Description
Binks 183S-243 2 Gallon ASME Pressure Tank, Galvanized, Gear Reduced Agitator, 2 High Precision Regulators
The Binks 183S-243 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 with gun regulation for extremely accurate, low-pressure fluid control and precision control of the spray gun's atomizing air. Furthermore, it includes heavy-duty, gear-reduced agitation for efficient mixing of medium to high viscosity materials.
Why choose the Binks 183S-243 Pressure Tank?
The Binks 183S-243 is an exceptional choice for demanding applications that require the highest level of precision in fluid delivery and atomization, 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 extra sensitive regulation with gun regulation offers unparalleled control over both tank pressure and atomizing air, allowing for the finest application of coatings. The heavy-duty, gear-reduced agitation ensures thorough and consistent mixing of even the most viscous materials, preventing settling and maintaining material integrity.
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.
- High Viscosity Materials: The gear-reduced drive agitation is specifically designed for medium to high viscosity materials that require robust mixing and/or solids suspension.
- Fine Finish Applications: The extra sensitive regulation with gun regulation provides extremely accurate, low-pressure fluid control and precision atomizing air control for the finest finishes.
- Abrasive Materials: While not explicitly stated for this specific model, stainless steel wetted parts generally offer better resistance to abrasive materials.
- Industrial Production: Provides a constant, precisely regulated material supply for consistent application in high-end finishing operations.
