Conventional (AirSpray)

Conventional spray guns have not changed much for 60 years or so. Spray guns were developed out of the need for efficiency over brushing and rolling.  These guns use high pressure air to break up a stream of paint as it exits the tip of the gun. Original designs relied on suction for fluid delivery. Modern coatings require pressure or gravity feed for the correct flow and atomisation.

Conventional AirSpray lays claim to two basic advantages over the other methods;-

Control – This is the most controllable process available. The spray operator, when properly trained, can control the spray pattern from a fine dot to a large production-type spray pattern. This permits the spraying of small or large areas without changing guns or nozzles. Also, the degree of atomisation can be controlled. This process provides the finest degree of atomisation available in a hand-held system. Needless to say, it is the choice for those who want the best quality finish possible.

Versatility – This process affords the operator the ability to spray the widest range of coating materials. It is also the easiest system to operate and maintain. The paint emerges from an orifice (Nozzle Material) and is hit by a series of air jets that cause the separation into tiny particles.
