Page 12: Using Pressure Pots With Turbine Systems
5 Using Pressure Pots with Turbine Systems There are many advantages to using pressure pots with a turbine system. Apollo Sprayers have made this very easy with our fluid feed systems, 4500 and 4550. Refer to the accessories section of this manual for more information on these and other products. -
Page 13: Testing Air Pressure In Pressure Pot
5.1 Testing Air Pressure In Pressure Pot It is necessary to test the air pressure in the pressure pot to make sure that it is appropriate for the viscosity of material being sprayed and the situation in which it is being sprayed. You don’t want the material coming out too quickly so that you get runs and sags, but you also don’t want it to come out too slowly so that you are spraying very slowly. -
