Abstract: A stripper applicator employs a positive displacement gear pump to spray high viscosity stripper materials. The gear pump is driven at a reduced speed by an electric motor. A pressure relief valve is inserted in the outlet port of the gear pump to adjust the delivery pressure of the liquid. A large diameter suction line draws the liquid from a container to the pump without priming, and a dump line returns overflow liquid from the relief valve to the container. The stripper applicator is capable of delivering 1.5 gallons per minute of liquid at relatively low pressure to the delivery hose, which terminates in a spray gun. The electric motor and gear pump are mounted to a portable and light weight chassis.
