Before using for the first time the machine will read the instructions carefully. The improper
uses eliminate any responsibility to VALVER AIR SPEED.
1. EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The MISTLAIR MANUAL EXTERNAL MIX EQUIPMENT is composed of two pumps.
The first pump is for resin and the type employed can be selected. The second pump for the
catalyser is a pressure tank.
A specially-prepared gun for combining and applying the two products. The two
products are always separated prior to their reaching the gun tip, where they are then mixed
by the air fan. This facilitates cleaning, as the equipment need not be cleaned at the end of
each task, and reduces solvent consumption considerably.

unused for long periods, place in a tightly sealed recipient with solvent. This will
impede the evaporation of the solvent and the catalyser outlets becoming blocked
by any remaining residue.
3. Clean the equipment each day with the cleaning solvent recommended by the
manufacturer and which we applied to the Resin pump (1) (dual membrane or
pressure tank) to avoid blockage from resin residue.
4. Clean the equipment each day with the cleaning solvent recommended by the
manufacturer and which we applied to the Catalyser pump (7) (pressure tank) to
avoid blockage from the catalyser.
5. Check the gun, anti-pulsation chamber or absorption filters between the 1st and the
2nd cleaning.
6. Grease the exchange valves in dual membrane units ONCE PER WEEK when the
equipment is in use.
Recomendaciones.
Clean the MISTLAIR MANUAL EXTERNAL MIX EQUIPMENT thoroughly after use. Proper
maintenance will extend the equipment’s useful life.
Clean the outside of the TRIMIX® mixture head (17) frequently when working and leave the
gun (15).
The gun should be left immersed in cleaning solvent when not in use. The solvent must not
touch the air valve, in order that the nozzle remain clean.
Always use the solvent recommended by the product’s manufacturer for cleaning the
equipment.
For EXTERNAL MIX EQUIPMENT spray equipment, change only used, dirty or old filters.

safety systems. If everything is as it should be after the service check, further service checks
are to be carried out every six months until the end of the guarantee period. After the
guarantee expires, the frequency of service checks will be agreed with the client.
The revisions to be carried out by the maintenance staff of the company responsible for
acquiring the MISTLAIR MANUAL EXTERNAL MIX EQUIPMENT (PNEUMATIC PISTON
PUMP) spray equipment are aimed at verifying the correct operation of the equipment and
the early detection of possible problems. We recommend that such revisions be carried out
at least once a week:
Periodic revisions undertaken during the guarantee period will be charged to the customer.
Periodic maintenance:
1. Preventive maintenance every 7 days:
Check air suplly unit.
Check air leakage of pneumatic circuit.
Check filters.
2. Preventive maintenance every 30 days:
Check purges and safety pneumatic valves.
If an abnormality is found during these preventive maintenance, take appropriate measures
to correct them.

VISCOSITY EVOLUTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH SOLVENT-BASED PAINTS TERMPERATURE
We recommend reducing resin viscosity in order to obtain optimum curing of both the
mixture and the final finish. The viscosity and the temperature can be reduced without
adding emission-increasing solvents to the mixture, thus ensuring compliance with the
applicable legislation.

If viscosity is 26 s at 18ºC, a drop of 10ºC will produce a viscosity of 34 s, while a rise to 40ºC will produce a
viscosity of 15 s.
