Conventional spray guns use a compressor to atomize the coating (Paint). They are the most powerful spray guns on the market and have the fastest working speed and arguably the highest atomization power of any class of guns on the market. The drawback is that these guns also waste the most paint with the highest overspray levels of any guns.
Who should use conventional guns then? We still recommend conventional guns for industrial users who are allowed to use conventional equipment and also users who wish to spray very viscous materials. Also used by those who wish to up the inlet pressure to use the spray gun as an applicator in addition to being a finisher.
We also carry the New Conventional's as described below as an alternative with the same power but with lower overspray.
The New Conventional
Maximum Efficiency with Environmental Responsibility
One of the newest technologies on the market, introduced in 2003 this alternative is an alternative to Conventional and HVLP. It is a high efficiency, compliant atomization process with the same break up power as Conventional Equipment while providing lower overspray and greater material savings. Trans-Tech simply means “Transfer-efficient Technology”. This atomization technology provides the familiar performance of the legendary JGA gun and its competitors like the model 7 and newer 2001, yet fully complies with the Environmental Protection Act legislation in respect of being in excess of 65% paint transfer efficiency despite the same 29 psi gun inlet pressure. Trans-Tech perfectly combines speed of working with large spray pattern sizes and fine atomization for the clear coats, single layer top coats and primers, fillers and surfacers.
Most Manufacturers now carry Reduced Pressure Guns as an alternative to conventional guns and HVLP. They are meant for professionals who want the best balance of fast working speed, superior atomization for clears and flat colors and super low overspray levels. Unfortunately, they are also among the most expensive guns on the market. Luckily you get what you pay for. WoodSprayGuns.com highly recommends (Reduced Pressure) technology to its customers.
