Precision Arc 4.8
High Energy High Deposition Metalizing
Recomended Use: Large Scale onsite/field use requiring ultra high production and portability. Can be operated manually or automated using 3/16" (4.763 mm) diameter Aluminium, Zinc/Aluminium (85/15) or Zinc wires.
The Precision Arc 4.8 utilizes our Arc Shorting Control Technology. In the early 90s this patented technology vaulted Thermion to the forefront of High Production Arc Spray.
It was the first Twin Wire Arc Spray System or metalizing system to reliably spray large diameter materials, to include 3/16" (4.763 mm) diameter pure zinc, 3/16" (4.763 mm) diameter aluminum and their alloys, for field application of corrosion coatings. The earlier model of this system was developed for spraying bridges. Typically, the bridge model would spray at 400-450 amps. The Precision Arc 4.8 is designed to spray at 650 amps which results in a 42% increase in production.
Whether it is TSA (thermal sprayed aluminum) or TSZ (thermal sprayed zinc) the large scale metalizing projects which are being done for the corrosion market have been increasing each year because of Thermion unique technology. The major growth industries for metalizing include Oil and Gas such as refineries and off-shore structures, wind towers, municipal water towers, a variety of Military applications and many applications by the Army Corps of Engineers in our nation's water ways.
Features
All components are factory built to be "plug and play": no tools are needed when connecting components. Connection errors have been eliminated because each fitting is unique to itself.

The advantage of Big Wire Metallizing is extremely valuable especially when it comes to the field application of pure zinc, pure aluminum or 85/15 or zinc/aluminum alloy. Contractors have claimed one machine spraying 3/16" (4.763 mm) diameter wire will accomplish more work than two machines spraying 1/8" (3.175 mm) diameter wire at the same energy level. This is where the term “Low Energy High Deposition” comes from. The Precision Arc is a High Deposition Process, whereas high deposit efficiency is achieved at high amperage levels. With the ability of the Precision Arc 4.8 to spray at 650 amps you can deposit 58% more material per hour of production than a machine spraying 1/8" (3.175 mm) material at 400 amps. This relates to an increase from a deposition of 37 kg per hour to 86 kg per hour. "Clearly the highest production metalizing (arc spray) machine on the market!"
