Milwaukee® Launches M18™ SWITCH TANK™ System – The Industry’s First Interchangeable Sprayer and Water Supply System

Milwaukee Tool is once again delivering unrivaled productivity to the professional trades with the introduction of the industry’s first interchangeable tank solution, the M18™ SWITCH TANK™ Interchangeable Sprayer and Water Supply System.

Core to the new system is the M18 SWITCH TANK Powered Base, which provides power to three different interchangeable tanks: a chemical Sprayer, Water Supply and Concrete Sprayer. The M18 SWITCH TANK Interchangeable Sprayer and Water Supply System delivers instant, constant and adjustable pressure with no manual pumping, and users can easily add on or replace any of the compatible tanks.

“As leaders in cordless technology, our goal is to create solutions that completely disrupt the way work gets done to make users more productive. The M18 SWITCH TANK System is a perfect example of this passion at work. Through its unique interchangeable tank system design, users can add on additional tank assemblies to eliminate cross-chemical contamination. This also gives them the ability to simply replace the tank only versus the entire sprayer or water supply, delivering lower cost of ownership across the board. Finally, this entire System is powered by M18 REDLITHIUM-IONbatteries and REDLINKintelligence to provide the performance, run time and capability demanded by users without the need to manually pump.” – Gustaf Sjoberg, Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool

 

How It Works


Each SWITCH TANK solution is made up of two components – the M18 SWITCH TANK Powered Base and the Water Supply or Sprayer Tank Assembly. The Powered Base includes the motor, REDLITHIUM-ION battery compartment and REDLINK electronics, while the interchangeable Tank Assembly includes its pump, hose, and respective accessories. The isolated pump and hose design allows users to add on additional Tank Assemblies for different applications, eliminating cross-chemical contamination. 

M18 SWITCH TANK Backpack Fluid Pump Chemical Sprayer 

Designed to meet the needs of professional landscape maintenance, the 15 l Backpack Chemical Sprayer delivers instant, constant and adjustable pressure up to 120 PSI and a

7.6 m spray distance. The 5-mode pressure adjustment knob adjusts pressure between 20 – 120 PSI, with a lower flow rate optimised for more control during targeted spot spraying. When equipped with an M18 REDLITHIUM-ION 4.0 Ah battery it provides up to 12 tanks of spraying per charge. The tank is built for compatibility with common landscape maintenance chemicals and features a dual diaphragm pump and Viton® seals* for longer pump life and increased durability. In addition, a wide mouth opening allows for easier pouring and a strainer filters debris from getting into the tank. 

M18 SWITCH TANK Backpack Fluid Pump Water Supply

Designed to meet the water supply needs for concrete cutting and coring, the 15 l Backpack Water Supply delivers instant, constant and adjustable pressure up to 60 PSI. The 5-mode pressure adjustment knob adjusts pressure between 20 – 60 PSI for ultimate control. When equipped with an M18 REDLITHIUM-ION 4.0 Ah battery it provides up to 12 tanks of water delivery per charge. The tank features a dual diaphragm pump for increased durability and longer pump life. The tank also has a wide mouth opening for easier pouring and a strainer that filters debris from getting into the tank. 

M18 SWITCH TANK Backpack Fluid Pump Concrete Sprayer 

Designed to meet the needs of concrete contractors, the 15 l Backpack Concrete Sprayer delivers instant, constant and adjustable pressure up to 120 PSI and a 7.6 m spray distance. The 5-mode pressure adjustment knob adjusts pressure between 20 – 120 PSI with a high flow rate optimised to cover a large surface as quickly as possible. When equipped with an M18 REDLITHIUM-ION 4.0 Ah battery it provides up to 12 tanks of spraying per charge. The tank is built for compatibility with concrete chemicals and features a dual diaphragm pump and Viton® seals* for longer pump life and increased durability. In addition, a wide mouth opening allows for easier pouring and a strainer filters debris from getting into the tank.
