Dear costumer:
Our work at VALVER AIR SPEED involves manufacturing different painting equipment and
application systems for users and companies consuming varnishes and paints.
Specifically, the AIRBRUSH MANUAL EXTERNAL MIX EQUIPMENT guarantees absolute
compliance with product manufacturers’ instructions. It also guarantees a correct, uniform mix.
The mixture is prepared outside the equipment - no internal process – offering advantages in
cleaning and time, product and diluent savings. It is only used the solvent required to dilute the
mixture to be applied. The mixtures are accurate and the mixing ratio control is carried out by hand.
We offer automatic modules for mixture calibration depending upon the mixture percentages and the
nature of each product. If you are interested, do not hesitate to contact us.
The system and the TRIMIX® external mix heads have been developed by VALVER AIR
SPEED S.L. after a long term of investigation, development and tests carried out by our design and
R+D team. We have improved the existing heads in the market obtaining the catalyst or component B
mixture and integration together with the resin or component A. Thanks to a careful and studied
design with compressed air sprayer at both ends of the principal product´s output we have achieved a
perfect spray area for the colour application free from any imperfection.
The external mix has been tested with numerous products obtaining a perfect application
and full compliance with the characteristics of the product as indicated by the manufacturer. Due to
lack of knowledge concerning the whole range of two-component-chemicals available in the market,
unfortunately we cannot ensure all possible applications. Before purchasing external mix equipment
from VALVER AIR SPEED S.L. we recommend to carry out the necessary product tests prior to
production.
VALVER AIR SPEED thanks you for your trust in having chosen one of our products and
would like to inform you that if any problem should arise or simply a need for enquiries or
personalised advice, you should please get in touch with our company’s official technical and
maintenance service, as stated below:

1. EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The AIRBRUSH MANUAL EXTERNAL MIX EQUIPMENT is composed of two pumps.
The first pump is for resin and the type employed can be selected. The second pump for the
catalyser is a pressure tank.
A specially-prepared spray gun for combining and applying the two products. The
two products are always separated prior to their reaching the gun tip, where they are then
mixed by the air fan. This facilitates cleaning, as the equipment need not be cleaned at the
end of each task, and reduces solvent consumption considerably.

6. The gun (15) pressure can be adjusted using the air gun control (7).
7. Set the air gun control (7) to 0 bar to avoid splashing.
8. Open the resin valve (5) and adjust the resin pump air control (4).
9. Place the gun tip (19) in the nozzle of the resin test tube
(used for cleaning,
bleeding, recycling and calibration of mix percentage).
10. Squeeze the gun trigger (18) until resin begins to flow from the gun and the circuit
is loaded without air bubbles.
11. Close the resin valve (5) (dual membrane or pressure tank) before loading the
catalyser pump (8).
12. Make sure that there is no pressure in the catalyser pump (8) (pressure tank), keep
the catalyser air pump bleed cock (9) and open the Catalyser pump bleed (11)
(pressure tank).
13. Remove the top from the catalyser pump (8) (pressure tank) and fill the catalyser.

(used for
cleaning, bleeding, recycling and calibration of mix percentage) in order to recycle
and prime the catalyser circuit.
INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL
AIRBRUSH MANUAL EXTERNAL MIX EQUIPMENT
11
20. Squeeze the gun trigger (18) until resin begins to flow from the TRIMIX® mixer
head (17) and there are no air bubbles in the circuit. The residual pressure in the
resin pump (1) will force resin to flow for a few seconds.
21. Replace the TRIMIX® mixer head (17) in the gun (15).
The AIRBRUSH MANUAL EXTERNAL MIX EQUIPMENT is pressurised with material and
ready for calibration.
Recommendations.
Clean the AIRBRUSH MANUAL EXTERNAL MIX EQUIPMENT thoroughly after use. Proper
maintenance will extend the equipment’s useful life.
Always use the solvent recommended by the product’s manufacturer for cleaning the
equipment.
The gun should be left immersed in cleaning solvent when not in use. The solvent must not
touch the air valve, in order that the nozzle remains clean.
Clean the outside of the TRIMIX® mixture head (17) frequently when working and leave the
gun (15) hanging vertically from the gun hook (20) when not in use. Avoid leaving the gun

3.3. Calibration.
1. Start-up the equipment.
2. Close the Mixer air stopcock (14), close the Resin pump air stopcock (3) and
close the Catalyser pump air stopcock (9).
3. Prepare 2 calibrated test tubes
. For maximum accuracy, place each test tube on
scales and weigh. If no scales are available, use the test tubes to calibrate by
volume.
4. Remove the TRIMIX® mixer head (17) with the catalyser head tube (16).
5. Open the Mixer air stopcock (14), open the Resin pump air stopcock (3) and
open the Catalyser pump air stopcock (9).
6. Open the resin valve (5).
7. Regulate the resin pressure to 1 bar with the resin pump air control (4) and the
user adjusts the resin or component A output for the application on a bad
coating surface and counting the lack of catalyst output to be considered
depending on the mix percentage (If f. e. the product mix percentage is two parts
A for one part B and it is only applied resin in this set-up, the user has to consider
that 33% less product is outputted. Afterwards it will be incorporated while
adding the catalyst when the calibration process has been completed. The
regulation is done by opening the material needle regulator (23) until
adjusting the desired product output. This can also be adjusted by changing the
flow of the available needles 0.8 – 1.0 – 1.3 – 1.5 – 1.8 – 2.0 and as well by
increasing or decreasing the pressure with the resin pump air control (4). Our
recommendation is to start with 1 bar and adjust by opening the material
needle regulator (23) up to a maximum of three rotations. Having reached
three opening rotations at 1 bar without having obtained the required flow, the
material pressure has to be increased in steps of 0.2 bar. Once you have reached
2 bar and go further on without getting the required flow, the needle valve has
to be replaced immediately by the superior one and the calibration process has
to be repeated starting again at 1 bar. When the final user has achieved the
desired quantity of the component A it has to be started the final calibration of
the catalyst or component B.
8.
For that open the catalyser valve (12) and adjust the catalyst output pressure
with the catalyser pump air control (10) starting for the first calibration like in
the beginning with the resin at 1 bar.
9. Position the gun tip (19) in the resin measuring cylinder and position the
dismantled TRIMIX® mixer head (17) in the catalyst measuring cylinder. Close
the spray pressure inlet with the air inlet spray pressure regulator (22).
INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL
AIRBRUSH MANUAL EXTERNAL MIX EQUIPMENT
13
10. After that press the gun trigger (18) and fill the measuring cylinders up to the
desired quantity.
11. Check the volume proportion or the material weight with a balance and adjust
the proportion with the catalyser pump air control (10) at the pressure tank or
with the catalyser regulator (24) of the pistol. In case of two-componentproducts application with a small mix ratio the machine is equipped with a
micrometric valve (21). To adjust the mixture proportions directly with the
micrometric valve, please follow the guidance table and the advices:

This table facilitates and orientates only for the start-up procedure. Attention! It is neither an
orientation nor an exact formula, because these flows always may vary depending on viscosities, hose
length and material losses.
Advices
: After finishing step 6 and achieving the required quantity of component A it will be
proceeded to the final calibration of the catalyst or component B.
Therefore the flow per minute of the component A has to be controlled by a balance removing the
spray air from the pistol.
When we know the resin flow per minute selected by the user, for example 150g/min, we
have to multiply this with the catalyst or component B mix percentage expressed by the application
product manufacturer, for example 5% means 150 x 0.05 = 8g/min. Looking to the table we have two
consistent adjustment options.
Option 1. Feeding the pressure tank with the catalyser air pump control (10) with 0.5 bar and
turning the knob of the micrometric valve (21) 4 times starting at 0
Opción 2. . Feeding the pressure tank with the catalyser air pump control (10) with 0.8 bar and
turning the knob of the micrometric valve (21) 3 times starting at 0
If we aim for option 2 we get the more balanced valve regulation option, where the catalyst
pressure is closer to the resin pressure.
INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL
AIRBRUSH MANUAL EXTERNAL MIX EQUIPMENT

12. For the calibration adjustments follow the application product manufacturer
instructions. Repeat the calibration until getting the proportion as indicated by
the manufacturer.
Register the regulation parameters shown on the pages 14-15-
16 of this manual, paragraph SETTING UP EXTERNAL MANUAL MIX.
13. Close the mixer air stopcock (14), close the resin pump air stopcock (3) and
close the catalyser pump air stopcock (9) and recharge the deposits if
necessary.
14. Place the TRIMIX® mixer head (17) .
15. Open the mixer air stopcock (14), open the resin pump air stopcock (3) and
open the catalyser pump air stopcock (9) and the spray pressure with the air
inlet spray pressure regulator (22). Adjust the spray pressure according to the
nature of the product and user requirements with the air gun control (7).
16. Adjust the pressure with the air gun control (7) or with the spread regulator.
The AIRBRUSH MANUAL EXTERNAL MIX EQUIPMENT is calibrated and ready for use.
Recommendations.
Clean the AIRBRUSH MANUAL EXTERNAL MIX EQUIPMENT thoroughly after use. Proper
maintenance will extend the equipment’s useful life.
Always use the solvent recommended by the product’s manufacturer for cleaning the
equipment.

Maintenance.
1. Clean the TRIMIX® mixer head (17) frequently when in use.
2. Always leave the TRIMIX® mixer head (17) immersed in cleaning solvent. When left
unused for long periods, place in a tightly sealed recipient with solvent. This will
impede the evaporation of the solvent and the catalyser outlets becoming blocked
by any remaining residue.
3. Clean the equipment each day with the cleaning solvent recommended by the
manufacturer and which we applied to the resin pump (1) (dual membrane or
pressure tank) to avoid blockage from resin residue.
4. Clean the equipment each day with the cleaning solvent recommended by the
manufacturer and which we applied to the catalyser pump (8) (pressure tank) to
avoid blockage from the catalyser.
5. Check the gun, anti-pulsation chamber or absorption filters between the 1st and the
2nd cleaning.
6. Grease the exchange valves in dual membrane units ONCE PER WEEK when the
equipment is in use.
The equipment is to be subjected to an initial revision some 3 months after installation. This
check is to cover all the AIRBRUSH MANUAL EXTERNAL MIX EQUIPMENT’S spray
equipment, as well as the correct operation of all the equipment’s safety systems. If
everything is as it should be after the service check, further service checks are to be carried
out every six months until the end of the guarantee period. After the guarantee expires, the
frequency of service checks will be agreed with the client.

VISCOSITY EVOLUTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH SOLVENT-BASED PAINTS TERMPERATURE
We recommend reducing resin viscosity in order to obtain optimum curing of both the
mixture and the final finish. The viscosity and the temperature can be reduced without
adding emission-increasing solvents to the mixture, thus ensuring compliance with the
applicable legislation.
