Properly matched heated hoses and spray guns can mean the difference between smooth efficiency and frustrating downtime.
Maintaining the right temperature is critical for spray foam insulation and polyurea coating applications. To ensure reliable performance, ICAFe PCR supplies internally and externally heated hoses by Graco and Polyurethane Machinery Corporation (PMC).
Heated hoses keep material at the correct temperature from the proportioner to the spray gun, maintaining consistent viscosity and proper chemical reaction. Properly selected and maintained hoses prevent clogs, reduce waste, and improve spray pattern accuracy.
Internally heated hoses use built-in heating elements beneath the fluid lining to heat the core directly. This speeds up heat-up times and reduces external components, compared to external heating designs.
Choose internal heated hoses for jobs that need streamlined setup and rapid temperature response.
Graco Xcelerator internal heated hoses typically heat up 40 percent faster, offer 40 percent more flexibility, and have a 35 percent smaller diameter than traditional externally heated hoses.
Externally heated hoses use heating elements wrapped around the outside of the fluid tube, insulated under a protective sleeve. Choose this standard configuration for precise temperature control and rugged durability.
Pairing the right hose with a compatible spray gun ensures reliable purging, faster changeovers, and minimal downtime. The result: high productivity, excellent finish quality, and long equipment life.
Spray guns from Graco and Polyurethane Machinery Corporation (PMC) work reliably with professional contractor rigs and turnkey equipment setups by ICAFe PCR.
The Smallest, Lightest, Best-Balanced Gun for Polyurea and Spray Foam
Created with the contractor in mind, breakthrough spray gun technology delivers high quality results.
Air purge guns use compressed air to clear the mix chamber. On trigger release, compressed air blows out residual material from the mix chamber for simple, fast, and low maintenance.
Liquid purge guns inject a flush fluid into the chamber, protecting against chemical build-up between trigger pulls. When the trigger is released, a dedicated fluid cleans the chamber, reducing the risk of chemical residue curing between shots.
Mechanical purge guns use a rod mechanism to physically expel residual material, eliminating the need for solvents or compressed air purge.
