As an indispensable equipment in the construction of modern road traffic facilities, road marking machines have an impact on the quality and efficiency of road marking in terms of the width of the marking, the type of paint, the flexibility of operation and additional features.
So consider what your needs are when buying a road marking machine.
Scribing width adjustment: to adapt to a variety of scenarios
The internationally accepted standard for road marking width is 15cm, which ensures the standardization and uniformity of road marking. However, given the wide range of applications for marking machines in parking lots, neighborhoods, sports lawns and many other venues, it is especially important to purchase a marking machine with width adjustment. These machines are usually able to flexibly adjust the width of marking within the range of 5 to 15 centimeters, which not only meets the marking needs of different places, but also effectively avoids the waste of paint and improves cost-effectiveness.
Choice of paint types: broadening the scope of business
Paint is the key material for the operation of marking machine, which is mainly divided into solvent and water-soluble type. Solvent-based paint dries quickly and has strong adhesion, and is suitable for conventional road marking; while water-soluble paint is more environmentally friendly and is suitable for places with high environmental requirements, such as sports field lawns. If the marking machine is compatible with these two types of paint, it will greatly broaden its business scope and meet more diversified customer needs.
Hand-held spray gun: a new choice for flexible operation
The importance of the hand-held spray gun as an auxiliary tool of the marking machine is becoming more and more prominent. It can not only help the operator to freely use the template spraying a variety of symbols, but also in the walls, columns and other non-ground areas for operation, greatly enhancing the flexibility and applicability of the scribing machine. With the development of technology, hand-held spray gun has become the standard configuration of various types of marking machine, and become a key factor in improving operational efficiency and quality.
Cleaning system: the guarantee of efficient maintenance
The automatic cleaning system is another important innovation of the scribing machine. It can quickly clean the pipeline system after each operation, effectively reducing the time and labor intensity of manual cleaning, improve work efficiency. For the frequent operation of the marking machine, this function is undoubtedly an important guarantee for its long-term stable operation.
Glass bead system: improve the quality of marking
Glass bead spreading system is one of the standard configurations of modern road maintenance companies. By spraying glass beads, the system can significantly improve the reflective performance and night visibility of road markings, thus ensuring driving safety. The glass beads spreading system in line with national standards is an important guarantee for the quality of road marking.
Curve operation ability: to cope with complex terrain
For companies that need to work on curvy roads or complex terrain, a road marking machine with cornering capability is the preferred choice. These machines are often fitted with an extra wheel at the rear to increase their stability and flexibility on curved markings. In addition, some high-end scribers come with this feature, which allows them to handle complex terrain without additional configuration.
Drum design: safety and efficiency in two considerations
The drum of a marking machine not only holds the paint, but is also one of its power sources. Pressurized by an air compressor, the drum is transformed into a pressurized air tank to power the marking work. Therefore, the sealing, safety and corrosion resistance of the drums are key factors that users must consider. Stainless steel drums are favored for their excellent corrosion resistance and durability, and some of them even meet the American ASME standard, ensuring the safety and reliability of the equipment.
Spraying method: to meet different needs
Currently on the market, there are two main spitting methods for marking machines: line spraying box and spray gun. Spray line box is more affordable, suitable for sports field lawn and general parking lot and other simple scenes; while the spray gun has become a strictly professional tool with its high precision and flexibility, although the price of the nozzle is relatively high, but in the complexity and fineness of the delineation of the work of the outstanding performance. Users can choose the right type of spray gun according to actual needs.
By deeply understanding the various characteristics of road marking machines and choosing the model that suits their needs, the quality and efficiency of road marking will be effectively enhanced, contributing to traffic safety and urban development.
