Professional contractors and industrial operators know that achieving consistent, high-quality results depends heavily on the equipment they choose. When it comes to surface preparation, coating applications, and specialized spraying tasks, spray equipment by TTi has established itself as a benchmark for reliability and performance across diverse industrial sectors. This reputation stems from decades of engineering innovation and a deep understanding of real-world operational challenges that demand both precision and durability.
Advanced Nozzle Technology and Flow Control Systems
TTi’s spray equipment incorporates precision-engineered nozzle systems that deliver exceptional atomization control across varying viscosities and material types. The company’s proprietary nozzle designs feature hardened tungsten carbide tips that resist wear even when handling abrasive materials like textured coatings or primers containing metallic particles. These nozzles utilize a dual-stage atomization process where initial breakup occurs through high-velocity shear forces, followed by secondary atomization that creates uniform droplet distribution.
The flow control mechanisms in TTi equipment employ variable displacement pumps with feedback loops that maintain consistent pressure regardless of downstream resistance changes. This technology proves particularly valuable when working with temperature-sensitive materials or when switching between different coating formulations mid-project. Operators can adjust flow rates from 0.5 to 15 gallons per minute with precision increments, allowing for both detail work and broad coverage applications.
Pump Technology and Pressure Consistency
The heart of any spray system lies in its pump assembly, and TTi has developed several innovations that set their equipment apart from conventional designs. Their positive displacement pumps feature oversized intake valves and optimized chamber geometries that reduce cavitation risk, even when drawing materials from deep containers or when working in high-altitude environments where atmospheric pressure variations can affect performance.
TTi’s pressure regulation systems maintain output consistency within ±2% variance, which translates to visible improvements in finish quality, especially on large surfaces where even minor pressure fluctuations can create noticeable texture variations. The equipment incorporates real-time pressure monitoring with automatic compensation algorithms that adjust pump stroke length and frequency to counteract system pressure drops caused by filter loading or material viscosity changes.
Material Handling Capabilities
Modern spray applications often involve challenging materials that test equipment limits. TTi spray systems handle everything from low-viscosity stains and sealers to high-build elastomeric coatings with solids content exceeding 70%. The equipment’s material handling capabilities extend to zinc-rich primers, epoxy systems with rapid cure times, and even specialized fire-retardant coatings that contain particulate additives.
The internal pathways in TTi equipment feature smooth, continuous surfaces with minimal direction changes to prevent material buildup and reduce cleaning time between jobs. Special attention has been paid to valve seat designs and sealing systems that maintain integrity when exposed to aggressive solvents or high-temperature materials. This design philosophy results in equipment that requires less frequent maintenance and experiences fewer unexpected failures during critical project phases.
Filtration and Material Preparation Integration
TTi recognizes that spray quality depends on material cleanliness, so their systems incorporate multi-stage filtration that removes contaminants without restricting flow. Primary strainers capture large debris, while secondary filters remove particles down to 100 microns. Some models include optional ultrasonic cleaning capabilities for recirculating systems, ensuring that materials remain contamination-free even during extended operation periods.
The equipment design also accommodates material conditioning requirements, with heated hose options for temperature-sensitive coatings and agitation systems that prevent settling of heavy pigments or metallic additives during extended spray sessions.
