Precision Arc 4.8
High Production Twin Arc SprayPrecision Arc 4.8 Capabilities
The Precision Arc 4.8 utilizes our Arc Shorting Control technology. In the early 90s, this patented technology vaulted Thermion® to the forefront of High Production Arc Spray. It was the first Twin Wire Arc Spray System or metalizing system to reliably spray large diameter materials, to include 3/16" dia. pure zinc, 3/16" dia. aluminum, and their alloys, for field application of corrosion coatings. The PRECISION ARC 4.8 (Model 71000-4.8) is designed to spray at 650 amps, which results in a 42% increase in production.
Recommended Use for the Precision Arc 4.8
Thermion recommends that this type of Zinc & Aluminum Metalizing Spray Equipment should be used for large-scale onsite and field use requiring ultra-high production and portability. Low-energy, high-deposition metalizing equipment can be operated manually or automated. It uses 3/16" dia.; Aluminum, Zinc/ Aluminum (85/15), or Zinc.
Precision Arc 4.8 Materials Used
Whether you are metal spraying or rather metalizing zinc for onsite galvanizing or aluminum (TSA, Thermal Sprayed Aluminum), the Precision Arc 4.8 is the Metalizing workhorse you need in your arsenal of tools for a successful corrosion protective coating. This type of equipment is capable of spraying: Zinc, Zinc / Aluminum, or Aluminum.
Why Choose the Precision ARC 4.8?
The advantage of "Big Wire Metallizing" is extremely valuable especially when it comes to the field application of pure zinc, pure aluminum or 85/15 (zinc / aluminum alloy). Contractors have claimed that ,one machine spraying 3/16" diameter wire will accomplish more work than two machines spraying 1/8" diameter wire at the same energy level. This is where the term "Low Energy High Deposition" comes from. The Precision Arc is a High Deposition Process, whereas high deposit efficiency is achieved at high amperage levels. With the ability of the Precision Arc 4.8 to spray at 650 amps,/ you can deposit 58% more material per hour of production than a machine spraying 1/8" material at 400 amps. This relates to an increase from a deposition of 80 pounds per hour to 190 pounds per hour. "Clearly the highest production metalizing (arc spray) machine on the market!"
Common Applications for the Precision Arc 4.8
The earlier model of this system was developed for spraying bridges. Typically, the bridge model would spray at 400-450 amps. Whether it is TSA (thermal sprayed aluminum) or TSZ (thermal sprayed zinc) the large scale metalizing projects which are being done for the corrosion market have been increasing each year because of Thermion® unique technology. The major growth industries for metalizing include:
- Oil and Gas (Refineries and off-shore structures)
- Wind towers
- Municipal water towers
- Military (Army Corps of Engineer Applications)
- US Waterways
- Bridges
