A pressure pot, which can also be known as a pressure feed paint tank or pressure paint pot, is mostly used in spray painting applications for several reasons:

  • Reduced Overspray: With a pressure pot, the spray gun can be operated at a lower pressure setting compared to using a siphon-feed system. This can help reduce overspray and paint wastage, as the paint is atomised more efficiently and directed precisely onto the desired surface.
  • Large Volumes and Extended Spraying: Our Pressure pots come in a number of sizes, 2ltr, 10ltr or 20ltr. This is advantageous when working on larger projects or when a continuous supply of paint or coating is required without frequent refilling.
  • Greater Efficiency: They are especially beneficial when using thicker or more viscous coatings, such as primers, high-build coatings, or certain types of adhesives. The higher pressure helps to atomise these materials effectively, allowing for better coverage and adhesion.
  • Versatility: Pressure pots can be used with a variety of our spray guns, making them versatile for different types of coatings and applications. They are commonly used in industrial settings, automotive painting, woodworking, and other professional applications.
  • Improved Control: The precise control over pressure and paint flow provided by a pressure pot allows for better control over the application process. This can result in higher-quality finishes and reduced rework.

It's important to note that while pressure pots offer various advantages, they also require proper setup, maintenance, and safety precautions.

Correct cleaning and maintenance are imperative to prevent blockages and ensure consistent performance.

Additionally, appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and safety measures should be followed when working with any spray painting equipment to protect the user against inhalation of fumes and exposure to potentially hazardous materials.
