wildtail97 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I am looking for help finding some kind of a stir pot that is able to handle high air pressure. Anyone know of anything bigger than the pot you can get on LC? I am looking for something that can handle more than 30 psi for injecting plastisol. Thanks in advance!

Tubeman Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 30 psi is a lot for plastic, especially when it's not computer controlled. It takes very little pressure, perhaps 8-10 psi to push hot plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildtail97 Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Don't worry guys, I have experience with injecting, was just wondering if there was something else out there. Anyone know anything about the pot that they sell on LC? Heres the link: Pressure Pot - LureCraft Thanks for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolinamike Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Wildtail, I have 2 of those pots. One I purchased from LC, one I built. I do not recommend the LC one at all. These are not made by the LC company and they don't have a whole lot of control over the manufacturing of the pots. I have shot up to 17 psi in the pot I built but when the manufacturer's gauge on the pot reads caution at 20 psi, and my pop off valve goes off at 18 psi, that would be the most I would do. On my machine, I've used up to 50 psi, so I take it you're shooting a large mold with a lot of cavities. I tell you, I really don't know a safe way to do it with the pots. The company does make bigger size pots, but I wouldn't trust that much air pressure. What most people don't understand is that machines do not work by air pressure. Hope you can figure something out, but please be very careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildtail97 Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Mike, Thanks for that Great info. I am looking for something that can shoot a large mold, just thought I would ask and see if anyone had used that pot. Is there anything else I should look at? How big of a unit did you build? If you would like to talk over email just let me know, I'm very interested! Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
