Overview
Double wall hoppers (D) can be mounted on the back or
side of the frame (A) to gravity feed spray material to the
Xtreme lower (B). Feed pumps (H) and agitators (J) can
be mounted on top of the hoppers to pressure feed
spray material directly to the pump.
A strainer inside the hopper (D) prevents objects larger
than 1/4 in. from clogging or damaging pumps. When
the XM sprayer is running, spray material exits the hop-
per through the fluid inlet assembly or transfer pump and
circulates through the lowers (B), mix manifold, fluid
heaters (M), and returns to the hopper (D) through the
recirculation hose (P). Immersion heaters (L) installed
through the sides of the hopper help to maintain the
temperature of the spray material during recirculation.
Oil or a 50% water and 50% ethylene glycol mixture can
be added to the hopper’s outer cavity to a controlled
temperature and help maintain the temperature of the
spray material. The heated fluid in the outer jacketed
area helps prevent heat loss of the spray material.
A 50% mixture of water and ethylene glycol mixture
heats up faster than typical hydraulic oil. See F
IG. 2.
XM sprayers are not approved for use in hazardous
locations unless the base model, all accessories, all
kits, and all wiring meet local, state, and national
codes.
NOTICE
Use the Hopper or Hose Heat Circulation Kit 256273
to heat the hopper outer cavity fluid or special fluid
hoses in hazardous environments. See manual
313259 for installation and repair parts.
