Industrial spray applications demand safety, precision, and operator flexibility. Hands-free activation is essential when technicians need to handle hoses, guide workpieces, or maintain control during fluid application. That’s where a pneumatic foot pedal offers an ideal control solution for industrial sprayers, combining hands-free operation with safe, non-electric actuation.
Explore our pneumatic foot pedal and Tinytrol air switch options to find the right control setup for your sprayer system.
A Safer Way to Control Industrial Sprayers
In environments where operators work with chemicals, solvents, or conductive liquids, electrical switches near the point of use present hazards. Presair’s air-actuated foot pedal and Tinytrol air switch system offers full electrical isolation at the control point. This improves safety, reduces accidental activation, and enhances operator comfort.
Industrial Sprayer Air Switching System
- Foot Pedal: Presair B621BA-5FT – a rugged hard pedal with 5 ft tubing
- Air Switch: TVM111B Tinytrol SPDT air switch, 21A, threaded mount
Pressing the foot pedal sends air through the line to the Tinytrol switch. The switch then controls the sprayer’s pump or motor, turning spray on or off with each press.
This hands-free method is ideal for coating applications, chemical processing, agricultural spraying, and more.
Key Benefits of Pneumatic Spray Activation
- Hands-Free Operation: Keeps both hands free for tools or material handling
- Enhanced Safety: Removes electrical contact near liquids
- Precise Control: Momentary actuation allows fast start/stop response
- Fatigue Reduction: Foot control reduces strain during long spray sessions
- Easy Integration: Standard threaded switch mounts into most enclosures
Installation Overview
- Mount the air switch inside the sprayer control panel.
- Connect tubing from the pedal to the switch inlet.
- Wire the switch into the sprayer’s power circuit.
- Position the foot pedal securely at the operator station.
- Test actuation for responsive spray on/off cycling.
Broader Applications Beyond Sprayers
This pneumatic control setup works for more than just sprayers. Medical devices, chemical dispensers, and lab equipment all benefit from air-powered switching when safety and hands-free operation are required.
