- Use the lowest spray pressure in the air cap, allowing you
to obtain the required finish. Not all products require the
maximum pressure for correct spraying. With lower pressure
there is an additional increase in product transfer.
- Pay special attention to the application speed. The thickness
of the film deposited may be greater than planned if the
application speed is low, and the opposite is also true.
- If the thickness of the layer is very thin, this is due to the fact
that the air pressure is excessive for the amount of product
being applied. Reduce the air pressure in the gun in order to
ensure that the thinner in the paint does not evaporate during
spraying and that it is not dry when it reaches the surface to
be painted. Increase the amount of product, correct its viscosity
or use a larger air cap in the gun.
7. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUIPMENT
The Mack 150 or Mack 320 equipment can be used to apply
conveniently diluted products used widely in the Construction,
Automotive, Timber, Plastics Industry, etc.
The product to be applied is introduced into the unit's gravity
cup or is kept in the container supplied by the manufacturer
(suction probe version).
SAGOLA S.A. has service Kits for the repair and replacement
of consumable components in the unit, indicated in the
Before each start-up and especially after cleaning or repairing
the unit, a check must be made that all its elements are
securely tightened.
The first time you use your equipment there is no need to
depressurise it, as it is already supplied in a totally
depressurised state, though it will be necessary to do this
1) With the unit, hose and gun pressurised, turn the unit's
pressure regulator control (No. 5) anticlockwise (Minimum).
2) Pull the spray gun trigger, holding it until no more product
comes out of the gun.
6. USEFUL TIPS
- If the film is very thick or granulated, this is due to the fact
that the amount of product to be applied is excessive for the
pressure used. Decrease the amount of product, reduce its
viscosity or use a smaller air cap in the gun.
- If sagging occurs, this is due to the fact that the amount of
product to be applied is excessive for the pressure used, the
viscosity is not correct or the application speed is not adequate.
Decrease the amount of product, adjust its viscosity or increase
the application speed until the required finish is obtained.
The spray fan (spray pattern) obtained will depend on the air
cap used and on your adjustment. If you require caps for other
applications, contact the Technical Service of SAGOLA S.A.
From the cup it is fed by gravity to the interior of the unit.
From the manufacturer's container, with the unit in operation,
by means of suction and through the probe it flows to the
interior of the unit.
From the unit, through the product hose and the gun, the
product is sprayed.

9. START-UP
each time any maintenance or repair work is carried out.
Should this safety measure not be observed, this may lead
to malfunctions, personal injury and accidents, which may
prove to be fatal. SAGOLA S.A. does not accept any
responsibility for the consequences of any non-compliance
with these safety regulations.
10. DEPRESSURISATION
3) Lock the spray gun trigger with the safety latch.
4) Open the product return key (No. 4)
5) Turn the pressure regulator (No. 5) clockwise until the
product FLOWS SMOOTHLY through the product return
Hose (No.3)
