so what can anyone tell me about these better than compresor and standard equip? looks pretty good no waorries about oil or water and the air is warmed if that really matters. also seen these with respirators on them dual turbine.

 

thats kinda nifty.

 

here is a blerb from their web page

i also read where orange peal is almost not possible due to the way this sprays.

HVLP sprayers are used for fine finishing where overspray must be kept to a minimum. The finish results are equal to or better than conventional air spray. Applications vary from automotive finishing to commercial multi-color architectural coating. The turbine systems are self contained and do not require an outside air source. All Lemmer HVLP systems use high quality tangential type turbines. This type of turbine keeps motor cooling air and the filtered spraying air completely separate which is very important for keeping the motor cool even when air is shut off or restricted at the gun. Having a separate exhaust port for the motor cooling air also guarantees only clean filtered air will reach the gun. The gun is a all metal A-710S bleeder type gun. Bleeder type is defined as continuous air flow regardless of trigger position. Non-bleeder is defined as air flow shut off when trigger is released.

 

how much one of those thingers cost?

 

holy sh*t i want 1

 

Looks like an excellent setup! Do they give a price on the website?

 

I'd like to know a price on them as well very interesting find

 

i ve seen em from 400 and up depending on gun and size of turbine. i just wonder how good they realy are before spending the money.

 

The Turbine HVLP Was the original HVLP! I am into woodworking and the Turbine unit is the nuts when it comes to spraying a finish for furnature. I am not sure about autofinishes..

 

what's the diff between that, and using a sprayer hooked up to a compressor?

I have both a sprayer and a compressor, actually, a like industrial sized compressor, you know.. the 6 ft tall ones, rofl. like, 50-75 gallon tank or whatever.

What's the diff, besides keeping down extra spray or whatever..?

 

HVLP= high volume, low pressure.

Less overspray which means less wasted material. If you're using a full size compressor, you need to regulate the pressure down to like 30-40 psi., then put in a filter and drier in line. The unit in the picture has this all built in, and it also keeps the motor-cooling air out of the gun which makes a consistent temperature of the air from the sprayer and thus a more even finish.

 

so your saying this is a good thing and would be better than a regular compressor?

 

If I could get one for $400, I'd be all over that!!

 

seen em for around that at tptools.com, but a lycos search for turbine hvlp will bring up a bunch of diffrent sites with them including autobodydepot.net

 

Nearly all decent paint guns are HVLP now, so this isn't exclusive to the turbine guns. I used to work in the auto refinish industry, and I have never known a professional painter who used a setup like this (not saying there is anything wrong with it). Most use conventional HVLP guns from Sata, DeVilbiss, or Anest-Iwata . Using a dessicant dryer and changing your air hose every couple years (you can still use it, just don't paint with it) will prevent most contamination problems caused by moisture or oil.

 

i wish i knew someone that has tried this i don't think i want to be the first here, well maybe i do
