Hvlp Conversion Gun Vs Turbine
An hvlp turbine system is more environmentally friendly while a compressor system operates at a faster speed the hvlp sprayer s slower more precise application also offers benefits.
Hvlp conversion gun vs turbine. My favorite is my binks mach1. That s because its air supply comes from a low pressure turbine instead of a high pressure compressor. A compressor fed hvlp spray gun utilizes compressed air generated by the air compressor to feed the required volume of air to the spray gun. It was my gun of choice when i had my shop and spray booth.
A turbine hvlp spray gun is an independent system that utilizes a turbine to generate the volume of air that an hvlp spray gun requires to spray. The jghv devilbiss hvlp gun can run off of a 400 home depot campbell hausfeld extra heavy duty compressor with a 60 gal reserve tank and will run with the tank empty and running wide open. In airless sprayers a piston is smaller than the hvlp nozzle that pressurizes the material through an orifice. For example an hvlp turbine system s application results in less overspray and bounce back as paint and finish particles are less likely to rebound into the air.
An hvlp gun on the other hand will have less than 10 psi at the cap. Congrats to todd hoops if you re looking to get into hvlp spray finishing the two common routes you can take are either a compress. To confuse matters there are conversion hvlp guns which are used with a regular compressor and turbine hvlp systems which are self contained units comprising a gun a turbine and a hose. The turbine draws sufficient air into the unit which is then transferred through the hose which provides the air needed for atomization.
Please watch this video before you buy an hvlp spray gun. I do have a couple hvlp conversion guns. From air compressor the air is pumped for atomization and turbine can also be used in some units for atomization. Here s a link to a playlist of 3 videos i made a few years ago explaining the different air caps on.
The hydraulic pumps create the high pressure in place of the air compressor.
