83C-211-CE & 83Z-211-CE PRESSURE TANK (WATERBORNE
Small Tank - Up To 9.5 litres (2.8 US Gallons) with Air
IMPORTANT: Read and follow all instructions and SAFETY PRECAUTIONS before
using this equipment. Retain for future reference.
DESCRIPTION
These Pressure Tanks are CE marked in
accordance with the Pressure Equipment
Directive 97/23/EC and ATEX Directive
94/9/EC Cat 2 G X for use in Zones 1 and 2.
They are suitable for use with flammable
and waterbased materials (SS only).
The agitators are CE marked to ATEX
Directive 94/9/EC Cat 1/2 Gc T4.
These pressure tanks are designed as a
pressure container to supply liquid material at
a constant preset pressure up to a maximum
of 5.5 bar (80 psi). An Air driven agitator is
fitted to provide variable speed agitation of the
coating material. The tanks are built to ASME
specifications. 83C models are constructed
from electro-zinc plated carbon steel. 83Z
models have stainless steel fluid passages
and lid A polyethylene liner is included for
easy clean up.
Models:
83C-211-CE: Single regulation, air driven
agitator assembly, electro-zinc plated carbon
steel construction lid and shell..

aluminium parts and components and cause
an explosion hazard. These solvents will also
corrode the galvanized tank coating. Read the
label or data sheet for the material. Do not use
materials containing these solvents with these
pressure tanks.
Refer to specifications chart to ensure that
fluids and solvents being used are chemically
compatible with the tank wetted parts. Before
placing fluids or solvents in tank, always read
accompanying manufacturer's literature and
MSDS.
Air pressure loads that are higher than design
loads, or changes to the pressure feed tank
can cause the tank to rupture or explode.
A safety valve protects the tank from over
pressurization. During each use pull the ring
on the safety valve to make sure it operates
freely and relieves air pressure. If the valve is
stuck, does not operate freely, or does not
relieve air pressure, it must be replaced. Do

Changes to the air tank will weaken it. Never
drill into, weld or change the tank in any way.

Static electricity is created by the flow of fluid
through the pressure tank and hose. If all
parts are not properly grounded, sparking may
occur. Sparks can ignite vapours from

Pressure Relief Procedure
High pressure can cause a serious injury.
Pressure is maintained in a pressure tank
after the system has been shut down. Before
attempting removal the cover, pressure must
be relieved using the following steps:
1. Turn off the main air supply to the tank.
2. Close air inlet valve located on tank air
manifold.
3. Bleed off air in the tank by turning the air
relief valve thumb screw counterclockwise.
Wait until all the air has escaped through the
or
valve before removing the pressure tank
cover.
4. Leave the air relief valve open until you
have reinstalled the cover.
