PRODUCT USAGE

Our Textile Cleaning Spray Guns have primarily been developed for spot removal of dirt, oil stains and other spots from textile fabrics and garments, mainly at the manufacturing stage. Solvents are sprayed at high pressure and velocity at the dirt spots, helping to shoot the dirt out from the fabric thereby removing the stains, without damaging the fabric. The spray velocity can be adjusted by the user, making it highly versatile in usage, as different fabrics require different levels of pressure to enable them to be cleaned without any damage.
The versatility of our Textile Cleaning Spray Guns allows for a wide spectrum of uses. The product can be used in areas like cleaning of textile fabrics, in the printing industry for cleaning of typesets and rollers, electronic industry for cleaning of PCBs, manufacturing industry for cleaning areas of machines which are not easily accessible, electronic/electrical industry for contact cleaning (with the power switched off), hair wigs industry / wig shops for cleaning of hair bases, for spraying pesticides on plants, rocks, stone slabs, tiles cleaning etc.


Product Models

Our Textile Cleaning Spray Guns are available in four models as detailed below:-

1. CM11 / TS11 / CK 11 – This Spray Gun is designed in highly buffed aluminium alloy housing for rugged usage. This comes with a straight spray nozzle, which delivers a straight-line spray, which makes it more ideal for thick and medium woven fabrics where the spray velocity required is on the higher side. This is more suited for application in areas where fewer type of fabrics are to be cleaned.
   
   
2. CM11A / TS11A / CK11A – This spray Gun is also similar to the construction of the CM11, with a change of nozzle. This comes equipped with an Adjustable nozzle, thereby giving the user a twin adjustment of the spray pressure and velocity, one on the spray gun itself, and the other, on the nozzle. This gives the Gun a much finer control of the spray pressure and velocity, making it suitable for all type of fabrics from delicate and fine fabrics to thick and closely woven fabrics. The pressure adjustment on the nozzle is done in a step less movement also allowing the user to control the solvent outflow and area of spray.
   
   
3. CM16 / TS16 / CK16 – This Spray Gun is designed in Glass Filled Nylon Plastic body, in attractive body colour. The construction is light weight but highly resistant to impact and heat. This model comes equipped with a nozzle delivering straight-line spray as in the CM11, with the areas of usage also being similar to that of the CM11.
   
   
4. CM16A / TS16A / CK16A– This Spray Gun is similar to CM16, but is fitted with the Adjustable Nozzle. The design of the nozzle remains same as that used in the CM11A, thereby giving it the same area of usage as that of the CM11A, but of lighter weight due to the change in body construction material. Usage of Solvents

TEXTILE CLEANING SPRAY GUNS

Our Spray Guns have been designed using the best of materials to give the user a long trouble free and safe usage. Please read the following instructions fully and carefully before use.Our Textile Cleaning Spray Guns are primarily designed to use suitable solvents like Trichloroethane 1.1.1 as the solvent material. Please check the availability of the same in your area. Our Textile Cleaning Spray Guns deliver a solvent spray of high pressure and velocity and as such necessary precautions have to be followed in handling the unit.

Pre Usage Precautions

1. Please check the voltage rating marked on the unit and check its compatibility with the voltage rating in your area before plugging in the equipment. For e.g. If the voltage rating marked on the Unit is 220V AC, 50 / 60Hz then the unit is suitable only in areas where the supplied voltage rating is of 220V AC.


2. Please ensure that the area where the unit is to be used is well ventilated.


3. Please ensure the absence of other equipments with open flames or sparks near the area of usage.


4. Please ensure that the unit is used in a no smoking zone.


5. Keep the spray gun in a flat surface or hang on a spring tensioner when it is not used.

Usage Directions:

1. Plug in the unit into a suitable power socket. The unit is usually supplied with a electric wire of 3 meters length.
   
   
2. Unscrew the solvent jar from the unit and fill the required solvant in it. Screw the solvent jar back tightly to prevent spillage. Before filling the solvent jar, ensure that the solvent jar is free from any loose dirt / objects, which can enter the system and damage the unit.
   
   
3. DO NOT RUN THE UNIT WITHOUT SOLVENT, IT WILL CAUSE DAMAGE THE COMPONENTS IN IT.
   
   
4. In the case of CM11, TS11, CK11, CM16, TS16 and CK16 models, remove the protective plastic cap from the nozzle by pulling it out, before usage. Switching on the unit without removing this cap can cause damage to the unit and injury to the user. Please keep the cap carefully for later usage.
   
   
5. For cleaning Textiles, sort out the fabrics to be cleaned into thick / closely woven, medium woven, light / loose woven fabrics. The spray pressure has to be adjusted to suit different fabrics. For cleaning any other items, please select the spray velocity as needed to clean that item.
   
   
6. Turn the pressure-control knob at the back of the unit clockwise by around one turn to set it to a initial low pressure setting. Do not close it fully.
   
   
7. Point the unit away from the user or any other person or animal standing nearby, before switching on the unit. Failure to do so can seriously injure the person / animal.
   
   
8. It is recommended that the spray velocity be checked by spraying in open air before actual usage on any item to determine the spray velocity setting required. The spray can be adjusted as needed and then the unit can be used for cleaning the items.
   
   
9. Keeping the unit upright, point the nozzle towards the fabric / item to be cleaned and switch on the gun by pressing the trigger switch. The trigger switch is of the press to on / release to off type. The unit can be switched off by removing the finger from the switch.
   
   
10. The unit normally takes a few seconds to prime and begin to spray the solvent.
    
    
11. The unit vibrates while in operation and this is the normal working condition. A certain degree of sound is also generated.
    
    
12. If the unit does not spray the solvent, turn the pressure-control knob anticlockwise.
    
    
13. Once the unit begins to spray the solvent, adjust the spray pressure by adjusting the pressure control knob clockwise / anticlockwise. Turning the knob anticlockwise increases the pressure and is more suitable for thick fabrics, while turning the knob clockwise, decreases the pressure, and is more suitable for lighter fabrics.
    
    
14. If the unit is fitted with the adjustable nozzle (in models CM11A, CM16A, TS11A, TS16A, CK11A and CK16Aonly), the spray velocity and spread can be further adjusted by turning the adjustment knob on the nozzle. The nozzle is capable of delivering a fine mist spray to a piercing straight-line spray, by making suitable adjustments.
    
    
15. Maintain a distance of between 5-40 centimeters between the nozzle and the fabric / item depending on the type and thickness of the fabric, nature of item, nature of spot / stain, and pressure adjusted.
    
    
16. Rinse out the dirt stain / clean the item by spraying the solvent in a circular manner moving from outside of the stain / dirt patch to the inside.
    
    
17. Once the stain has been removed, release the trigger switch to switch off the unit.
