Binks 183S-231 2-Gallon ASME Pressure Tank

The Binks 183S-231 is a 2-gallon ASME pressure feed tank designed for supplying material at a constant preset pressure up to a maximum of 110 psi. This model is constructed from stainless steel for superior chemical resistance, making it suitable for waterborne coatings. It features extra sensitive regulation for extremely accurate, low-pressure fluid control, and includes direct drive agitation for efficient mixing of materials. The tank is built to ASME specifications.

Why choose the Binks 183S-231 Pressure Tank?

The Binks 183S-231 is an excellent choice for applications requiring highly precise fluid pressure control, especially when working with waterborne or chemically aggressive coatings, and when agitation is needed for low to medium viscosity materials. Its stainless steel construction provides the best corrosion resistance, making it durable for a wide range of materials. The extra sensitive regulation offers extremely accurate, low-pressure fluid pressure control. The direct drive agitation is suitable for low to medium viscosity materials that require mixing and/or solids suspension, ensuring material consistency.

Specific Use Cases:

• Waterborne Coatings: Its stainless steel construction makes it ideal for waterborne materials and other chemically aggressive coatings where corrosion resistance is paramount.
• Low to Medium Viscosity Materials: Direct drive agitation efficiently mixes materials that require regular stirring or have solids that tend to settle.
• Applications Requiring Precise Low Fluid Pressure Control: The extra sensitive regulation provides highly accurate control for demanding applications.
• Industrial Production: Provides a constant, precisely regulated material supply for consistent application in various finishing operations.

Binks pressure feed containers are used to allow the coating material to be prepared, thinned and conditioned, constantly agitated (if required) and then supplied in bulk to consistently maintain the correct spraying viscosity and pressure.

The Binks range is equipped with easy to operate air regulators (to set the desired fluid outlet pressure), safety pressure relief valves and manual, rotary or oscillating agitation types are available to provide the best quality agitation.

Binks Pressure Feed Containers are constructed from the highest-grade materials and fully comply with global pressure regulations including PED, ATEX and ASME.

Galvanized Pressure Tanks

Galvanized steel tanks are primarily used with non-corrosive materials. Constructed with a heavy pressed steel lid and forged steel clamps, galvanized tanks are equipped with top outlet and bottom outlet plug, which can be adapted for bottom outlet. The bottom outlet is recommended for heavy, viscous materials such as emulsified asphalts, cutback asphalts, rubber compounds, etc.

Stainless Steel Pressure Tanks

Stainless Steel Pressure Tanks are suitable for virtually all fluids and solvents. They are ASME certified and permanently labeled for 110 PSIG maximum working pressure. Tanks and lids are constructed of heavy gauge 304 stainless steel and are also electro polished. All models are equipped with top outlet and bottom outlet plug, which can be adapted for bottom outlet. Additionally, these tanks are fitted with 100% stainless steel non-corrosive and non-corroding wetted parts.
