Spray Wand Pretreatment
For Batch Powder Coating
A CPR spray wand system is a heated, high-pressure washer (pressures up to 3,000 PSI, temps up to 180 degrees, 4 GPM) that cleans and applies a phosphate or zirconium conversion coating in one pass. A variable pressure wand lets the operator adjust pressure right at the wand while cleaning, so smaller, lighter parts aren't hit at full pressure. It gives batch shops the cleaning power of a 5-stage washer for large or odd-shaped parts, with wash water recycled to zero discharge.

High Performance
Bondtite Washers
Variable pressure, hot water cleaning machines featuring 4 gallons a minute flow rates with pressures up to 3,000 PSI for fast, efficient cleaning and coating. Bondtite pretreatment washers come standard with stainless steel frames and housing for extended longevity.
20 Micron Filtration Platform Built For Production Recycling
The CPR System uses a multi-step filtration process that cleans wash water to under 20 microns so it can be reused, with nothing sent to drain. Each filtration platform can supply filtered pretreatment water to up to four independent washers and is built specifically for phosphate or zirconium chemistry.
Water Containment
And Collection For Zero Discharge
We will work with you to modify your existing wash booth or help design and construct a new wash bay site or platform. We can also provide an above grade wash containment solution if you are unable to modify your existing facility.
Installation, Training, After Care
Our pretreatment packages include installation of equipment, training at your facility and after start-up remote support via our online maintenance tracking programs.
Spray Wand Pretreatment: What To Know
Who is spray wand pretreatment for?
Batch powder coaters, fabricators and trailer/equipment builders with large, heavy or low-volume parts that don't suit a conveyor.
Which chemistry runs in a spray wand system?
PhosBite 101 (steel), PhosBite M+ (steel and aluminum), Zr Green (zirconium) and ESeal 480 seal. See iron phosphate pretreatment and zirconium pretreatment.
Spray wand vs. stage washer: which do you need?
Production style: spray wand for batch; single-step stage washer for conveyor lines.
Part size: spray wand for large, odd-shaped parts; stage washer for consistent, repeatable parts.
Labor: spray wand is operator-driven; stage washer is automated.
Recycling: both are zero discharge. See wash water recycling.
What's included?
Bondtite variable-pressure washer (stainless frame), 20-micron filtration platform, containment/collection, and an optional above-grade wash bay.
Spray Wand Pretreatment FAQ
Can I phosphate with a pressure washer?
Yes, with a heated, chemical-rated system such as CPR's spray wand pretreatment.
Can I lower the pressure for light parts?
Yes. The operator adjusts pressure right at the wand while cleaning, so smaller, lighter parts aren't hit at full pressure.
How much space do I need?
A spray wand system fits in a wash bay.
How long does setup take?
Typically 2 days, including training.
Do I need a wastewater permit?
With CPR's zero-discharge recycling, wash water is reused rather than discharged; check local rules for disposal of filter waste.
