Titan is a pioneer in fine finishing, offering painters a wide range of tools and application techniques to choose from. Below is a summary of the three primary application methods and their distinct advantages to help you better grasp fine finishing and determine which option could be best for your project.
HVLP APPLICATIONS
High-volume/low-pressure spraying, or HVLP, is a technique that yields an extremely fine finish. While there are other dependable HVLP sprayers on the market, none offer the same power and control as Titan’s Capspray.
With its six-stage turbine, the Capspray 115 sprays most finishes without thinning, and its only maintenance needs are to ensure that the filters at either end of the machine are free of dust and debris both before and after usage. Although it’s recommended to clean the hose and gun regularly, the sprayer itself requires far less care.
Either the Maxum II or the Maxum Elite gun that comes with the Capspray can be used with different sets of needle nozzles that you can use for coatings with different viscosities. Both guns are infinitely customizable. The guns have two adjustment knobs: one for air and one for fluid, and they can switch between pencil and fan patterns.
Application of HVLP Sprayer
The HVLP finishing method offers superior control and versatility, with the added advantage of allowing you to precisely adjust your sprayer before shooting. Along with a 90% transfer efficiency, a variety of options (Capspray 75, 95, 105, and 115), and lightweight and easy movement around the construction, there are a lot of modifications you can make before spraying. Additionally, the Capspray can switch between fan and pencil designs quickly, which is very helpful for delicate finishing work.
Tips for Cleaning HVLP Sprayers
The little cleanup needed after using HVLP spraying is another significant benefit. The only things left to do are clean the cup and the pistol when you’re finished. After routine usage, there are no extra filters, lines, or accessories to clean.
To begin, save the paint that is left in the cup and transfer it back into the can. Pour the suitable solvent or cleanser into the cup and feed a small amount through the cannon. It is important to always disassemble the check valve, clean it, and reassemble it. Your HVLP sprayer is now prepared for use on its upcoming job.
Spraying without air
Airless paint sprayers utilize multifunctional technologies to complete tasks. Whether in an industrial, commercial, or domestic setting, the Titan Impact 440 airless sprayer can spray nearly anything with durability and ease of use.
You may produce a high-quality finish on interior trim, millwork, doors, cabinets, and furniture in a production scenario by adjusting the fluid pressure and using the appropriate tip (in this case, the SC-6+ Synergy Fine Finish tip).
AIRLESS SPRAYER USER GUIDE
Make sure the fan design is where it should be before filling your airless paint sprayer with enamel and beginning to spray. In the video below, Nick uses an RX-Pro® Airless Gun with a fine finishing tip to test the pattern on his Titan 440 loaded with hybrid enamel. Because of their twin orifices, these tips atomize paint far more efficiently than a normal tip, which helps to further reduce pressure. To prevent tails and overspray, Nick also demonstrates how to determine the ideal spray pressure.
TIPS FOR CLEANING AIRLESS SPRAYERS
After every usage, it’s critical to thoroughly clean the various parts of your airless sprayer. Water should be used to clean the machine if you’re using a water-based finish. To find the suggested cleaning for your machine, check the technical data sheet (TDS) for the coating if you’re using anything else.
For optimal results, put mineral spirits or Titan LS-10 Liquid Shield Plus in the pump if you plan to store your equipment for a long time.
Airless spraying with air assistance
Air-assisted airless sprayers are high-output fine-finishing devices that are powered by two distinct sources. An air compressor connected to the sprayer provides a fine finish, and an airless sprayer (such as the Titan Advantage 440) produces a high output.
When the airless sprayer is in use, fluid is sent via the line to the tip, where the air compressor activates to further atomize the paint. Compared to traditional airless spraying, this enables you to significantly lower the total line pressure, producing a more delicate, refined, and forgiving spray pattern at a high production rate. The ability to turn off the air compressor at any moment to use the sprayer as a conventional airless unit is another important advantage of air-assisted airless spraying.
Conclusion
With the unrivaled strength, velocity, and control of a Titan airless paint sprayer, you can enhance any task and use it for any type of fine-finishing application. Titan is the sole business option for best-in-class ROI and committed assistance anytime you need it. It is designed for ultimate durability.
