WAGNER IceBreaker Wildcat 18-40 High-Pressure Piston Pump

Reliable Stainless-Steel Pumping Power for Professional AirCoat Applications

The WAGNER IceBreaker Wildcat 18-40 is a high-pressure pneumatic piston pump engineered for professional AirCoat applications. Its compact design, stainless-steel fluid section, steady material delivery, and low-pulsation operation make it well suited for production environments and professional finishing workshops.

With an 18:1 pressure ratio, maximum working pressure of 2,103 PSI, and maximum material flow rate of 0.64 GPM, the Wildcat 18-40 delivers the dependable performance required for professional coating applications.

The pump supports up to five spray guns with 0.009-inch tips or up to two spray guns with 0.013-inch tips, depending on the coating, hose configuration, air supply, and operating conditions.

Features and Benefits

• Uniform material flow: Low-pulsation delivery supports consistent atomization and professional coating results.
• IceBreaker air-motor design: The air motor is engineered to reduce ice formation and help prevent performance loss during continuous operation.
• Stainless-steel fluid section: Provides durability, chemical resistance, and compatibility with a broad range of coating materials.
• PE/TG packing configuration: Provides dependable sealing performance for compatible coating applications.
• Self-adjusting packings: Help maintain reliable pump performance while reducing routine packing adjustment.
• Ergonomic air controls: Operating controls are integrated into the compact maintenance unit for straightforward adjustment and operation.
• Accessible separating-agent chamber: Simplifies inspection and routine pump maintenance.
• Service-friendly fluid section: The fluid section can be removed for maintenance independently of the air motor, helping reduce service time.
• Multiple-gun capability: Supports up to five guns with 0.009-inch tips or two guns with 0.013-inch tips when properly configured.
• Compact professional design: Fits single-item coating stations, workshops, and production finishing environments.

Coating Compatibility

The stainless-steel fluid section is suitable for compatible water-based and solvent-based coatings. It can also process base materials and catalysts, premixed two-component materials, and moisture-sensitive materials when properly configured.

Material compatibility depends on the specific formulation, viscosity, solids content, chemical composition, required flow rate, and selected packing arrangement. Confirm compatibility before placing the pump into service.

Recommended Applications

• Professional AirCoat finishing
• Single-item coating stations
• Industrial production workshops
• Metal finishing
• Wood finishing
• Furniture and cabinet finishing
• Machinery and equipment components
• Water-based coating applications
• Solvent-based coating applications
• Premixed two-component materials

Multiple-Gun Capability

The Wildcat 18-40 can support multiple spray guns when the coating, tip sizes, hose lengths, pressure settings, and compressed-air supply are properly matched.

• Up to five guns: Using 0.009-inch tips
• Up to two guns: Using 0.013-inch tips

Actual gun capacity may vary with coating viscosity, material pressure, hose length, pressure loss, spray-tip condition, and production requirements. Review the complete application before selecting components.

Bare-Pump Configuration

Important: This product is a bare pump with PE/TG packings. The wall-mount bracket, cart, air-control assembly, outlet filter, siphon hose, spray gun, fluid hose, air hose, spray tip, and other system components are sold or selected separately.

See the available accessories to build a complete system for your application. Every component must be compatible with the coating and rated for the pump’s maximum working pressure.
