A pavement marking machine is normally composed of engine, air compressor, paint bucket(kettle for heating and melting paint), spray gun, guide rod, controller, die shoe, dispenser and other devices. Driving carrier to provide power is also a must.
Engine
Most of roadway striping equipment adopt engine as the driving force, while some use battery or liquefied gas. The power range of the appliable engines is about 2.5HP to 20HP. Generally speaking, the better the engine, the better the performance of entire marker device. If adopting the battery as the driving force, the running time each charge shall not be less than 7 hours.
Air Compressor
Air compressor is also one of the main parts that affect the performance for the whole line marking machine, especially for those conducting spraying by air pressure. Overall, The bigger the emission of air compressor, the better the performance of marking equipment.
Paint Bucket
In terms of line making machine, paint bucket has two main functions. One is to carry the molten paint; the size of its capacity will affect the progress of operation. The other function is as a pressure vessel, which can become the driving force of the striping work. In this sense, the sealing, safety, corrosion resistance are the important properties that the user should be concerned.
Spray Gun
Using the hand-held spray gun not only allows you to freely use the template to paint various symbols, but also can work on walls, columns and other places other than the ground. Hand-held spray guns have gradually become the standard configuration of various marking equipment.
Cleaner
Some strip marking devices are equipped with an automatic cleaner, which can quickly clean the pipeline system after each end of work, your cleaning work can therefore save more than half of the time.
Glass Bead Spreader
The road maintenance company should also consider configuring the glass bead spreader as a standard configuration. The spreader can spray glass beads to make the marking construction fully meet the higher requirements.
Glass bead, a kind of colorless and transparent ball, has function of light refraction. Glass bead mixed in the coating or dispensed throughout the coating surface can reflect car light back to the driver's eyes, thus greatly improving the visibility of marking lines. The headlights flash on such marking lines can reflex back in parallel, so the driver could see the forward way clearly and the security is thus raised at night.
