Internal Pipe Coating Equipment Versatile, Economical, Reliable, Rugged Advantages 4 Manually-adjustable, easy-to-use tools 4 Suit a variety of coatings 4 Increase production 4 Simple design equals reliable performance 4 No need to rotate the pipe 4 95% transfer efficiency Clemco Spin-Kote pipe coating tools are designed to apply coatings to the internal surface of pipe from 2" to 96" inside diameter. The tools utilize most airless pump systems. The spray heads are pneumatically driven and can apply coatings of varying viscosity and composition. All Spin-Kote tools include manually adjustable carriages which center the spray heads in the pipe. Attaching a lance eases movement through the pipe to prevent paint defects and holidays. For high-production jobs, some customers use a gear motor or variable-speed drive to pull the tool through the pipe. This customer-provided mechanized alternative to manually drawing the tool from the pipe ensures a consistent paint application. Paint is applied in a 360° pattern by the centrifugal force of the spinning spray head. The coating material is fed to the spray head through a fluid manifold for maximum, even, distribution. The volume of coating material is adjusted by changing the pressure on the paint pump or by changing the media orifice used in the back-pressure assembly. Coating thickness is controlled by the speed at which the Spin-Kote is moved through the pipe. The Spin-Kote can be used with any coating that can be applied with an airless spray system. Typically, pipes are coated internally for potable water applications, corrosion protection, reducing pipe maintenance, and making pipe inspection easier. Coating pipes internally provides a defectfree surface, which greatly increases the flow of material through the pipe.

The following is required for proper operation: Clean, dry air supplied to the air motor (50 cfm @ maximum 90 psi) 3/8" or larger air hose (to air motor) Airless pump* Airless spray gun 1/4" high pressure spray hose (gun to tool) Back-pressure orifice assembly 3/8" high-pressure spray hose (pump to gun) Air receiver tank with air regulator and gauge Spray gun 1/4" high-pressure spray hose Consult your coatings supplier for the equipment required to apply the coating specified for your job. * A pressurized air tank can be substituted for an airless pump provided the coating’s viscosity does not...
