I know just what it is…I use one.
Matter of fact…go to my web site… http://www.americanstriping.com
Click onto the Videos page.
There is a (3) part video on a “Conventional” Line Striping Machine.
In part (3)…I fire it up and allow you to hear it…and…
…I have a “bleeder” gun attached.
Here’s what it is.
A compressor compresses air and sends it to (4) places.
One place is to the actual striping gun.
When I open a valve…the air is allowed to get all the way to the gun and actually flow right through it.
Let’s call this a stream of flowing air…ok…ok…
…let’s all act like the striping gun is actually “bleeding” air…or air is “bleeding” through the gun.
All I have to do now is pull the trigger.
When I do…the paint is then allowed to pass through the gun…and into that flowing stream of air…it’s audible…and feel-able too…if you stick your hand under there.
Anyhow…the paint stream obviously mixes with the air stream and out comes a spray.
When you shut the trigger off…the paint stops flowing…but the air does not…until you then close the valve that allows the air to flow.
Now…if you have time…watch the video…and I love this machine…especially if you work in a (4) climate zone = cool and cold temps.
Last…I’ll sell these machines from my site soon. You’ll get the same prices from me but…I’ll throw in a stencil for free. Check out my “Buy Supplies” page and pick a stencil…$105.00 or less.
Call me for machine prices…let me know if I can help.
