Leading the way with spray gun Innovation
DeVilbiss invented the world’s fi rst “stand alone” HVLP and COMPLIANT technology spray guns back in the 1980’s. This resulted in a revolution in the way our spray guns atomise paints and set the bench mark in paint transfer efficiency, saving paint for the end users and dramatically reducing the emission levels of harmful VOC’s into the atmosphere. These and other patented ground breaking product developments have placed Binks and DeVilbiss at the summit of spray equipment manufacture for many years.
DEVILBISS® Manufactures low pressure manual and automatic spray guns and related spraying accessories; including air fi lter reducing valves and regulators, operator breathing systems, spray gun cups, hoses and other equipment for Finishing Markets. DeVilbiss is widely recognised for the development and introduction of the first “Compliant” spray guns, which greatly reduce overspray and VOC emission into the environment. The company’s expertise in ergonomics and innovative spray gun design is widely acclaimed.
TRANS-TECH© (COMPLIANT)
This atomisation type was introduced by DeVilbiss in the mid 1990’s and is a ground breaking combination of Conventional and HVLP atomisation methods. Trans-Tech utilities more compressed air energy for the atomisation process producing much higher Transfer Efficiency of coating material than the Conventional method. This ‘complies’ with Global legislation by being able to transfer at least 65% of the sprayed material to the component. Air Cap Pressure is typically 1.3 to 3 BAR (20 to 45 psi). HVLP has mostly been replaced by DeVilbiss Trans-Tech Atomisation in most applications due to its superior finish qualities.
CONVENTIONAL “AIR SPRAY” ATOMISATION
The most established method of air atomising used on “conventional” spray guns, uses relatively high velocity compressed air to provide good atomisation of the sprayed material. However this process results in low paint transfer e¤ ciencies due to the ‘bounce-back’ and ‘overspray’ generated. Compressed air operating pressures used in this process are typically 2 to 4 BAR (30 to 60 psi).
HVLP (HIGH VOLUME LOW PRESSURE)
This “compliant” atomisation method fi rst became important in the 1980’s when environmental legislation was fi rst introduced. It uses larger compressed air volumes at lower pressures to atomise the coating. It has a much higher transfer e¤ ciency than Conventional Air Spray. However, the droplet size produced tends to be slightly larger, sometimes resulting in a lower quality fi nish. HVLP operates at 0.7 BAR (10 psi) at the air cap in compliance with global environmental legislation to provide greater than 65% transfer e¤ ciencies.
