Tool Reviews

Pneumatic spray gun is a tool used when performing paintwork, applying primers, liquid rubber and other materials on various surfaces.

The distribution of the paint is made by compressed air, which creates a spray jet as it passes through the nozzle. A compressor is used to supply air.

Types

• high pressure (HP);
• high volume at low pressure (HVLP);
• low volume at medium pressure (LVMP);
• low volume at low pressure (LVLP).

An important indicator of the effectiveness of each type is the percentage of loss of sprayed material:

• HP – about 55%;
• HVLP – up to 35%;
• LVMP – less than 35%;
• LVLP – up to 20%.

The best spray gun for thick paint

HUBERTH R500 RP20500-14 It is designed for finishing surface coating with various types of paints and varnishes (LKM). The device is based on the use of LVLP technology. This allows:

• reduce paint consumption;
• create a soft and fine spray;

• used in work with a wide range of coatings;
• smooth and precise paint supply to the working area;
• the quality of the coating is ensured by the high quality of the nozzle, air cap and adjusting needle;
• the working part of the tool is made of stainless steel, which guarantees the absence of corrosion;
• comfortable process control is provided by a trigger mechanism with soft and smooth, low resistance, pulling the trigger;
• changing the shape of the torch (round or flat) can be achieved with one hand;
• the presence of a large number of replacement kits;
• reliable grip is provided with a relief surface of the handle;
• the presence of a “single” type of key for all nuts;
• coating workflow is characterized by low fire and explosion hazard.

Minuses:

• the presence of factory lubrication causes significant loss of time in preparing the device for work;
• fasteners are seated with a large amount of torque or on glue – this causes significant effort when unscrewing;
• lack of understandable and intelligible for beginners instruction manual.

Characteristics:

Equipment:
