High Volume Low Pressure Application

Improving On Old Technology

 

 

HVLP spray was invented in the 1970's.

Gun design is similar to conventional air spray.  Fluid is atomized by a directing a high volume of low pressure air into a fluid stream.

The design improves transfer efficiency over the conventional air spray method.

Changes On The Inside

HVLP has a higher transfer efficiency than conventional air spray, up to 65 to 75 %. This results in lower material use (reduces costs), less spray booth maintenance and cleanup, and less hazardous waste. Modern coatings require pressure or gravity feed for proper flow and atomization.  

HVLP spray guns provide average productivity, good atomizing, and a fine finish.

Low pressure air is used to break up paint into very fine droplets.  The process creates less overspray and waste. HVLP spray complies with new EPA regulations.
