1.1
THE GUN
The Sprayjet-87 Gun has been designed and built to be one of the worlds best hand guns
for producing flame sprayed coatings with metallizing wires.
The PPS-87 Flame Spray Gun is designed for the High Speed application of corrosionresistant coatings. It sprays 1/8 (3.17mm) and 3/16 (4.76mm) soft metallizing wires such
as zinc, aluminium, lead, tin and babbitt, with low melting points. Converting from one size
of wire to another is quick and easy. The Sprayjet-87 Gun is not suitable for spraying wires
made of hard metal with high melting points.
Although the Sprayjet-87 Gun has been designed primarily for hand-held operation, a
simple, rugged tool post fixture is supplied with each unit to permit mounting on a machine
tool such as a lathe.
1.2
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The wire is pulled into the rear of the gun by an automatic feed PPShanism powered by a
self-contained turbine driven by compressed air. The wire is fed through the gun into a fuel
gas / oxygen flame. A stream of compressed air restricts the flame and blasts the molten tip
of the wire, producing a fine metal spray.
The Sprayjet-87 Gun offers many outstanding design features. Some of these are described
below:
1.
An improved version of Sprayjet-87 Guns siphon jet gas head produces high spray
rates, low gas consumption and extreme resistance to backfire and its effects.
2.
Nozzle-to siphon plug seals are O Rings, instead of being lapped surfaces, which are
difficult to maintain.
3.
The gas head valve provides long service life with limited maintenance. Worn or
damaged valve parts can be replaced in the field without lapping or other precise
fitting.
4.
New-design nozzle and air caps provide excellent coatings at very high spraying
speeds and without loading.
5.
The nozzle, siphon plug and front wire guide assemble as a unit which can be quickly
and easily removed and replaced, when changing wire size or servicing.
6.
The Sprayjet-87 Guns controlled power governor provides increased power and
stability of wire speed.
7.
The drive rolls and wire guides are made of hardened stainless steel for high
resistance to wear and corrosion.
8.
A thumb-operated wire grip control starts and stops the wire feed. It is conveniently
located for ease of operation.
9.
A simple, rugged wire snubber is incorporated in the wire from accidentally pulling out
of the gun.
SECTION 2
SAFETY MEASURES
2.1
GENERAL
Flame Spraying can be hazardous because it requires the use of combustible gases,
containers and hoses under high pressure and potentially irritating or toxic spray materials.
It may involve air contaminated by dusts and mists etc. However, it is a completely safe
process when performed by a capable operator with proper understanding of flame spraying
practices, knowledge of the equipment, care in operation and one who follow the
recommended precautionary measures.
2.2
USE OF EQUIPMENT
Sprayjet-87 Flame Spray Equipment has been expressly designed for flame spraying. Never
use if for any other purpose such as welding, soldering, brazing and their like.
2.3
Remember that the stream of sprayed metal is HOT. Point the lighted gun away from
yourselves and away from materials, which will burn. Carelessness in pointing the gun at
paper, wood or oily rags can result in fire.
Be especially careful not to spray on the hoses, when lighting the gun. Hoses will burn. Keep
them out of the way.
2.4
GASES
All gas equipment such as fuel gas, oxygen and airlines, compressors regulators etc., should
be inspected regularly for leaks and loose connection.
2.5
EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE
Maintain the flame spray equipment in first class condition. Follow the maintenance
recommendations in the Sprayjet-87 Manual.
2.6
BACKFIRE
Spray gun backfire can be prevented by proper maintenance. Inspect the gun and related
equipment before starting to spray. Backfire may be caused by a leak at the nozzle, dirt in
the nozzle, use of the wrong air cap etc. A gun will not backfire unless something is wrong.
See the section on BACKFIRE in the AVOIDING TROUBLE Chapter in this Instruction
Manual.
2.7
METAL DUSTS
All dust having considerable calorific value can be explosive. This dust includes - flour,
starch, hard rubber dust, wood flour, aluminium dust and the dust of other metals.
Aluminium and magnesium dusts are particularly hazardous.
Care must be taken in handling them. To minimize the danger of dust explosion resulting
from flame spraying, adequate ventilation must be provided for spray booths and other
confined spaces, to prevent the accumulation of fumes and dust. Good housekeeping in the
work area is essential. Inspect and clean regularly to ensure that there is no potentially
dangerous accumulation of dust.
Bag or filter type collectors are not suitable for metal spray dust. A water wash wet collector
should be used. All of the dust must be wetted down and remain immersed in water. No
accumulation of dry or partially wet dust should be permitted. A PPS Spray booth is
recommended.
All closed collectors should be provided with blow out holes or relief panels. All fans, pipes,
dust arresters and motors should be electrically grounded.
2.8
Charged gas cylinders are potentially dangerous. Never put a gas cylinder in a hazardous
position. Keep cylinders away from heat and moisture. Always chain them to keep them
from toppling. Put the valve caps on the cylinders when they are not connected for use.
Do not hang a flame spray gun or its hoses or regulators or cylinder valves as a fire or
explosion may result.
2.9
Fumes or dusts of lead, babbitts, chromium, zinc can be toxic and hazardous. Efficient
spray booth and exhaust system are therefore essential while spraying these. Besides, if the
operator feels any discomfort a suitable mask with respirating facility may be used.
2.10
The operator and other personnel close to the flame spray operation should be protected
from prolonged exposure to noise. If possible, the flame spray operation should be isolated.
FAQ : The noise level of sprayjet-87 gun ranges from 120 140 dBA.
2.11
EYE PROTECTION
Always wear Eye Protectors while operating, or watching the flame spray operating. Inspect
the eye protectors frequently. Lenses and cover plates, which are scratched, pitted or
damaged, can impair vision and seriously reduce protection.
SECTION 3
FLAME SPRAY EQUIPMENT
A complete flame spray installation requires equipment to supply and control compressed
air, oxygen, fuel gas and metallizing wire.
3.1
AIR COMPRESSOR
A minimum of 33 CFM of free air delivery is required at 4.5 Kg/cm2 (65 psig). Taking into
consideration the pressure in the piping, connections and regulator the line pressure of at
least 5.0 Kg/cm2 (75 psig) at the regulator should be provided during spraying.
3.2
This unit includes filters, regulator and plumbing hardware, designed for increased capacity,
easier airflow and low maintenance. It assures proper control of air pressure to the gun and
removes line condensate, oil and dirt.
3.3
This indicates the flow of oxygen and fuel gas to the gun. This is a balanced twin-tube
instruction with easy to read scales, to ensure maximum efficiency through correct flame
balance.
3.4
This unit includes precision two-stage regulators for accurate adjustment of oxygen and fuel
gas pressure.
Where continuous, high speed spraying is required; manifolding is recommended for
connecting several gas cylinders together.
3.5
This is a group of three-matched high quality, lightweight flexible hoses equipped with
proper fittings for Sprayjet-87 Gun. It consists of a black air hose and a dual hose for gases;
green or blue for oxygen and red for acetylene. The hoses have proper fittings to connect to
the flowmeter at one end to the gun at the other. The meter end should be connected first
and the hoses blown out at low pressure before the gun is connected. Air & Oxygen hose
has right hand thread and the fuel gas hose has a left hand thread.
Connector size of gas hoses:

This is specially designed on four castor wheel to hold the coil of wire and with panel to
mount the gas flowmeter, air control unit, gun mounting stand and tools tray.
There is a provision on the trolley to keep a number off wire coils not in use.
SECTION 4
INSTALLATION
Mount the Sprayjet-87 Gun in position for use.
The gas flowmeter, the gas and air control units must be mounted without reach of the gun
hoses. Position the fuel gas and oxygen cylinders with regulators in place. Gas cylinders
should always be strapped or chained to the wall to prevent their being knocked over.
Always blow out the gas cylinder valves before attaching the regulators. Always back out the
pressure regulating screws before opening cylinder valves. Open the cylinder valves slowly.
Do not let regulators stand under pressure when not in use. Failure to observe these
precautions may result in damage to the regulators.
Place the wire reel on the stand so that the wire will feed as straight as possible into the
wire guide of the flame spray gun. When the flame spray gun is stationary, place the wire
reel up with its position adjusted to feed the wire in a straight line into the rear wire guide.
When the flame spray gun is mounted so that it moves, as on the carriage of a lathe, the
wire control should be placed as far away from the gun as is practicable in order to reduce
the bend in the wire as it passes into the rear wire guide.
4.1
SPRAY BOOTH
Metal dust, fumes and the fuel combustion products call for an effective exhaust and dust
collection system. In production installations, if the spraying station is enclosed, make sure
that there is enough opening for inlet air so that the exhaust system is not starved. Under
some conditions, metal dusts can be quite hazardous. For this reason, it is advisable to
install a spray booth, especially designed for metal spraying. Dust collectors designed
primarily for other kinds of dust may be found to be very ineffective and, in some cases,
dangerous, if used for metal dust.
4.2
CHECK
Good shop practice and sound engineering require that the installation should be checked
before it is put into operation. Check the power line voltage connections, the fuel gas,
oxygen and air connections, and the installation of the exhaust system before turning on a
valve.
SECTION 5
OPERATION
5.1
OPERATING CONTROLS
The Gas Head Valve controls the flow of gases and air to both the gas head and the
turbine.
2.
3.
The Wire Grip Valve causes the drive rolls to grip or release the wire.
Each gun is given an operating test at the factory and is ready to be hooked up when
received. When putting the Sprayjet-87 Gun into operation: 1.
Use the nozzle and air cap shown in the performance chart for the wire to be sprayed.
2.
Set the siphon plug flange firmly against the gas head. Make sure the mating surfaces
are clean and free of chips.
3.
Make sure that the nozzle nut is tight. Tightening by hand is sufficient.
4.
5.
Check the gas head valve for smooth, easy action. Relubricate if necessary.
6.
7.
Read and understand the chapter on SAFETY MEASURE before lighting the gun.
5.2
Connect the hoses to the air and gas flowmeters. Turn on the exhaust system. Blow the
hoses out and connect them to the gun. The air and oxygen hose nuts have right-hand
threads. The fuel gas hose has a left-hand thread. These nuts must be tight enough to
prevent gas leaks. Do not overtighten, as this may crush the hose stems.
Set up the gun to point into the spray booth.
Open the gas head valve by turning the valve handle straight up. Adjust the air regulator
unit the gauge shows the pressure specified in the performance chart. When the valve is
turned off (horizontal) the regulator gauge should not show a pressure increase of more
than 10 psi (0.69 bar). A greater pressure rise usually indicates regulator trouble, or a
restriction upstream from the air control unit. In either case, the trouble should be corrected
before proceeding.
Turn the valve handle up to 45 until it clicks. In this position air is fed to the turbine but not
to the air cap. This is the LIGHTING POSITION. Turn the valve handle all the way up. A
strong blast of air will come out of the air cap. This is the RUNNING POSITION.
It the gun has not been used for some time, speed it up and slow it down several times by
turning the speed control ring.
The WIRE-GRIP VALVE has two positions; forward (off) and rearward (on). To change
settings, push the side wing button or rear button on the thumb bar all the way forward and
release it.
With the gas head valve in the running position and the wire-grip valve in the off position,
insert the wire into the rear wire guide and push it through the gun. Set the wire-grip valve
in the on position. The wire will begin to feed.
Adjust the speed control ring to obtain a slow feed for large, stiff wire, such as 3/16
aluminium, or a fast feed for smaller, soft wire such as 1/8 zinc.
With the gas head valve open, quickly set the oxygen and fuel gas pressures to the figures
shown in the performance chart under LIGHTING PRESSURES. Adjust the flowmeter gas
flow control valves to obtain the flow values shown in the table. Then close the gas head
valve.
5.3
LIGHTING
Take up the gas lighter and open the gas head valve all the way (straight up)
2.
3.
Close the valve halfway until you feel it click into the lighting stop
4.
5.
Immediately open the valve all the way as soon as the gun lights.
There is no need for a new operator to hurry the several motions required except that the
valve must be opened completely immediately after lighting.
After the gun is lighted
1.
Wait for a few seconds for the turbine to come up to speed, and then start the wire
feed. (If the wire feed is started too soon the cap may load with sprayed metal)
2.
Set the speed control to obtain the highest wire speed, which will allow the wire to
melt off to a point without spattering. The wire should extend in from of the air cap
about 5mm. The length, however, will vary, depending upon the kind of coating
desired and the metal being sprayed.
3.
Readjust the fuel gas and oxygen regulators until the readings on the Gas Flow Meter
correspond to the performance chart.
Caution:
5.4
SPRAYING
The gun should be held from 12.5cm to 20cm away from the surface being sprayed. For
small work, such as shafts less than 2.5 cm in diameter, it is advisable to cool the work with
air blast.
For information on surface preparation and for general information on application of the
flame spray process, refer to the handbook.
5.5
The wire feed can be stopped temporarily when spraying, by simply pushing the wire grip
valve to the OFF position to release the grip of the above drive rolls. The WIRE SNUBBER
at the gun will keep the wire from slipping out of the gun. Make sure the outer sleeve of the
snubber is in the rear position (not locked out).
Caution:
Do not operate the gun with wire snubber locked out. If, during
operation, the wire grip is released with the snubber locked out, the
wire may pull back out of the gun. If this happens, the gun flame
may flash back through the rear wire guide. The hot tip of the wire
and the back flash of the flame can cause personal injury.
To start the wire feed again, return the wire grip valve to the ON Position.
5.6
SHUTTING DOWN
To shut the gun down, turn OFF the gas head valve.
To release the wire:
1.
2.
Push the snubber outer sleeve forward. (The sleeve can be locked in this position by
twisting it in the direction of the arrow).
If the gun will not be used again for several hours, shut off the oxygen and fuel gas at the
cylinders and shut off the air at the regulator on the air control unit. Back out the pressure
regulating screws on the gas regulators and bleed off pressure in the hoses and gun by
opening the gas head valve momentarily.
5.7
The Sprayjet-87 Gun is equipped to spray 3.17mm wire. It may be ordered set up to spray
any size standard metallizing wire from 4.76mm down to 1.6mm. It is also frequently
desirable to purchase nozzles and air caps for a number of different sizes in order to be able
to handle a wider variety of jobs.
Changing wire size will require a change of nozzle and air cap. Follow the recommendation
in the appropriate performance chart towards the end of this manual.
Drive rolls and wire guides may also have to be changed. See the wire guide and drive roll
selection chart for proper combination of parts.
5.8
DIFFERENT GASES
Sprayjet-87 Gun is equipped with a universal gas head. It may be used with oxygen and any
combustible gas such as acetylene, propane, natural gas, manufactured gas, or hydrogen.
The proper nozzle and siphon plug must be used.
5.9
NOZZLES
There are two types of wire nozzles for acetylene, propane (or LPG). The nozzles for
acetylene are flat on the small end. The propane nozzle is centerboard on the small end.
Each nozzle has its wire size mark on it.
5.10
SIPHON PLUG
Different siphon plugs are required for various wire sizes and fuel gases. See the nozzle and
siphon plug selection chart for the proper combination of parts.

SECTION 7
CONSTRUCTION & ASSEMBLY
The Sprayjet-87 Gun is made up of two main sections:
1.
2.
7.1
GAS HEAD
The Gas Head 87-5 is fastened to the gun by three screws: Two Front Screws 87-97 and
one Rear Screw 87-96.
A Cylindrical Valve Core 87-43, centrally located in the Gas Head is held in place of both the
Valve Handle 87-45 and Screw 87-179, which hold Hose Connection Block 87-176 to the
bottom of the Gas Head.
To disassemble the Valve cleaning and lubrication:
1.
Clean the outside of the valve thoroughly to remove dirt and grit.
2.
Lighting Detent Pint 87-173 and Spring 87-174, trapped by the valve handle,
can now be removed.
B.
Rings 87-44 in grooves on the hose connection block can be lifted out. These
seal against leakage at the mounting face.
3.
4.
Remove Two Plungers 87-165 and one Plunger 87-166 by pulling on the Plunger
Stem. Do not twist. Each Plunger is keyed against rotation.
5.
Slide Valve Core 87-43 out of the Gas Head. Never try to take out the Valve Core
before removing the Hose Connection Block. 4 O Rings 87-44 and one O Ring 8714 on the valve core seal of the Oxygen, Fuel Gas and Air from each other and from
leakage to the outside.
6.
Two Plunger Seal O Rings 87-170 and one Plunger Seal O Ring 87-169, normally
squeezed against the valve core by the front ends of the spring loaded plungers,
may stick to the plungers when the plungers are removed. If not, these rings will be
found in the gas head holes, which house the plungers. Push these rings into the
valve bore and take them out for servicing.
Examine all O Rings and replace those, which are worn or damaged. Use only
authorised replacements. If cleaning is needed, use a clean cloth slightly dampened
with cleaning solvent. Never soak the O Rings in solvent or any other liquid.
2.
Wash the metal parts with cleaning solvent as required. Full Flow and bleeder ports
are machined into the valve core for proper control of the gases. These ports should
be clean and free of any hard residue.
3.
Lubricate valve O Rings and sliding metal parts with a thin coat of Valvelube.
When putting back the plungers, align the plunger keyway with the mating key pin in the
gas head. Slide each plunger into its hole and press firmly all the way home to seat each
seal ring against the valve core. When properly installed, the large diameter of each plunger
will be completely inside its hole. If it is not, it means they key pin is not engaging the
plunger keyway and the valve will not seal properly.
A dowel pin in the hose connection block fits into a mating hole at the bottom of the gas
head to preserve proper orientation. The long nose on the connection block mounting screw
87-179 (next to air hose fitting) engages a groove in the valve core. Make sure to put this
screw back in its proper place. Check that the connection block O Rings are in their
retaining grooves before tightening the connection block screws.
7.2
One end of the valve core has an aluminium knob. With the valve core in place in the gas
head, before mounting the valve handle, turn the core so that a hole appears pointing
towards the back of the gas head. Point the valve handle forward and screw it on to the
stem of the valve core. When properly mounted, the head of the valve handle screw will be
in line with the hole of the valve core. If they are opposite in line, the valve will not feed air
to the turbine when you try to spray.
7.3
The Gas Siphon Plug 87-2 fits into the large hole through the upper part of the gas head.
The flange of the siphon plug has two slots, which mate with two pins in the head. 4 O
Rings 87-14 seal against gas leakage.
The front wire guide 87-23 threads into the back of the siphon plug. The WIRE NOZZLE 877 is held on to the front of the siphon plug by nozzle nut 87-6. Air Cap 87-3 slips into the
front recess of the nozzle nut and Air Cap Body 87-1 holds this entire assembly in place of
the head.
With the air cap body off, the entire assembly of front wire guide, siphon plug, nozzle nut
and air cap can be quickly removed. It will help to place the blade of your screwdriver
between the drive roll and the front wire guide and push forward. This will ease the
assembly forward. Once the O Ring seals break away, the assembly can easily be pulled
forward out of the gas head by hand.
Whenever the siphon plug is removed, examine the O Rings for nicks and cuts. If they are
damaged, replace them.
When reinstalling the siphon plug, lubricate the O Rings with valvelube. Make sure the
slots in the siphon plug flange engage the two gas head pins. The front wire guide must be
threaded into the siphon plug as far as it will go.
Push the siphon plug assembly in until the flange of the siphon plug is firmly seated against
the gas head with the two dowels. Air Cap Body 87-1 must be on tight before spraying.
7.4
The wire grip PPShanism is held on the gun by 3 Screw 87-127. Complete disassembly of
this PPShanism will be needed only for major cleaning and overhaul. To disassemble:
1.
2.
Unscrew Cylinder 87-209. Screw 87-93 at the back of the cylinder acts as a piston stop
in the wire release position keeping the upper and lower drive roll gears from coming
out of mesh. The screw is set at the factory. Do not tamper with it.
3.
Pull the piston and push rod assembly out of Support Block 87-206. Check O Rings
for wear or damage. Replace with new ones if required and lubricate with Valvelube
before reassembling.
7.5
Lower Drive Roll 87-35 and Lower Drive Gear 87-36 are threaded on the Drive Shaft 87-65.
Both have left hand threads. Use spanner wrench 87-104 to unscrew these parts. To replace
the roll and gear:
1.
Use Tool 87-103. The projecting button on the tool fits the centre hole of each part.
2.
Slip the part on the tool, line it up with the end of the drive shaft and spin it counter
clock wise (left hand threads) on to the shaft.
3.
7.6
Snubber Assembly 87-118, consisting of a read guide and wire snubbing PPShanism, is held
in place at the back of the gun by Set Screw 87-25. With the gun completely assembled, this
setscrew can be reached through an access hole in the mounting flange of the wire grip
PPShanism.
7.7
The speed adjustment parts are mounted on Turbine Cover 87-77. The entire assembly is
removed from the right side of the gun by taking out three screws 87-53 and pulling the unit
away from the mounting flange. Do not push the turbine cover off. For easy removal, loose
the cover screws and tap lightly on the screw heads.
2.
3.
4.
The Spider Assembly can be removed by turning the control ring counter-clockwise until the
spider drops out. The rest of the parts can be separated by removing three Ring Name Plate
Screws 87-89. When reassembling, clean the parts thoroughly. Lubricate the thread and
detent surface of the control ring with Valvelube.
The spider ring has a ring brake shoe mounted to it with four screws. Do not take off the
shoe, nor the brake disc, which runs against it. Do not lubricate the shoe. These parts are
designed to run dry. Any grease of oil on them should be removed by wiping down with
Cleaning Solvent.
After the Turbine Cover is removed, the Turbine Assembly and Speed Governor Parts can be
taken from the gun by first removing Bearing Cover 87-47 which is held in place of two
Screw 87-31.
Bearing Cover Gasket 87-48 seals the surface under the Bearing Cover. Lift if off carefully.
When reinstalling, coat both sides of the gasket with a thin layer of valve lube.
Hold the turbine rotor by hand and remove Turbine Shaft Nut 87-84. The Turbine Assembly
can now be pulled out of the housing. The Turbine Shaft Left Bearing 87-70 will stay in the
housing.
Take off Nut 87-75 at the right end of the turbine shaft. The following parts will slide off the
shaft:
1.
2.
3.
Spring 87-76
4.
Turbine Rotor Assembly 87-71 is fastened to the turbine shaft by Set Screw 87-67 and holds
Oil Seal Assembly 87-160 in place.
Never take apart the brake disc assembly or the turbine rotor assembly. Each of these
assemblies is carefully balanced at the factory.
When reassembling, pay particular attention to the following instructions:
1.
The parts and bearing must be clean. Dirt or grit will cause rapid wear.
2.
The end of the turbine rotor set screw must seat in the spot provided for it on the
turbine shaft.
3.
Be sure to place the bent ears of the brake disc assembly over the button weights,
which are on the governor spring attached to the turbine rotor.
4.
The turbine shaft right bearing has a shield on one side. Put the bearing on the shaft
with the shield towards the turbine rotor.
7.8
The gears for the wire drive unit are enclosed by a gasketed Gear Cover 87-54, which is
held in place with 4 Screws 87-53. Continuing from the point of disassembly described so
far, the gear cover can be removed as follows:
1.
Take off Drive Shaft Nut 87-84 (under the bearing cover) on the left end of Drive
Shaft 87-65.
2.
3.
Remove the 4-gear cover mounting screws and ease the cover off the gun. The drive
shaft Left Bearing 87-70, the turbine shaft Left Bearing 87-70 and the countershaft
Front Bearing 87-70 will come of the gear cover.
Note that the gear cover mounts on two dowel pins and is sealed against leakage by Gasket
87-55. When reinstalling the gasket, coat both sides with a thin layer of Valvelube.
7.9
When the gear cover is removed, the drive shaft assembly will stay in the gun housing. With
the lower drive roll and drive gear removed as previously described, the entire assembly can
be pulled out of the housing as a unit. The parts consist of
1.
2.
3.
4.
The gear is fastened to the shaft by Set Screw 87-67. Right Bearing 87-69 is pressed on to
the drive shaft and should not be removed. If it becomes necessary to replace this bearing,
make certain to push on the inner race when pressing the new bearing on to the shaft.
7.10
When the countershaft assembly is removed as discussed above, Front Bearing 87-70 will
stay in the gear cover. (It may slip out of the socket and drop into the gear chamber). The
rest of this assembly can be taken apart as follows:
1.
Unscrew Plug 87-52 from the Bearing Retainer 87-51. O Ring 87-14 and 87-46 on
these parts help seal the gear case against grease leakage.
2.
Remove Countershaft Nut 87-84 located on the end of the shaft under the plug. When
doing this, hold the gear by hand with a cloth. Never hold it with a wrench.
Bearing 87-70 can be pushed out of the retainer and countershaft 87-91 with countershaft
gear 87-92 fastened to it can be pulled free. Take the gear off the shaft by loosening Set
Screw 87-67. When putting the gear back on, be sure the setscrew goes into the hole
provided for it on the shaft.
7.11
The centrally located casting on which all the assemblies are mounted is Central Housing 8759. Two Dowel Pins 87-63 are pressed in place.
Pump Housing 87-60 is fastened to the side of the central housing with 2 Screw 87-61 and
2-lock washer 87-62. Do not remove these parts. With the gun completely assembled, the
countershaft passes through the pump housing and pumps gear lubricant to the back or the
gun to lubricate the high-speed bearings and gears. The pump housing has been specially
aligned for proper clearance over the countershaft to ensure efficient pumping action.
7.12
To disassemble the wire grip valve, remove Cam Screw 87-133 and pull out Valve Shaft 87131. Inspect the O Rings, cam screw and cam (on the valve shaft) for wear or damage
and replace as needed. Since the cam cannot be removed from the valve shaft, the entire
valve shaft must be replaced if the cam is damage.
When reassembling, lubricate with Valvelube. Turn the cam Screw until it hits the root of the
cam. Then back off about 1/2 turn.
7.13
The most important point in lubricating the gun is cleanliness. Dirt, grit and metal dust in
the PPShanism will cause quick wear of gears and bearings.
The lubricant for the gears and bearings is Gearlube. To lubricate a dry gun, one full tube of
Gearlube should be squeezed into the gear case. To do this, wipe the back of the central
housing clean and remove oil sight plug 87-10. After cleaning the screw end of the Gearlube
Tube, screw it into the filter screw hole and squeeze the tube until empty.
With the gun upright and level, the lubricant should be visible in the lower half of the sight
plug. After adding lubricant, wait for a short while before checking the level because the
lubricant settles slowly.
7.14
The right side turbine shaft bearing, located in the turbine cover, and parts of the governor
PPShanism located just behind this bearing, are lubricated through the centre of the turbine
cover. Follow the same cleaning procedure described above. Remove Filter Screw 87-50, put
the end of the Gearlube tube into the hole and squeeze out a strip of lubricant about 6mm
long. Do not over lubricate.
SECTION 8
AVOIDING TROUBLE
8.1
SPRAYING
The most important point in the care and lubrication of Sprayjet-87 Metallizing Gun is
cleanliness. Dirt, Grit and metal dust in the PPShanism can cause quick wear.
Before lubrication or overhaul, wipe the gun thoroughly to remove all loose dust. Use a
clean bench for disassembly and be sure the lubricant tube is free of dirt.
There is a chart showing a suggested maintenance schedule at the end of this chapter. This
chart is based on average use and conditions.
Gun receiving hard use should be serviced at shortest intervals. The main factors affecting
service frequency are:
1.
2.
3.
The higher each is, the more often the gun should be serviced.
8.3
HOSES
1.
Obstructions in the hoses reduce the flow of oxygen and gas and upset the flame
balance.
2.
Do not get oil in the hoses. Oil in the oxygen hose is very dangerous. In any hose, oil
will soften the rubber.
3.
In an old, worn hose the lining may come loose and plug the hose.
4.
If hose fitting are over-tightened, the holes in the fittings may collapse. This reduces
the flow of gases and causes the same troubles as obstructions in the hoses.
8.4
DIFFICULT LIGHTING
If the gun is hard to light, make sure that the nozzle and siphon plug jets are clean and
undamaged. If the trouble persists, screw out the regulator handles to shut off the gases
and then disconnect the hoses. Inspect hoses and gun fittings for dirt or other obstruction.
Blow out the hoses before reconnecting them.
If the gun has been idle for some time or after the valve just been lubricated, it is advisable,
before lighting, to work the valve ON and OFF a few times with gases and air turned on.
This will blow out any excess valve lubricant from the small bleeder holes in the valve.
Plugged bleeder holes will cause lighting trouble.
8.5
BACKFIRE
If the gun backfires, it will appear to go out with a pop and will burn back in the siphon
plug. Shut the gun OFF immediately and wait for about thirty seconds before relighting.
The following may cause backfiring:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
It is possible for a single jet to backfire and the others to burn normally. The flame will
suddenly become slightly one-sided. Correction must be made immediately to prevent
overheating of the siphon plug and gas head. Replacing the nozzle and cleaning the siphon
plug is the best and most economical procedure.
Excessive backfire or permitting the gas to burn back in the siphon plug too long, makes it
necessary to clean the jets in the siphon plug and nozzle. It may also cause the nozzle nut
to loosen.
The cause of the backfire should be found and corrected. The gun will not backfire unless
something is definitely out of adjustment.
8.6
SIPHON PLUG
This part should be cleaned occasionally. Instruction for removing and replacing it are given
in the section on CONSTRUCTION & ASSEMBLY. When cleaning the siphon plug wipe out
the grooves clean the jets with the proper size wires in the cleaning wire kit. Do not use
drills. Do not use oversize wires. Do not rotate the wires.
Do not wash the O Rings with strong solvent. Inspect them for damage and replace them
if necessary. Do not stretch new O Rings more than necessary when putting them on the
siphon plug. Lubricate the O Rings with a generous film of PPS Valvelube before
reassembling the siphon plug. Wipe any excess Valvelube of the plug, to avoid getting it in
the jets.
8.7
WIRE NOZZLES
The nozzle must be tight on the siphon plug. Firm tightening by hand is sufficient.
The tip of the nozzle at the flame should be kept clean. To clean the jet holes, remove the
nozzle and plug the proper size cleaning wire carefully into the jet hole from the back end.
Do not use a drill. Select a wire that fits the holes. Push the wire straight in and out. Do not
rotate it. Wash the nozzle in cleaning solvent before and after cleaning. Blow out the holes
from the flame and with compressed air.
8.8
The gas head valve is designed for long service life with minimum maintenance. It has a
cylindrical rather than the old-style tapered core and relies upon special elastomeric O
Rings for proper sealing. Lapping or other precise fitting is not required. One of the two
acetylene holes is stepped, having larger diameter at the periphery of valve.
Do not disassemble the valve for cleaning and relubricating, unless it has become
excessively stiff and difficult to turn or a leak has developed. Instruction for taking it apart
are given in CONSTRUCTION & ASSEMBLY
If the valve develops a leak, examine all O Rings carefully and replace any which are worn
or damaged. The ring materials are specially selected for proper service in this valve. Use
only authorised replacements. The metal parts of the valve can be washed with cleaning
solvent. Make sure that the small bleeder holes in the cylindrical valve core are clean and
free of any hard residue. Do not enlarge them.
Never soak the O Ring in solvent.
Lubricate all valve O Rings and sliding metal parts with a thin coat of Valvelube. Wipe
excess Valvelube of the nozzle to avoid getting it in the jet holes.
8.9
STICKING WIRE
Kinked or badly bend wire cause trouble. The drive rolls will gauge the wire and it may stop
feeding. If the wire melts into the end of the nozzle it can be removed by twisting and
forcing the wire through from the back with pliers. The nozzles are bushed with a special
alloy, which resists fusing with any common metal.
To reduce sticking due to kinks and bends, especially with 3.17mm and 4.76mm hard wire,
locate the wire control unit so the wire feeds straight to the gun. Do not overtighten the
brake on the wire control unit.
8.10
DRIVE ROLLS
If the teeth on the drive rolls become packed with chips from the wire they will not work
efficiently. Keep them clean with wire brushing.
8.11
SPEED CONTROL
Clean air is required for uniform, steady wire fed. Any oil between the turbine brake disc and
brake shoe may cause fluctuation in the wire speed. Clean these parts with a rag moistened
with cleaning solvent if the wire feed becomes unstable. Do not lubricate them.
8.12
THREADS
Valvelube is an excellent thread lubricant. It should be used on the threads of the air cap
body, nozzle nut, rear countershaft bearing retainer and control ring to keep the threads
smooth running.
8.13
OVER HEATING
The increased spraying speeds of the Sprayjet-87 Gun are the result of greatly increased
heating capacity. Be sure to observe recommended procedures to prevent overheating of
the work or damage of the coating.

SECTION 12
SPRAYING TABLES & GENERAL COST DATA
12.1
The Spraying Tables on the following pages list the information needed to set up and
operate the gun. There are separate tables for acetylene and propane, in both US and
Metric Systems. In addition, the table shows basic data for calculating costs.
To use the tables, first select the table for the fuel gas and system you are using. Then, in
Column 1
Column 2
Column 3
Air Cap - Use the air cap shown here. The wrong air cap will cause backfiring
or faulty spraying. Always check the Air Cap.
Columns 4, 5 & 6
Columns 7, 8 & 9
Column 13
Speed - This column shows the area which can be covered with a 0.001 or
0.1mm thick commercial coating in one hour of continuous spraying time.
This figure takes into account the density of the sprayed coating and deposit
efficiency losses but does not include overspray losses. Dividing the area to
be sprayed by the figure in this column will give the number of hours
required to put down each 0.001 or 0.1mm of coating thickness. If a total
thickness of 0.005 or 0.5mm is required, the total time will be the above
hours multiplied by 5.
Column 14
Weight - This column shows the weight of wire which must be sprayed to
cover a square foot of area with a 0.001 to 0.1mm thick coating. It includes
deposit efficiency losses but does not include overspray losses.
12.2
When estimating the area of surface, an allowance for loss the edges must be made. A good
rule is to add one inch (25mm) to each dimension when is an edge, to compensate for this
loss. This also applies when estimating the cost of building. In this case add 2 inches
(50mm) to the length to build up [one inch (25mm) at each end].

HOW TO CALCULATE COSTS
An important factor to take into account when calculating costs is the normal variation in
coating thickness between the thinnest spot and the thickest spot. The extent of this
variation depends on the particular job and the manner in which is sprayed. For all ordinary
corrosion-resistant coatings, the average thickness of the coating should be used in
calculating costs. However, if a minimum thickness of coating is specified, be sure to spray
the coating thick enough so that no spot will be thinner than the specified minimum. If this
thickness is not known from experience, spray a test area to determine the average
thickness required.
