94 SEPTEMBER 2015 COATINGSPROMAG.COM Tech Tricks By Jerr y Pollard, Plural Component Equipment Specialist for Intech Equipment and Supply From Strained to Smooth W hen using plural component spray equipment for coatings jobs, there's one part that may cause you some headaches: strainers. Luckily, there are some tricks to help you avoid strain- er-related hiccups on the job. First, consider using a larger strainer on the inlet of the metering pumps. A 3" (19.1 mm) basket strainer is recom- mended. Due to the larger surface area of the strainer, this w ill help you reduce the frequency that your strainer needs to be cleaned. Second, consider installing a differential pressure indicator. T he indicator w ill alert the user (usually w ith a clear dome that turns red) when the strainer becomes dirty and needs to be ser viced. Using these two tips should help keep your machines working smoothly and keep you and your crew less strained!
