Two components high performance protective coatings are used in the fields where coating with extreme chemical resistance, mechanical influence and long term durable corrosion protection is required.
These protective coatings are solvent free and fast curing Coatings. They have good chemical, abrasive, penetration and high temperature resistance properties. They are also used for corrosion protection and has excellent adhesion to steel. The combination of hardness and flexibility in these protective coatings provides a solution for an entire pipeline network including the areas like buried pipeline, bell hole and line pipe rehabilitation, field joints, distribution units, valves & fittings and containers / tanks.
Specially because of its performance, outstanding life, anti corrosive properties, strong adhesion high film builds and fast application these high protective coatings are used for protecting storage tanks, oil and gas piping, water tanks, ships etc.These high protective coatings are used for protecting storage tanks, oil and gas piping, water tanks, ships etc.. Curing time of Two Component equipment is very fast ranging from few seconds to several minutes. Hot Airless Two Component Equipments are used to achieve high coating thickness.

| Plural Component High Pressure Pump |
|
|
This is the core part of Two Component System.
It is like a standard Airless Spray Equipment except three hydraulic
cylinders driven by single common Air Motor. The Air Motor designed by
VR Coatings ensures balanced tilt free operation of three material
pumps resulting in reduced wear & tear. Mixing ratio is decided by
capacity of the 3 cylinders. By simply exchanging any one of the
cylinders, new mixing ratio can be accomplished effectively and
quickly. Output per cycle up to 500 cc, pressure ratio up to 75:1 and
mixing ratio ranging from 1:1 to 10:1 is consummated by this pump.
Infact this pump is designed and constructed to achieve most mixing
ratios with related parameters as required. These pumps can be equipped
with Ø300mm or Ø350mm Air motor. Air Motor has pneumatic sensing
and changeover with only two moving parts. It has compact and robust
design and easy maintenance. Pneumatic Sensing & Direction
Changeover with only two moving parts gives -
Quick stroke change over & pulsation free output.
-
High durability and life.
-
Less maintenance / Breakdown.
-
Easy for troubleshooting and repair.
-
Less down time in case of breakdown.

| Mixing Block / Manifold |
|
|
Mixing Block is mainframe mounted. For the
applications which have extremely short pot life it can be located
directly where the coating is being applied. Both the components that
are individually metered and delivered by Two Component Pump, are mixed
in this Mixing Block incorporated with numbers of Non Return Valves.
Return Line from the Mixing Block goes back to the tank in case of
circulated system. VRC designed Mixing Block has following features: -
It is Equipped with four NRV''s and four pneumatic valves. Very compact and robust.
-
Effective flushing of mixing block and mixed
material by two separate solvent valves for base and activator. In case
of diverse viscosities and single common solvent valve, solvent may
channel by pushing through less viscosity component and keeping higher
viscous component in mixing block as well as leaving coating of mixed
fluid on the inner tube of hose. This is avoided by providing two
individual solvent valves for base and activator
-
Solvent (of previous flush cycle) gets wiped out by spray material in first pass. (Useful for solvent less 2K PU material)
-
All valve seats & balls (including NRV) are in Tungsten Carbide.
-
Easy for maintenance.
-
Modular design of mixing block provides maintenance and cleaning frequency is very low and less downtimes.
-
Manually operated Ball Valves can be provided instead of pneumatic valves with all above design features if desired.

| Mixers - Static / Dynamic |
|
|
| Mostly static mixers are used. These mixers consist of a series of left
hand & right hand helical elements. When fluids are pumped through
mixer they are progressively divided and recombined. The process is
called inversion and results in a layering phenomenon. All contact
parts are in Stainless Steel and are rigid, reliable and compatible
with heated material. Diameter and length of the mixer depends upon
material specifications.
|
| ............................................................................................................................................................. |
| Flush pump |
|
|
| This is the standard Airless High Pressure Pump with pressure ratio
ranging from 40:1 to 60:1 and output per cycle from 70 to 110cc used in
Two Component Systems to rinse the whole system. Selection of flush
pump depends on material to be flushed and hose lengths.
|
| ............................................................................................................................................................. |
| Heating system |
|
|
This may consist of inline fluid heaters,
heated supply containers, heated hoses. VRC offers high-pressure inline
fluid heaters to heat each individual component to the required
temperature. Each heater is available with power 3 KW max, operating
pressure 450 bar and temperature up to 100°C.These heaters are compact
and rigid.
Oil heated Jacketed Containers are offered by VRC to
preheat the component individually as per material specification. They
are available in different capacities upto 200ltr.These container has
power ranging upto 12KW and temperature range up to 100°C. This is
controlled and monitored by PID based Control Panel.
VRC offers electrically heated hoses where material has to be
sprayed at high temparature.In some cases insulated hose can be used
instead of heated hose again depending on application, material
specification and ambient temperature.
|
| ............................................................................................................................................................. |
| Feed pump and supply system |
|
|
Feeding pumps are used to feed the component from supply tank to Two
Component pump. VRC offers various feed pumps from its standard pump
range depending on the material specifications.
Separate feed
pumps can be used to transfer material from supplier''s drum to supply
containers of Two Component System. Drumpress with Hoisting Unit can be
used for transferring high viscous materials.
Agitators may also
be used depending upon the application and type of the material. VRC
offers electrical driven high torque agitator for viscous material.
Pneumatic agitator is also available where torque requirement is less.
|
| ............................................................................................................................................................. |
| Monitoring and control system |
|
|
| The monitoring system is required to keep a check against off mixing
ratio of the Two Component system. VRC offers pressure monitoring
system; which helps in automatic shut down of the machine. This
malfunction may be because of internal / external leakages, material
deficiency, damaged seal etc. Automatic ''switching off'' of the system
prevents reworks caused due to off mixing ratio. Sophisticated
additional controls can be provided as per customer requirements.
|

| Spray guns |
|
|
| Trigger operated and insulated handle spray guns are used to apply
coatings manually. For automatic spraying pneumatically operated
automatic guns are used. High-pressure spray gun has working pressure
up to 450 bars with carbide seat and needle. For semi solid spray
higher seat bore size is recommended.
