C.A. Technologies Techline Agitators
Reliable Mixing for Consistent Finishing Materials
C.A. Technologies Techline agitators provide dependable,
air-powered mixing for professional and industrial spray-finishing
systems. Available configurations support pressure tanks, pails, drums,
and other material containers where coatings must remain uniformly mixed
during application.
Proper agitation helps keep pigments and solids in suspension, supporting
consistent color, viscosity, material delivery, and film build. Depending
on the model, Techline agitators are available with direct-drive or
gear-reduced operation for materials with different mixing requirements.
Key Features
-
Air-Powered Operation:
Designed for use with a properly regulated compressed-air supply
-
Adjustable Mixing Speed:
Allows agitation to be matched to the coating and container
-
Multiple Drive Options:
Direct-drive and gear-reduced configurations are available
-
Multiple Container Sizes:
Selected models support 5-gallon pails, pressure tanks, and
55-gallon drums
-
Mounting Options:
Available configurations include clamp-mount and lid-mount designs
-
Professional Construction:
Shaft, impeller, and wetted-component materials vary by model and
application
Professional Applications
- Paint shops and industrial finishing operations
- Cabinet, furniture, and architectural millwork finishing
- Automotive and transportation-component coating
- Metal fabrication and general manufacturing
- Primers, sealers, topcoats, and compatible specialty finishes
- Compatible solvent-borne and waterborne coating systems
Match the Agitator to the Material
Agitator selection depends on the container size, coating viscosity,
solids content, required mixing speed, mounting method, shaft length, and
impeller design. Wetted-component compatibility should also be confirmed
before placing an agitator into service.
A properly selected agitator helps prevent pigment separation and
inconsistent material delivery without introducing unnecessary air or
excessive movement into the coating.
Keep Your Coating Consistent
AirSprayTech can help match the appropriate C.A. Technologies Techline
agitator to your coating, container, production requirements, and
available compressed-air supply.

Tech Corner: Paint Conditioning
Prepare the Coating Before You Prepare to Spray
Before picking up the spray gun, ask one important question:
Is the coating ready to spray?
The surface may be prepared, the work area masked, and the spray
equipment properly adjusted—but an inadequately conditioned coating can
still produce poor atomization, inconsistent color, uneven film build,
and avoidable finish defects.
What Is Paint Conditioning?
Paint conditioning is the process of preparing a coating so it can
perform as its manufacturer intended. Depending on the material, this may
include confirming shelf life, bringing the coating to the recommended
application temperature, thoroughly mixing settled components, reducing
to the specified viscosity, observing induction time, and straining the
material before spraying.
Always consult the coating manufacturer's technical data sheet for the
correct temperature range, mixing ratio, reducer, viscosity, induction
time, pot life, and application requirements.
Confirm the Coating Temperature
-
Determine whether the coating was stored in a cold or unusually warm
shop, warehouse, or vehicle
-
Recognize that coating temperature affects viscosity, material flow,
atomization, film build, and curing
-
Bring the coating into the manufacturer's recommended application
temperature range before mixing or spraying
-
Allow sufficient time for the entire container—not merely the
surface—to reach the proper temperature
Use Inventory Within Its Approved Shelf Life
-
Follow the FIFO principle: First In, First Out
-
Check the batch number, manufacture date, expiration date, and
storage requirements
-
Do not use a coating that is beyond its approved shelf life without
direction from the coating manufacturer
-
Inspect previously opened containers for contamination, skinning,
gelling, separation, or other signs of deterioration
Mix the Coating Thoroughly
-
Restore uniform suspension:
The material near the bottom of the container should have the same
composition as the material near the top
-
Select the proper mixing equipment:
Use an appropriate paddle mixer, air-powered agitator, or other
manufacturer-approved mixing device
-
Avoid excessive agitation:
Overmixing can introduce air, create foam, generate heat, or damage
shear-sensitive materials
-
Observe specified mixing ratios:
Accurately measure multicomponent coatings and follow any required
induction time
-
Maintain consistency during production:
Properly selected agitation can help prevent settling during extended
spray cycles
Agitate Safely
Confirm that the mixer, agitator, container, air supply, and installation
are compatible with the coating and work area. Follow applicable
grounding, ventilation, fire-protection, and hazardous-location
requirements. Air-powered equipment does not automatically certify a
complete installation for use in every hazardous location.
Need the Right Mixing Equipment?
AirSprayTech can help match an agitator, mixer, pressure tank, regulator,
or material-delivery system to your coating, container size, production
rate, and finishing requirements.
