The Paint Circulating System Solution
ITW Automotive Finishing and ITW Ransburg's Piggable System provides a valuable solution for paint delivery. It eliminates the need for a dedicated pump per color and costly line flushes, providing the most cost effective circulating system.
The Piggable System provides a quick system color change taking less than 10 minutes to drain, flush, and reload the second color. Piggable Systems also effectively reclaim over 98% of paint in fluid lines, minimizing costs related to material loss.
The Piggable System consists of the Modular Piggable Color Changer, Exel Flushable Piston Pump, and Active/Flushable Surge Eliminator. The Modular Piggable Color Changer allows micro valve replacement without depressurizing circulating lines, and it can run over one million cycles before service is required. The Exel Pump has a forced solvent flush capability for quicker color changes and requires low air consumption for minimal energy costs. The Surge Eliminator has a self-compensating design, which eliminates the need for manual charging with compressed air.
