezing conditions when high cycle speeds are employed. Equal thrust on each stroke due to the horizontal configuration incorporating the dual piston rod design gives a balanced fluid pressure output and reduces fluid pressure fluctuations to a minimum.

DeVilbiss Automotive Refinishing announced that Tekna ProLite is now fully available in the U.S. and Canada (EPA and SCAQMD approved). The spray gun is now available with three new air caps and new tip and can achieve very convincing finishing with the latest basecoats and clearcoats, including waterborne coatings.

The spray gun is fully coated both inside and out with the so-called QuickClean coating which has non-stick properties resulting in fast cleanup and high corrosion resistance. QuickClean coated guns are a must for waterborne and work very well with solvent-based coatings as well. Tekna ProLite spray gun is well-balanced and ergonomically designed for increased comfort and performance.

Bando’s line of extrusion pumps are designed to dispense single-component high viscous materials, such as sealants and adhesives, from pails and drums to

Air Powered Extrusion Pump

dispensing systems. Depending on the type of fluid and the specific application, pumps for 20 to 200 litres with pressure ratios of 24:1 to 58:1 are available. The air driven pumps come is single and dual post design and are suitable to convey materials with up to 100,000 centipoises (in case of less than 100,000 centipoises an inductor type pump can be employed). All pumps can be supplied with a stainless steel hydraulic device as an option.

The systems are suited for applications in a variety of industries, including automotive, building construction, agricultural, recreational vehicles, solar energy, trains and railway, appliance and household goods, marine, and building and earth-moving equipment.
