“We used to run a truck and trailer setup with a typical electrical proportioning unit. We switched to the PSI rig in September of 2004. The difference is like night and day! We would frequently have problems with our old rig setup which would cost us thousands of dollars in downtime and repairs. Since we changed to the PSI rig we rarely have downtime related to equipment problems”.
“I tracked our repair expenses for one year with our old rig and one year with the new PSI rig (spray gun costs not included). We spent over $6,000 in material costs alone in repairing our old rig and when labor and downtime was added in, the result was well over $10,000 in lost revenue. In one year of having our new PSI rig, we have spent approximately $300 in material costs on equipment repairs and have not lost any time in spraying”.
“The PSI rig is also much more conducive to spraying in colder environments. The temperature of the material can be raised by a much greater amount than it could with our old rig. While our old rig could only raise the temperature a maximum of 60 degrees or so, the PSI rig can raise the temperature by approximately 100 degrees or more. This means less time wasted at the jobsite re-circulating the material and waiting for the drum temperatures to increase, resulting in higher profit margins for us”.
“The PSI guys have been very good to work with. They stand behind all of the equipment they build. If we ever have any problems or questions, they’re very responsive to all of our needs. I’d have to say that making the switch over to the PSI rig was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made as a company”.

“We are extremely happy with our rig. We are saving an average of 45 minutes per day due to the fact that the material is warm and the rig is ready to spray when we arrive at the site. 45 minutes per day relates to about 180 hours (per year). We can make a lot of money spraying in 180 hours! The rig has a lot of output capabilities with the two guns and we are able to get a lot of material sprayed at optimum efficiency. There are very few moving parts. That makes the rig easier to maintain than our other spray rigs. One of the biggest advantages is the fact that we don’t have to worry about electrical issues in the hoses. We seem to have better luck with the material being sprayed in the PTO rig “sticking” to steel during cold weather. That is a big advantage and gives us a little more flexibility. Bottom line: The PTO rig is more efficient. More efficient=more sprayed with less labor. More sprayed=more revenue, which in the end positively affects our bottom line. We are looking forward to getting another rig. Hopefully, sooner than later.”
