.A LIGHTWEIGHT self-contained I-1 spraying equipment, operating under low pressure, is a recent addition to the products of the Crystal Manufacturing Co., Ltd., 145, Crystal Palace Road, East Dulwich, London, S.E.22. The equipment includes an electric blower-fan unit, Crystal patent spray gun, hose coupling, spare paint container and a set of masks, the whole being contained in a compact box.
The equipment can be operated without removing the blower unit from the box, the necessary outlets being provided so that the couplings can be made without disturbing the contents. At the same time the blower, which is light in weight, can, if required, be slung on the operator's shoulders by means of a strap. A feature of the gun is that the paint from the container is atomized at the nipple by three converging air streams. The only moving parts are the control trigger and the needle, and these are self-cleaning so that no parts, nozzles or sprays require changing between colours.
The width of the spray is variable from I in. to 12 ins, by means of the easily adjustable nozzle, and an important point is that, due to the low operating pressure only a / h.p. motor is required for the blower unit ; current consumption is, therefore, low.
The total weight of the equipment is under 31 lb., and it is claimed that 3 square yds. can be povered per
minute. The price of the outfit is £15 15s.
