Frequent roof coating is essential for the maintenance of a flat-roofed building. However, this process can be quite complex, and requires ample man-hours and specialized tools to complete successfully.
Roof coating equipment and machines are crucial for obtaining maximum efficiency, durability, and uniformity - all of which will ensure long-lasting and high-performing energy-efficient roof coatings.
Roof Coating Equipment Available at Bolair
Here at Bolair, we provide versatile machines for roof coating, with a range of technical specifications to best meet your project's requirements:
- Roof Coating Proportioners: Proportioners are the most technical component of an integrated roof coating machine. They measure and control the correct ratio and with added heat, the viscosity of the coating materials to ensure proper roof coating application.
- Roof Coating Guns: Spray guns are controlled by the operator and they are robust, heavy duty and high flow. There are a variety of tip and module sizes available for varying output applications.
- Roof Coating Sprayers: These complete spray systems include both a proportioner and spray gun, as well as any accessory components such as hoses and agitators. They're often portable for ease of use at the job site.
Parameters and Specifications for Selecting Roof Coating Machines
Roof coating tools and machines are each designed slightly differently to accommodate unique functionalities, and understanding these differences and your specific project requirements is necessary before purchasing any equipment.
In general, coating equipment can be categorized based on the materials they're compatible with, their supported pressure ratings, and their fluid capacities.
Material Compatibility
Coatings can vary in their viscosities and intended function. For example, polyurethane coatings are typically used for weatherproofing roofs, but require the mixing of multiple materials (A and B components) for proper adhesion and performance. In this instance, a plural-component sprayer will be needed.
Knowing which material you'll be working with is the first step in deciding on a roof coating machine.
Pressure Ratings and Capacities
Fluid pressure and working pressure are factors that should also always be considered, as these values determine how much maximum power a roof coating rig has, as well as how many guns can be simultaneously operated.
The higher this value, the more capable a machine is. Capacity is also known as flow rate, and its value determines how much material can exit the spray gun in a certain time interval.
