GLADIATOR SPARTACUS, the most efficient, versatile and multifunctional portable technology to protect surfaces by applying multiple anti-corrosive, functional systems

Gladiator Spartacus is:

  • Compact
  • Portable, easy to carry
  • Multifunction thanks to 3 different coating powder supplies
    - supply by means of a Venturi system connected to the special IBIX extruded aluminium tank (non-pressure mode)
    - supply under pressure via the special IBIX extruded aluminium tank (pressure mode)
    - supply by means of a Venturi pump with the special IBIX-FluidBed tank (optional)
  • Versatile thanks to three application guns with different flow rates, fully interchangeable
  • The application process can be easily controlled by means of the regulators located on the control switch on the belt.

System description

Power
The device is powered by regular LPG and compressed dry air (6 bar at inlet – flow rate of 1000 litre/minute or more).

Air comes into the machine after going through the regulating filter supplied; then, it is fed to the gun through the specific pneumatic pipes:

  • The LPG/compressed air mix flow can be adjusted by means of the belt regulator so as to fit the flame to the task to be performed *
  • The coating powder air jet can be adjusted by means of the belt regulator so as to increase or reduce the quantity of powder delivered *
  • Air to control the powder ON/OFF switch on the gun

For the micrometric adjustment of the quantity of powder delivered for some types of very fine granulometry powders, double adjustment has been provided for:

  • Adjustment at the special IBIX tank outlet by means of a micrometric screw located on the tank itself, or by means of a remote control (optional) through the specific push-buttons located next to the adjustment switch (see picture)
  • Adjustment by means of a pneumatic regulator located on the adjustment switch itself

Application Guns
The three guns (Special Spartacus (medium-sized), high-flow and small) are fully interchangeable

New
Small gun with cold air supply via Vortex system in the following versions

  • Small straight gun with aluminium hand-grip and trigger
  • Small straight gun with straight aluminium hand-grip and powder control switch
  • Small 90° gun
  • Small 45° gun for coating hard-to-reach areas or confined spaces

Accessories

  • Infrared PYROMETER with laser pointer to remotely check at all times the preheating temperature and the coating temperature of the object being treated
  • Quanix THICKNESS GAUGES: non-destructive gauges to measure the thickness of coatings on either ferrous or non-ferrous substrates
  • PREHEATING AUXILIARY SYSTEMS, useful for coatings on particularly thick structures or in extremely cold weather conditions
