Titan recently introduced the Titan Impact 1640 as its latest electric airless sprayer. Delivering the power of a gas sprayer with the convenience of an electric outlet, this new sprayer is capable of spraying heavy-bodied abrasive coatings and smooth texture applications, according to the company.
These end uses can include level 5 finishes, knockdown, texture, and high-build coatings.
Driven by a powerful electric motor, the Impact 1640 features a typical L6-30 electric plug and requires a 240-volt outlet. These outlets are commonly found via spider boxes at commercial job sites; temporary power poles at residential constructions sites; and on generators and welder outlets.
Making Quick Work of Big Jobs
The sprayer will support up to four guns, making quick work of big jobs. It will spray up to 1.5 gal (5.7 L) per minute, which is nearly 25 percent more output than Titan’s Impact 1140 sprayer powered by a 120-volt outlet.
The Impact 1640’s fluid section features an efficient siphoning system with a submerged foot valve for handling heavy bodied coatings, according to the company. Ceramic balls and carbide seats can be resistant to abrasive coatings, so Titan’s PermaLife Cylinder is designed to resist wear and avoid the need for replacement. It also has the company’s self-adjusting and self-compensating Quad+ Packings, which help to extend the life of the fluid section.
The sprayer features electronic pressure control to provide consistent pressure while eliminating issues with deadband. The unit is also field serviceable, and the fluid section can be changed out in minutes.
Heavy Coatings for Indoor Use
A convenient EZ-Tilt cart allows for quick and easy pail changes and cleaning. With a telescoping handle, the unit will tilt back and move easily through the use of just one hand. According to Titan, the sprayer comes outfitted with a hose-wrap that holds up to 150 feet (45.7 m) of airless hose, as well as two extra-large 12-inch (30.5 cm) pneumatic tires to increase portability and smoothen travel over rough surfaces.
“The Titan Impact 1640 provides the power of a gas sprayer, but with the convenience of electric,” said Chuck Flower, product manager for Titan. “Building on our successful line of Impact sprayers, it provides maximum production and return on investment for contractors who require a powerful multi-gun sprayer for applying heavy coatings in indoor environments not suitable for gas engine sprayers.”
The Impact 1640 comes standard with Titan’s RX-APEX gun, TR1 517 tip, and 50-foot (15.2 m) hose, and it is backed by the manufacturer’s WearGuard four-year warranty. The brushless high-efficiency motor is also covered by warranty.
The sprayer is now available in the United States and Canada at professional paint and equipment retailers.
