How do hvlp spray guns work?
HVLP turbine motors produce extremely high volumes of over 100 CFM (cubic feet per minute) at very low pressures (3 – 8) psi (pounds per square inch). Compare this to a typical air compressor set-up of 45 – 60 psi at 8 CFM. HVLP turbines supply air at a much lower velocity producing a softer, easier to control spray. This allows you to lay the paint on gently and not blast it on. Benefits of HVLP include less overspray and less paint wastage. Transfer efficiencies can reach 85%, resulting in 30-50% savings on the cost of paint! The quality of the finish is identical to the best high-pressure spray finishes. In addition, the air from the SprayfineÔ turbine is heated by a process called adiabatic heating, eliminating any moisture in the finish being sprayed, and speeding up the flash-off rate, reducing runs and sags!
