After my recent repost about the FRP system for applying polyester resins and gelcoats, I've asked about the functioning and benefits of External Mix technology. Fortunately, there's a video that perfectly demonstrates this. As you can see, the components of material are supplied into RS gun through separate lines (1) and (2). Then, compressed air (3) mixes with the catalyst (line 2), and after, the air and catalyst mixture (4) is injected from both sides into the base component spray fan (line 1). What makes the External Mix technology so good? Since the mixing occurs outside the sprayer, the mixed material cannot cure inside the equipment, even due to an operator error. This means you can avoid long and costly repairs, and the equipment does not require an additional solvent line for flushing. In the second part of the video, you can see functioning of the Air-Assist Containment (AAC) technology at work. The containment air forms a shield around the spray fan, preventing material droplets from flying around and significantly reducing room contamination. #ManufacturingOperations #ManufacturingIndustry #IndustrialEquipment #gelcoat #polyester #fiberglass #boatmanufacturing

Amazing Technology. It is taking FRP application to a new level.
