HVLP SPRAYER TMR140
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
All units come with gun and hose ready to spray. (230 volt)
Additional Notes:
What Is HVLP?
HVLP means High Volume Low Pressure. To atomise paint properly, you need either the traditional method (compressor = low airflow but high pressure, up to 50 p.s.i.) or the modern HVLP system, which delivers approximately 10 times more air than a compressor but at low pressure (up to 6 p.s.i.). High pressure from conventional compressors is what creates overspray and paint waste. HVLP delivers up to 90% of paint directly to the surface being painted, with minimal overspray. HVLP typically uses 50% less paint compared with compressor spraying.
What is the difference between this unit and the more expensive TMR140?
The main difference is the size of the motor. The TMR140 has a more powerful motor, which achieves greater output with less effort and is designed for heavier workloads. If you have a lot of work to complete, the stronger unit will provide longer-lasting performance. Both models feature variable speed control for maximum airflow adjustment.
Is it easy to use?
Yes, but we recommend practising on some scrap material first to get a feel for how it works. We have extensive experience using HVLP systems on almost every type of application and are here to provide expert tips to help you achieve professional spraying results in minimum time.
What's the difference between HVLP sprayers and Airless?
There is no comparison. Airless sprayers work similarly to high-pressure washers. They draw paint into the pump either by siphon or gravity-fed hopper and force it through the gun at pressures of up to 3000 p.s.i. Airless sprayers are generally used for large-scale, fast applications. For example, painting contractors often use them for ceilings, walls, interior and exterior surfaces. Some painters also use them for woodwork with fine tips fitted to reduce paint output. Other applications include farm sheds and large machinery.
HVLP sprayers, on the other hand, are designed for smaller "fine finish" work. While HVLP systems are capable of spraying larger areas, they are slower and require regular refilling of the cup gun, making them less practical for large projects. HVLP provides excellent control, allowing adjustment of the spray tip to create anything from wide coverage to narrow lines.
Can I expect my HVLP sprayer to last long?
With proper care and maintenance, you can expect your HVLP sprayer to last 20+ years. We first sold HVLP systems in 1993, and many of those units are still operating today. The system is simple to maintain: keep the two intake air filters clean and replace them regularly. The spray gun should also be thoroughly cleaned after each use.
(This HVLP sprayer replaces the Turbinare 1537 HVLP, which we have distributed in the past.)
