| High-end pressure washers with phosphatizing systems Daimer Industries introduced two stationary, tri-mode pressure washers with phosphatizing systems, which are used to pretreat metal surfaces prior to painting or coating. "Both the Super Max 15200AF and 15400AF can operate as standard pressure washers or as phosphatizing systems to prevent rust or corrosion on surfaces prior to finishing," said Matthew Baratta, spokesperson for Daimer.com. "These electric-powered machines offer serious performance for our manufacturing and metal fabrication customers." Daimer's Super Max AF machines employ downstream injection systems that apply cleaning chemicals at low pressure and then rinse with water at a higher pressure. With downstream injection the chemicals contact only the injector, high-pressure hose, trigger gun, wand and nozzle - all components that are easy to protect against corrosion. These phosphatizing systems include: • A stainless-steel downstream injector with chemical proportioning adjustment. • Stainless steel fittings and parts from the injector to the nozzles. • A stainless-steel, dual-lance wand with crossover valve. The wand has one trigger gun and two side-by-side tubes that form the lance. The outlet of one tube has a high-pressure nozzle and the other a low-pressure nozzle. By opening and closing a crossover valve the water flow is directed through either the high-pressure nozzle or the low-pressure nozzle. • A clear plastic siphon pickup tube with a foot screen exiting the front of the machine to draw chemical directly from a bucket or drum. • An on/off panel valve for chemical pickup. The 15200AF and 15400AF pressure washers boast tri-mode technology, which allows the equipment to provide wet steam, hot water and cold water cleaning depending on the situation. These oil-, diesel- or kerosene-heated units provide hot water temperatures of 180º F to 220º F and steam temperatures as high as 330º F. The machines feature heavy duty schedule 80 heating coil for increased durability. Options available at additional cost include: multi-gun operation, adjustable pressures and a wet-sandblasting system. The 15200AF pressure washers offer pressure levels of up to 1000 psi and flow rates of up to 2 GPM. The 15400AF machines offer slightly lower pressure levels of 700 psi and higher flow rates of up to 3 GPM. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
