Choosing the Right Texture Machine For Your Business
Are you buying a drywall texture machine for the first time or replacing an old one? In either case, choosing the right texture machine can be tricky. If chosen correctly, high-quality texture machines are sturdy and will last a lifetime. The right equipment will be an investment for your business. Our team at American Spray Technologies believes that choosing the right drywall sprayer depends on understanding the job requirements. Here are some tips to help you choose the right drywall machine.
Type of Materials You Will Use
One of the best ways to choose a texture machine is by evaluating the material you will be using it with. If you are a high-volume texturing contractor then a big rig is probably going to be best for you. On the other hand, if you are trying to pump a trickier material like fireproofing or cementitious materials, the Kodiak M2 is an option to look at. This portable machine is great for such materials.
Type of Power Available
If going electric, consider what power options are available at your spray site. A reliable and cost-effective power source will also help increase overall productivity. If you do not have access to a reliable power source, consider a model that works solely on gasoline.
Our big rig line has an electric option for contractors that work in tall high-rises or for setting up in a manufactured housing plant. The Kodiak M2 is a portable electric machine. If you are looking for a gas machine, we offer skid and trailer mounted options.
Number of Gallons You Will Use
When choosing a texture machine, you will also need to account for the amount of material sprayed per day. This is because the volume of gallons sprayed will help determine the size of the machine you should choose. A smaller machine may be best if you don’t spray multiple houses in a day. Opting for a larger machine can be better if you spray a higher volume at one time. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the amount of material used to help you pick the right size of the preferred texture machine.
Choosing the right texture machine can be a challenging task. However, our expert team at American Spray Technologies has many years of experience to help you pick the best machine for your business. Whether you have any previous knowledge or this is your first time, we recommend reaching out to our customer service to help you choose the right machine depending on your business’s requirements and needs.
