Equipment for processing body cavities and processing methods (Freelander 1)

• 1 - Air inlet
• 2 - Adjusting the spray pattern
• 3 - Tank (1 l capacity). Maximum pressure 9.7 bar (9.84 kg/cm²)
• 4 - Pistol nozzle
• 5 - Nozzle nipple
• 6 - Flexible tip
• 7 - Rigid tip with a nozzle having a narrow spray cone
• 8 - Flexible nylon hose with wide spray cone 360x
• 9 - Rigid tip (1100 mm) with wide spray cone 360x

When re-treating cavities whose coating was damaged during repair, it is necessary to use a gun powered by a compressor with a tank designed for high pressure and a set of various removable tips.

When selecting a tip to be installed on a gun, depending on the working conditions, the following must be taken into account:

• Use a rigid or flexible tip with a wide 360° spray cone to treat hidden cavities to ensure maximum surface area coverage.
• If access to the cavity is difficult (when the entrance is narrow or the cavity is small), use a curved tip with a more directed spray.
• Open surfaces of the bottom should be treated directly with a gun without tips, without interrupting the supply of liquid.

Flexible nylon tip 1100mm long
This tip is similar in design to the rigid tip, but allows better treatment of curved cavities or places with difficult access. Its main disadvantage is the lack of positioning accuracy inside a closed cavity.



Perform all treatment using the outer end of the tip. Pull the tip out of the cavity slowly to ensure sufficient surface treatment. Do not pull the tip out too quickly.

Make sure that the nylon hose of the tip does not touch the edges of the cavity inlet to avoid abrasion and prolong the life of the hose. Be careful that the spray stops before the tip nozzle exits the cavity inlet. To help this, paint the last 30 mm of the tip RED.

Curved end of flexible tip
The curved rigid end with a nozzle allows you to get a finely dispersed narrow conical stream, directed far forward and having good atomization characteristics. This combination allows you to treat short narrow cavities well, can be used for treating the inner panels of wheel arches and other similar places.

When working, position the flat surface of the tip end at 180 degrees to the direction of the jet from the nozzle. This will allow more precise direction of the jet when the nozzle is hidden in a cavity or in the opening of a cavity.

When general surface treatment, move the nozzle in an arc from side to side to ensure complete treatment.

Keep all surface treatment equipment clean. Clean all parts with white spirit immediately after finishing the coating.
