4. Setup
Follow these steps for initial setup of the spray machine:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
- Positioning: Place the machine on a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated area. The movable wheels facilitate positioning.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the machine to a 110V/60Hz power source. As no plug is included, it is recommended to connect the machine directly to your facility's circuit breaker box by a qualified electrician. Ensure the power supply can handle the 7.5KW heating system.
- Air Source Connection: Connect a compressed air source to the machine. The air source must provide a minimum of 0.8 MPa pressure and a flow rate of at least 1.0 m³/min.
- Material Hoses: Connect the material hoses to the machine's outlets and to the spray gun. Ensure all connections are tight and secure to prevent leaks.
- Material Loading: Load the two-component polyurethane or polyurea materials into their respective containers, following the material manufacturer's instructions for mixing and preparation.
- Spray Gun Assembly: Assemble the three-in-one spray gun if not already assembled. Ensure the steel friction pair is correctly seated and the air cleaning mechanism is functional.
5. Operating Instructions
Before starting, ensure all safety precautions are observed and the machine is properly set up.
- Power On: Turn on the main power switch on the control panel. The power indicator light should illuminate.
- Set Temperatures: Use the temperature control settings on the control panel to set the desired heating temperatures for both components (A and B) and the hose, according to the material manufacturer's specifications. The 7.5KW heating system will begin warming the materials. Monitor the real-time voltage and current displays.
- Activate Heating: Press the "Heating ON/OFF" button to activate the heating system. Allow sufficient time for materials to reach the set temperature.
- Start Pneumatic System: Ensure the air compressor is on and providing adequate pressure. Activate the pneumatic drive system.
- Test Spray: Before applying to the work surface, perform a test spray in a designated area to verify proper material mixing and spray pattern. Adjust pressure and temperature as needed. The raw output range is 4.4-26.5 lbs/min (2-12 kg/min), with a maximum output pressure of 11 Mpa and an A:B material output ratio of 1:1.
- Application: Begin spraying the desired surface, maintaining a consistent distance and speed for even coverage. The lightweight body of the spray gun facilitates handling.
- Continuous Air Cleaning: The spray gun features advanced continuous air cleaning to prevent clogs.
- Shut Down: After use, turn off the spray gun, then the pneumatic system, and finally the heating system. Disconnect the main power.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your spray machine.
- Cleaning the Spray Gun: After each use, thoroughly clean the spray gun according to the material manufacturer's recommendations. The steel friction pair design minimizes disassembly for cleaning.
- Hose Cleaning: Flush the material hoses with appropriate cleaning agents to prevent material hardening and blockages.
- Filter Inspection: Regularly inspect and clean or replace material filters to ensure smooth material flow and prevent clogging. The 4-layer feedstock device is designed to minimize clogging.
- Pneumatic System Check: Periodically check the air lines and connections for leaks or damage. Ensure the air source is free of moisture and contaminants.
- General Inspection: Inspect all visible components for wear, damage, or loose connections. Tighten fasteners as needed.
- Storage: Store the machine in a clean, dry environment, protected from extreme temperatures.
7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter during operation.
