Overview
Double wall hoppers (D) can be mounted on the back or
side of the frame (A) to gravity feed spray material to the
Xtreme lower (B). Feed pumps (H) and agitators (J) can
be mounted on top of the hoppers to pressure feed
spray material directly to the pump.
A strainer inside the hopper (D) prevents objects larger
than 1/4 in. from clogging or damaging pumps. When
the XM sprayer is running, spray material exits the hop-
per through the fluid inlet assembly or transfer pump and
circulates through the lowers (B), mix manifold, fluid
heaters (M), and returns to the hopper (D) through the
recirculation hose (P). Immersion heaters (L) installed
through the sides of the hopper help to maintain the
temperature of the spray material during recirculation.
NOTE:
The immersion heater (L) is only approved for
non-explosive atmosphere applications.

Oil or a 50% water and 50% ethylene glycol mixture can
be added to the hopper's outer cavity to condition tem-
perature and help maintain the temperature of the spray
material. The heated fluid in the outer jacketed area
helps prevent heat loss of the spray material.
Due to the specific heat of water, the water and ethylene
glycol mixture heats and cools faster than typical
hydraulic oil. See F
Use the Hopper or Hose Heat Circulation Kit 256273
to heat hopper material and fluid hoses in hazardous
environments. See manual 313259 for installation
and repair parts.
