AMAZING HVLP Sprayers!

What happens here

The discussion moves to the Precision-5 turbine system's variable speed control. Unlike conventional high/low settings, this system provides a digital display that accurately shows air pressure to a tenth of a PSI. This precision is vital for spraying various coatings, especially thinner woodworking finishes, without needing excessive power. The system automatically adjusts for environmental factors like barometric pressure and humidity. Fine-tuning the air pressure ensures 'perfect atomization'—the ideal droplet size for a smooth finish—and minimizes overspray and material waste, significantly increasing transfer efficiency and paint savings.

Goal: This segment explains the Precision-5 turbine system's variable speed control, which features a digital readout for accurate air pressure adjustment. This precise control is crucial for achieving perfect atomization of different coatings, reducing overspray, and improving transfer efficiency.

cup you can use the same gun we've got systems that can use the cup gun or we can even use a two quart or two and a half gallon pressure pot too so we can go the same spray gun can go from a cup gun into a pressure pod as well yeah so i have to say it it does look like a rolls royce i mean it's absolutely amazing i mean this thing i could hang it on my wall it could be a centerpiece on my wall pretty cool so i think your gun is absolutely amazing so there are some other things about this um the hvlp system here your turbine system one of the things i think is really cool because i've used several other systems before but yours has a digital readout and that is pretty amazing but what you can actually do with this dial is is quite a bit different than all the other pumps i've used or hdlp turbines i guess we can say so why don't you talk a little bit about that yeah the variable speed is really a key to having the turbine especially when you're getting into the larger five five stage systems because they do have a lot of power and when you're spraying a lot of woodworking coatings particularly you don't need all that power you know it's necessary when you're spraying latex paints and things real heavy coatings but when the thinner coatings you want to be able to turn that power down but you need to know where you're going with the power too so just turning it down a couple clicks or a couple of led lights or something like that doesn't really tell you how much air pressure you have and that's really the key so the key feature on this system uh is that it not only displays the air pressure for you right on the screen but it is also accurate to attend to the psi so it'll actually adjust itself for barometric pressure and humidity and so forth so that you're always getting the exact same pressure every time so the units i'm currently using i've been using for quite a few years you just turn them on so they just you there's one of the high low setting so it's always just running the same setting so what is the benefit to being able to turn this thing down from running to hit lower pressure well running at lower pressures obviously to begin with it also all it gives you more efficiency so you're now reducing the amount of overspray in the amount of wasted material that you're getting so you can get almost what we call a perfect atomization right which is where you have just enough right amount of air pressure to get the perfect droplet sizes so that it levels…
