Binks 183S-221 2-Gallon ASME Pressure Tank - Stainless Steel, Direct Drive Agitator, 2 Regulators

The Binks 183S-221 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 304 stainless steel for superior chemical resistance, making it suitable for waterborne materials. It features double regulation for precise control of air to both the tank and the spray gun, and includes direct drive agitation for efficient mixing of low to medium viscosity materials. The tank is built to ASME specifications.

Why choose the Binks 183S-221 Pressure Tank?

The Binks 183S-221 is an excellent choice for applications requiring precise fluid and atomization air pressure control, especially when working with waterborne or chemically aggressive coatings. Its stainless steel construction provides the best corrosion resistance, making it durable for a wide range of materials. The double regulation system makes it ideal for materials best applied at low, closely controlled, fluid and atomization air pressures. The direct drive agitation efficiently mixes materials that require regular stirring or have solids that tend to settle.

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 Dual Air Control: Ideal for precision control of both fluid pressure in the tank and atomization air pressure at the spray gun.
• Industrial Production: Provides a constant, precisely regulated material supply for consistent application in various finishing operations.

• Binks A.S.M.E. code tanks meet OSHA regulations when using flammable and combustible materials 
• Constructed from heavy gauge steel with forged steel clamps
• Higher pressure rating for heavier materials
• Range offers complete material handling suitability for solvent and waterborne coatings
• Inner liners reduce cleaning time and save coating material

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.
