Nine pitches from one 10 litre container, and nothing to mix before you start.
The Bowcom Atom is a 12v low volume line marking applicator built for ready to use paints, and it is the fastest way for a club to get bright, accurate lines down.
For most grassroots clubs, marking is a job that has to fit around everything else. The Atom is designed for exactly that. Drop in a pail of Atomic or Quantum, switch on, and walk.
There is no mixing, no measuring and no bucket of water to carry across the car park.
The unique two part hollow cone brass nozzle atomises the paint properly, which is what gives a bright, defined line in a single pass at normal walking speed.
A single 10 litre container will mark eight to nine standard pitches through the Atom, which is a serious return on one pail.
The machine carries either a 5 litre or a 10 litre pail, so you can take a smaller container for a quick over-mark or a full one for a marking day.
Practical details make the difference on the ground. High pressure self priming pump, non drip instant shut off, integral cleaning and quick bleed systems, bearing wheels on a stainless steel axle and puncture proof tyres.
Mike Phelan spent a career around pitches prepared to professional standards. The Atom is the machine that lets a volunteer with an hour on a Saturday morning produce the same quality of line.

Frequently asked questions
How many pitches will the Atom mark from one container?
Eight to nine standard grass pitches from a single 10 litre container, using the hollow cone brass nozzle at normal walking speed.
Which paints does it use?
Bowcom Atomic and Quantum ready to use low volume paints. Concentrates such as Supreme Plus are designed for the GMX and flat fan systems instead.
Can I use a fan jet nozzle in the Atom?
Yes. The Atom accepts fan jet nozzles as well as the standard hollow cone brass nozzle.
How long does the battery take to charge?
Overnight for a full one hundred percent charge.
How do I clean the nozzle?
Flush through with water after use. Hollow cone nozzles should be soaked in Multi Flush solution overnight, and the brass nozzle detaches for cleaning.
Atom or GMX, which do I need?
Choose the Atom for ready to use paints and simple, fast pitch marking. Choose the GMX if you use concentrates, mark in several colours or need a removable tank and adjustable line width.
