AMAZING HVLP Sprayers!

What happens here

The Apollo Precision-5 features an intelligent 'idle control' or 'throttle-back control.' When the spray gun's trigger is released, the machine detects the change in air pressure and, after 45 seconds, enters a low-power idle mode. In this mode, a cool airflow is maintained through the motor, preventing heat buildup which can damage the motor over time. Once the trigger is reactivated, the system instantly ramps back up to the set air pressure. Additionally, the system boasts a 'Quadra-Clean' filtration system, which includes a foam pre-filter and two automotive-grade pleated filters for both the motor intake and the air supplied to the spray gun. This comprehensive filtration prevents dust, overspray, and other particulates from entering the motor, thus extending its lifespan, and ensures that only clean air reaches the spray gun, preventing finish contamination.

Goal: This step highlights the 'idle control' feature that automatically reduces motor speed when not spraying, cooling the motor and extending its life. It also introduces the 'Quadra-Clean' filtration system, which uses multiple filters to ensure clean air for both the motor and the spray gun, preventing contamination and promoting longevity.

What they say

as well but one of the key features that we've built into this system the precision 5 is that it also has what we call an idle control or a throttle back control and what that does is if the the machine is sensing the fluctuation of your air pressure as you're spraying so as you're normally uh pulling and releasing the trigger on the spray gun the machine sees that fluctuation in air pressure and it says oh you're using the gun but as soon as you stop that as soon as you release the trigger put the gun down or something like that the machine starts counting 45 seconds and then it goes into what we call idle mode an idle mode rather than shutting the system off and allowing that heat to radiate inside the case and exasperate the the the detriment to the motor this actually runs a cool flow of air through the motor all the time so you're actually cooling the motor down and it runs and it'll tick over like that until you turn it off and then when you're ready to spray you just pull the trigger and it goes right back up to your pre-programmed pressure yeah i saw that actually working today when i was spraying with it i got the opportunity to spray with your guys's guns in the hdl hvop unit all day today we're absolutely amazing amazing the coatings on the the finish we use the renner coatings the water-based coatings we started off with bare wood the the coatings and the finish that was created by your guns one of the best finishes i've ever seen in my life so absolutely amazing so i appreciate you guys coming up here i know you came from carlsbad the carlsbad area i'll appear to share your products i'm thankful thankful for um sircraft who showed up and renters so that's really great i'm excited to be able to use your guns yeah in the near future and your your turbine unit it is a pretty dang cool looking unit so i know there's something you got your two uh air filters on both sides and that's correct so there's a little bit different than some systems and why do you have air filters on both sides and they're automobile great air for those filters right yeah and that's really important because filtering the air into the machine into the motor basically is the only real thing that you can any maintenance that you can do on the turbine itself and so obviously having the air going and filtering to your spray gun is important because you don't want any contamination in your air going out to your spray gun but it's also important to actually have the filtering air…
