Extensions & Rollers
Airless rollers and extensions are components used in airless painting applications to cover larger or difficult to reach surfaces. While high-pressure atomization is common in airless guns, airless rollers and extensions allow you to apply paint or coatings to walls, ceilings and other surfaces efficiently and evenly. Here is some important information about airless trainers and extensions:
- Airless Rollers: Airless rollers are similar to traditional paint rollers, but are designed to be connected to a high pressure paint source, such as an airless pump. This allows you to apply the paint evenly even on larger surfaces.
- Airless Extensions: Airless extensions are telescopic rods or handles that attach to airless rollers or airless spray guns. The extensions allow you to reach high surfaces or in places that are difficult to access, such as corners or confined spaces.
- Flow of Material: The extensions and airless rollers are connected to the airless pump, which provides the continuous flow of paint or coating. This eliminates the need to keep dipping the roller in the paint.
- Benefits: The use of airless rollers and extensions can speed up the painting process on large surfaces, providing a uniform finish and reducing operator fatigue.
- Type of Materials: Airless rollers and extensions can be used with a variety of materials, including water-based paints, solvent-based paints, enamels, and other coatings.
- Maintenance: After use, it is important to thoroughly clean the rollers, extensions and other components to avoid hardening of the materials and to ensure optimal performance in the next application.
- Accessories: Some extensions can be equipped with extensions to further increase the reach and versatility of the equipment.
- Adapters and Connectors: Make sure extension cords and airless trainers have connectors that are compatible with the airless equipment being used.
Airless rollers and extensions are effective options for applying paint or coatings to walls, ceilings, and other large or hard-to-reach surfaces. Choosing high-quality rollers and extensions compatible with your airless equipment is essential for obtaining uniform and satisfactory painting results.
