Equipment for demarcating of traffic lines with hot paints (thermoplastics) , assembled on trucks. This assemblage is called FUSOR/APPLICATOR (3 way) trademark ELGIMAQ ®, mod. EGM-FA-1500L.

I- DESCRIPTION:

The equipment of hot painting for demarcating traffic lines EGM-FA-1500L, was designed to be assembled on the surface of a truck with capacity from 16 to 17 tons of heavy load, distance between axis of 4,80, front cabin.

Designed for automatic application of thermoplastic material with glass beads, according a combined system, it demarcates simultaneously continuous and/or discontinuous lines, axis and edges, through hot gun sprays of highly productivity, as well as it demarcates traffic signs through the accessory for hand guided application (extrusion) .

Also, it can apply the so called cold system paints, through high performance and quality spray guns, processed automatically (spray), demarcating lines of axis and edges simultaneously.

The engineering and multiple usage of this equipment allows new spaces (without painting) to be solely and previously demarcated (guides of paint) in its axis, with no previously demarcations on the edges required.

Important Note:
This equipment was originally built specially for the demarcation of thermoplastics however, it can be adjusted for pieces and spray guns of painting, so that it can demarcate with cold paints (acrylic/watery). This set of pieces which we call COLD KIT is optional, therefore, they will only be included in the prices of our offers in case they are required by the customer.

II - TECHNICAL FEATURES:

1. Platform, of 6,50m x 2,50m, steel built, with wrinkled surface plates over a sided "U" shaped structure equipped with ladder, box of tools and accessories and partial coverage.

2. Boiler, thermal oil immersed pressurized tank, isolated thermally, with capacity for 1.000 Kg/500 liters of thermoplastic material, equipped with safety valve, manometer, thermometer and hydraulic drive beater with changing rotation, for the homogenization of the material and outlet for four independent tubing

This tank is also used for cold paint demarcations, always regarding the cleaning aspects of remaining materials, considering the risks of heating of highly combustible materials contained in the acrylic paints.

3. Pre-Heaters, two vertical cylindrical tanks, each of them with capacity for 1000 Kg/500 liters of thermoplastic material, also thermally isolated and equipped with thermometer, DIESEL burners for heating and fusion of the material, hydraulic drive beater with changing rotation and blades that rub out the walls of the tanks, completely stirring the material herein. These tanks are not used for cold paint demarcations.

4. Tank of Glass Beads, a pressure tank with capacity for 250 Kg of glass beads equipped with safety valves, manometer and outlet for four independent tubing.

5. Air Compressor, portable, asymmetric screw's type, with minimum capacity for 130 PCM. The compressor releases the compressed air, which passes through a filter where it deposits impurities still remaining and condensation water, reaches the a manifold tube of distribution, where are located the net lubricator and the central manometer indicating the air pressure available, and as well from which the air inlet is released reaching the pressure regulators provided with corresponding manometers indicating the adjusted pressures. The outlets of such regulators are for compressed air:

6. Thermal Oil System, consisting of an expansion tank, diesel burner with an air/oil system with automatic regulation of temperature through a thermostat, and an assemblage of motor pump for the oil circulation.

The thermal oil that heats the whole system and pistols of thermoplastic is released by the tank, passes through the assemblage of motor pump that circulates it through the heater where it is heated at a temperature up to 200*/250*C, reaching the thermoplastic tank (boiler), tubing and pistols from where it returns to the tank at a temperature of between 150*/180*C.

7. Spray Guns, for Thermoplastic, tree spray guns are assembled for the application of the thermoplastic (Elgimaq, mod. EGM-PHS-001). They are made from a hard material comparing with the ones used for cold paintings. They have a camera where the thermal oil is circulated, which keeps them heated. Similar to the ones used for cold painting, they are also automatic, individually operated by a long distance pneumatic action, painting simultaneously continuing and/or discontinuing lines of axis.

8. Spray Guns for Glass Beads - There are also three of them (Elgimaq, mod. EGM-PEE-002) The compressed air inside the tank of the glass beads makes them compressed through a pipe until it reaches the spray gun. The air inlet is controlled, through a second pipe, allowing a constant and uniform application of the glass beads over the thermoplastic or cold paints.

9. Hydraulic System - A double system consisting of a device with capacity for 140 liters of hydraulic fluid, equipped with level indicator, filter of suction and fluid return and air filter, a double pump of blades with plaques of 11 and 5 GPM coupled to the gear box of the truck, through power assumption, three flux controlling release valves, three motors, two "hydraulic" driving , two linear actuators and extra pump coupled to the motor of the truck.

This system will activate:

10. Set of Hoses - The equipment has five different sets of hoses, corresponding to several systems consisting of:

11. Alert Signaling Panel - Consisting of a double arrow shaped panel blinking alternately to the left and right or simultaneously to both directions, located on the upper back part, easy to see, providing a better safety to the crew on working.

12. Eletronic Programmer of Cadence - It presents the same constructing and functional aspects when applied to the cold painting machine. Each pistol has a system of independent control, consisting of an input selector with two switches (continuous or discontinuing painting) and a controlling valve which has also two switches (painting or not painting). The programmer controls automatically the spray gun paintings on the discontinued lines according to the pre-determined cadence (programmed). Cadence means the extension of a line plus the extension of an interval.

13. Kit for Cold Painting - Set of optional pieces (to be ordered) for painting services with acrylic based paint consisting of the following:

14. Kit of Thermoplastics Manual Applying - Optional kit (to be ordered) consisting of five manual accessory for extrusion application, of 10, 15, 20, 40 and 50cm.

15. Productivity:

(*) Drivers, operators, fuser men, markers and helpers.

Note: We inform that the numbers above are the usual ones provided by the Signaling Brazilian Market We warn that factors such as planning, logistics, working people, quality of materials and signaling of protection are determined by productivity.

16. Summary of the main accessories:

OPTIONAL:
1 Cold painting kit 1 Kit of extrusion application (10,15,20,40,50 cm) .

17. Dimensions of the equipment:

III - GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS:

* The engineering of the components used are strictly under the standards and patterns of the Technical Rules Brazilian Association (ABNT); however, we can analyze the possibility of building the equipment under the patterns of the country in which it will be worked on.

* Modifications concerning the capacity or lay-out of the original project can possibly be made, as long as with previous consultation and further cost evaluation.

* Normally, this equipment is supplied full including the truck used however, is possible to produce all the sets and components of this in our Plant and, later to export them to the customer with specialized team to assemble over a truck of your choice. This possibility will add to the price of the product, the costs with tickets, lodging and feed of this team, during the period when occurs the assembly.
