Titan recently introduced a duo of high-flow, gas-powered roofing and protective coatings sprayers⁠—the Hydra X 4540 and Hydra X 7230. Equipped with Titan’s exclusive HydraStroke technology and Severe Service fluid section, these sprayers have new features including the company’s AutoLift system and a quick-change fluid section.

The Hydra X 4540, which is designed for heavy coatings like asphalt emulsion and acrylic roof coatings, supports up to six guns at pressures up to 4,500 psi (31.0 MPa). The Hydra X 7230, designed for harder-to-atomize materials like silicone roof coatings, supports up to five guns at pressures up to 7,200 psi (49.6 MPa). Both will easily spray standard architectural coatings, according to the company.

Features of the Technology

Offering strong durability and performance, Titan says its HydraStoke technology is an extremely efficient and electronically controlled hydraulic system. According to the company, it provides contractors versatility to spray both heavy- and light-bodied coatings, delivering a consistent and professional finish.

The hydraulic motor is optimized with just one moving part, reducing heat and extending the life of the sprayer while a two-stage cooling system keeps the unit running cool all day.

Titan’s Severe Service fluid section maximizes power and extends pump life with a slow stroking piston. This 45-year-old technology features a tri-chrome process that resists corrosion and abrasion while handling aggressive coatings with ease. It has been enhanced with a quick removal fluid section that enables one person to service it in the field using just two tools.

With the touch of a button, Hydra X sprayers are the only direct immersion sprayer systems with the AutoLift technology for raising the fluid section and hydraulic motor straight up. According to the company, that makes material changeovers much easier for both 55-gallon (208.2 L) drums and 5-gallon (18.9 L) buckets. It eliminates wrestling with bulky siphon tubes, and there is no need for a transfer pump. The technology can be operated with or without the gas engine running.

Additional System Benefits

These units feature balanced, ergonomic carts with large, 12-inch (30.5 cm) pneumatic tires. These provide greater mobility and easier travel over rough surfaces, according to the company, and they feature a curved design to fit with the diameter of a 55-gallon drum. A built-in storage tray holds tips, pins. and small tools, and the unit can be easily lifted by pressing on rear lift bars with a foot.

The Hydra X sprayers are outfitted with Honda’s powerful GX390 engine, which has a low-oil alert and electric start. They are backed by the extended Titan WearGuard plan, which includes a four-year manufacturing defect warranty.

“Now it’s possible to spray high solids coatings with even more efficiency,” said Chuck Flower, product manager for Titan. “Hydra X sprayers offer ultimate durability and unmatched power with proven Titan technologies like HydraStroke and Severe Service fluid section. The new AutoLift feature and quick-change fluid section also greatly simplify material changeovers and maintenance.”

The Hydra X is available now in the United States and Canada at professional equipment and industrial supply retailers. For more information, contact: Titan Tool, (800) 526-5362, www.titantool.com
