HVLP vs Conventional vs LVMP Trans Tech Paint Spray Guns

[@kristoffscuba5466]

Brilliant comparison. Off the back off this video I bought an lvmp gun and a 2.5 hp 50l compressor that can maintain about 6 cfm. Total cost £300 and I’m getting outstanding results on woodwork and metalwork for furniture making. I’ll never need anything better than this, and so much faster than a roller and a brush. Thank you.

@@tchip-bc1gpspray gun is an ANI R160 with a 1.2mm tip. Compressor is just a budget 2.5 hp model that can manage about 6cfm, with a 50l tank.

@@tchip-bc1gp just checked for you, mine says ANI R160Q midi on the box.

[@kristoffscuba5466]

Yes, it’s described as a mini\midi HPS gravity fed spray gun.

Excellent video! Super interesting and helpful. Only wish you had mentioned tip and nozzle sizes

[@kimberlyforbragd3729]

Great explanation of the strengths and weaknesses of each cap style and also the demonstration using different materials. I learned a lot.

[@robertanon1910]

thanks for a good insight into the differences of air caps and viscosities!

[@hanzon1529]

Thanks for explaining these three categories so well.

[@billybastar4022]

Great demo. Only missing needle diameters per cap.

[@charlesbrewer6552]

Thanks for this video. You have explained the differences really well and helped me understand the different systems. Just what I was looking for.

[@bonnivilleblackcherry9745]

I think a lot of people are confused with HVLP. They think high volume of paint will lay down under low pressure. But the high volume is it needs a high volume of air. Most painters use 3/8 fittings vs the typical hobby size compressor with the 1/4 fittings because 1/4 fittings reduce your volume and create more pressure which all but eliminates the benifits of the HVLP gun.

[@hanzon1529]

Many thanks. You explained and demonstrated the differences very well.

[@matthewfox3760]

Orange pillow top on the HVLP so what that’s... what those things do / what about the booger creators it shoots out on the bottom - we might need to adjust gun settings and dial back the material flow

[@SlipperyGoblin]

Exactly what i needed to know and more! thanks dude

[@hanzon1529]

Very good explanations of the three types of sprayer. Now I can make a more informed choice to suit my needs. Thank you.

[@cisco5400]

Very interesting, i didnt know what type of pressure gun is to prefere for different projects

[@acarpentersson8271]

So the only the ng that makes these systems different is the cap

[@dennisgarber]

I wish lvlp were thrown in for comparison. I am scratching my head wondering why lvmp is slower than hvlp, when it needs less air to break up thicker material. This is a bit of a contradiction. I would think, more breakup is faster. I used to reach very high speed with my conventional, especially cranking the psi up to 90 with a pressure pot.

[@myatelier2685]

BON CONTENU! laisse l'image stable! cela est mieux pour se concentrer

[@dennisgarber]

I got one lvmp which rocks.

[@dennisgarber]

My first conversational was in 1988. I went hvlp in 1995, but always hated hvlp. Poor breakup and the thinning means high overspray. Lvmp is like a drink of cool water after years beating my head against the wall trying to like the hvlp.

[@goproengineers]

Hey thank you. I have an application where I need this gun to spray latex with gravity feed tank (20 gallon gravity tank) some wood boxes. What is the best viscosity?

[@goproengineers]

I also want to spray relatively fast like 5 in. per second. The finish needs to be smooth but not like a car finish smooth.

[@glytch5]

I don't get it... what makes a gun HVLP or not? Just the cap? Does that change the CFM requirement?

[@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo]

Its generally the cap and engineering in the cap hvlp uses more cfm than conventional

[@personalprivate7422]

thanks for this, very helpful

[@mota7712]

Hi there which size of fluid tip you would recommend for water base paints for wood (latex paint) think paint for each type of gun. Thanks

[@freebusinees5668]

HV & HP & LV concerned air or paint?sir

[@gerardosmi2933]

Great video man. One question though, on the 2465 trophy series, Binks has one blue body gun and one green body gun. Are these different or are they the same internally and just come with different caps that I can then interchange. Thanks

[@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo]

Just different air caps the gun body is colored differently to make it easy to know it's transtech you can change air caps to change the spray of the gun

[@kennethmsmith794]

What lvmp gun are you using

[@asksteevies4941]

Nice video

[@Artie6937]

Great video,

[@ronaldosouza9346]

Seu compressor e de quantos litros e esse tanque e de 8 litros

[@damensutherland7081]

15 cfm I just bought a binks trophy to paint .come find out I need big compressor I saw some on alibaba for about 1300 that has 300 liter 37 cfm

[@Jesustorres-og1ir]

What gun is best for semi gloss paint like for trims? And what gun is best for redwood stain or sealer (poly)

[@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo]

Redwood stain, HVLP, or lvmp semi gloss depends on the viscosity but most should spray well hvlp. lvmp, sealer hvlp or lvmp lvmp breaks up a bit finer a gun like the Trophy spray gun can allow you to spray hvlp or lvmp by changing the cap

[@65buickriv]

It all looks the same get a better camera. Otherwise very good info

[@brodieb666]

Is that one gun you are using, and just switching the cap?

[@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo]

Hi yes the trophy gun has all three air caps available allowing you to spray in conventional, hvlp, or lvmp from a single spray gun type

[@bvac]

Pittsburgh Spray Equipment Co does the cap dictate how much air the gun puts out or is that determined by the air pressure at the input? In other words if the tank is fixed at 1 bar, will the MP cap let more air pass than the LP cap? Or do you have to adjust based on your application.

[@mota7712]

@@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo hi do you know any gun that can be purchased in the UK that you can use a conventional cup hvlp o mvlp in the same gun. Thank very informative videos

[@mota7712]

And what size of fluid cup you recommend for thicker water base paint. Thanks

[@joemamma4324]

GREAT VID THANKS!!!

[@temporarymomentary]

I have a 150 psi compressor. It's enough for Blinks Hvlp gun ?

[@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo]

Black Phillip it will depend on your compressor cfm pressure is the same with all compressors but cfm is what differs you will need about 20 cfm to use a spray gun like in the video which would require a 2 stage 5 horse power compressor to run efficiently

[@temporarymomentary]

I borough that gun from a friend. When pressure is lower than 140psi on my tank paint start to became misty and coverage is really bad.

[@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo]

Black Phillip would have to know about your compressor and material your spraying it's either setup on the gun or compressor is not but enough we can talk during tomorrow if you would like

[@temporarymomentary]

I've tried Blinks gun with a siphon. I have Craftsman 150 psi air compressor www.sears.com/craftsman-professional-27-gallon-super-quiet-vertical-portable/p-00916474000P

[@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo]

Black Phillip unfortunately that's about half the size of the spray guns air need which is about 20 cfm what you may notice due to a lack of air is your pattern doesn't stay consistent and isn't breaking up paint well enough

[@duaynenaugle4186]

How much are you thinning the latex?

[@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo]

About 10 -15%

[@igorkisil3242]

@@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo What about seconds?

[@Artie6937]

Have you tried a conventional air cap at hvlp pressure and compare hvlp the both of them,

[@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo]

The conventional cap will perform pretty close to the hvlp cap at the same pressure but will still give a slightly better finish than hvlp

[@nurjannah3906]

what different lvmp and hvlp?i need to know..

[@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo]

LVMP uses a bit more air pressure vs air volume which results in a bit of a better breakup than hvlp but if your in a state that requires a compliant spray gun (HVLP compliant) lvmp doesn't meet that standard (but is about the same in transfer efficiency or same in keeping waste down). HVLP meets requirements for emissions reductions but tends to not break apart material quite as fine. LVMP is most often used for automotive or wood finishes where HVLP standards are not required
