What Are HVLP Paint Sprayers?
With the hardworking contractor in mind, HVLP paint sprayers (sometimes called turbo-sprayers) are professional paint-spraying equipment ideal for use on trim, finish work, furniture staining, cabinet painting, and any detailed applications where high accuracy, speed, and a smooth finish are needed.
By using a higher volume of paint and lower air pressure, HVLP guns can reliably control the even spread of the paint and save you money by minimizing wasted paint from overspray and paint splatter. You’ll also save time by not having to clean up your lines.
How Do HVLP Sprayers Work?
All HVLP spray guns “atomize” the paint, which means when it comes into contact with the air stream released from the spray gun, the paint is separated into tiny particles as the air is blown out of the nozzle. HVLP sprayers have limitless control from small to large fans, and controls for spray density, from mist to heavy coat.
These sprayers have airflow and paint volume controls, a paint basin, an air inlet, and a nozzle that helps control the pressure and spread of the paint being sprayed.
When the trigger on the spray gun is pressed, the paint is released into the air stream, atomized, and is shot through the nozzle at the desired pressure and spread. The result of a properly-set HVLP gun is a fast, even coat with virtually no wasted paint from overspray.
