Hosco Site Identifies Cost of Dirt in Class-A Paint Shops
Hosco Fittings LLC (Wixom, Mich) has just posted a new, expanded version of its website that addresses the causes and inherant costs of dirt in paint for high-production Class-A paint shops.

Hosco Restrictor/Regulator Enables Control of Spray Flow Rates
Hosco’s HHR-6 restrictor/regulator enables users to consistently and precisely control flow rates from 100 cc/min to 1,000 cc/min with little regard for head pressure or gun level changes.

Hose Connectors and Fittings
Hosco's new Tru-Fit "Low Shear" design connection fittings for paint and coatings systems eliminates the blunt-end shelf found in conventional fittings, reducing the potential for dirt in paint defects. According to the company, the fittings offer up to 50% lower wrenching forces to make a leak-free assembly.

Pressure Relief Valve Saves Production Shut Downs and Cost
Hosco Finishing Systems Components’ new Hosco BPV-150 Mechanical Pressure Relief Valve is said to relieve paint and solvent circulating system pressure in the event of system over-pressurization.

Mini Ball Valves
Hosco’s new HBV series of stainless steel mini ball valves for compact paint delivery applications are designed as an economical alternative to standard ball valves, able to lessen engineering problems for compact installations such as robot arms, enclosures and bulkhead plates.

Paint Line Connection Fittings
Hosco’s new family of stainless steel Tru-Fit low shear paint line connection fittings are designed to enhance finish quality, reduce system pressure loss and improve the ease and ergonomics of installation procedures while furthering overall operational safety.

Proper planning can help make your paint operations productive from cradle to grave

Three-Way Ball Valve
