Operations
The Nitromax system needs to be setup correctly to maximize the operation and performance. Adjustment of temperature and pressure are critical for optimum benefits. Please follow the instructions below to setup your paint gun and heater for the type of liquids being applied.
NITROMAX
Reduce Pressure by 20%
Atomization with the single nitrogen gas does not require as much pressure as atomization with compressed air
Reduce Fluid Feed by 20%
The improved transfer efficiency of heated nitrogen can cause an “over flow” of paint on the substrate.
CLOSE FLUID CONTROL – THEN OPEN 2 ½ TURNS
Mix 20% less paint
The increased transfer efficiency of A + B will result in lower paint utilization. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU WILL HAVE LESS PAINT ON THE SUBSTRATE – THIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL BE WASTING LESS PAINT. (indicative in the drop in overspray)
HEATPRO
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
Press A/T button – press once to change the last digit, press twice to change second (middle) digit
Press UP or DOWN arrows until the desired temperature is reached
Press SET to save temperature.
NITROWELD
Temperature Adjustment – Airless Welder
The temperature adjustment on the left hand side of the machine operates with an on/off switch and incorporated temperature adjuster knob. Ensure that the airless welder is in the cradle when not in use.
Clockwise – Increase temp
Ant Clockwise – Decrease temp.
Temperature Adjustment – Hot N2 Welder
Clockwise – Increase temp
Anti Clockwise – decrease temp.
Adjust temperature as per the melting point of the material being welded.
Pre heat with compressed air if N2 tanks are used.
ALWAYS ALLOW HOT AIR WELDER TO COOL DOWN BEFORE SHUTTING OFF N2 OR COMPRESSED AIR.
Remember the following for an ideal weld:
Set correct Temperature
Hold rod at the correct Angle
Apply enough Pressure to gently allow the rod to fill into the substrate being welded.
