3.1 INTRODUCTION
The Spraying Systems Co. AutoJet® VC10 Industrial Heated Spray System can be used at the heart of any spray
applicaon when temperature and pressure control is needed in a variety of viscous heated applicaons. The system
provides temperature control to heat any uid that must maintain a specic higher temperature for spraying. This
system conveniently pairs with many nozzle or spray header setups that are desired for your heated spray system
applicaons.
3.2 PRODUCT FEATURES
The AutoJet® VC10 Industrial Heated Spray System consists of a stainless steel pressure tank with a heater for constant
heang of your process uid. The desired temperature of your process uid is controlled by a liquid heater pump that
is constantly recirculang water through the heater. An agitator keeps the uid moving around the heater to ensure
consistent temperature and helps to maintain your uids in suspension. This system is also equipped with a manual
pressure control, auto-rell, and connuous level sensor for auto-rell.
The control panel for the system can be mounted to the frame with a 1750+ or 2150+ Spray Control Panel for easy
spray control access. Power is distributed to the pump and heater from the system control panel. The control panel
consists of an illuminated “Power On” and “Power o” power pushbuons, and various illuminated selector switches.
A lockout/disconnect switch is mounted on the door. A low-level indicator is illuminated when the tank is low.
Illuminated selector switches for “Pump On”, “Heater On”, and “Auto-Rell On” (oponal) are used to acvate said
features; lamps will be lit when features are running. The heater can be turned on only when the circulaon pump is
running.
