THE HERO HVLP ADVANTAGE

HERO Turbine-Powered HVLP Sprayers are powered by an electric turbine which supplies a consistent flow of high volume, low pressure air (4-6 PSI @ 95-130 CFM) to the spray gun to atomize the paint or coating (dye, lacquer, adhesive, etc.) being applied.

By spraying at low pressure, the coating does not bounce back from the surface as with conventional high pressure spraying systems powered by a pump or a compressor. As a result, HERO systems reduce paint consumption, virtually eliminate overspray, and offer a transfer efficiency of up to 90%, as compared to 30-40% with conventional systems! The end results are substantial savings in paint and operating costs, a cleaner, safer working environment and a superior quality finish.

HERO ® HVLP Paint Spraying Systems: Features, Advantages, and Benefits

??HERO HVLP systems virtually eliminate overspray offering up to 90% transfer efficiency. Increased transfer efficiency provides for a cleaner working environment and drastically reduces paint and spray booth costs while saving time and energy.

??HERO all-inclusive portable systems operate from a standard power outlet of 110v or 220v for increased versatility. With no compressor or complicated hook-up required, the user is free to paint virtually anywhere.

??Simple design makes HERO systems easy to learn, use, and particularly maintain.

??Solid construction of HERO products prevent downtime and assure durability and long life.

??HERO guns contain few parts, making them easy to clean and limiting the need for replacement parts.

??The warm, dry air generated by the turbine not only reduces drying time for most coatings, but eliminates the possibility of airline moisture and oil contaminants as well. As a result, HERO turbine-powered systems eliminate the need for costly airline maintenance equipment such as those required for compressor-powered systems.

??All HERO systems use tangential turbines to provide the highest CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) rating in the industry, thus offering the highest-quality finish.

??Built-in Variable Speed Controllers on models 1235 and 1537 allow operator to adjust the speed of the turbine to deliver the minimum amount of air required to properly atomize the coating being applied, while maintaining the desired coating thickness and finish. This limits the amount of overspray and increases transfer efficiency.

Turbine-powered HVLP sprayers have literally changed the way people do spray finishing. Whether you are a professional or novice painter/finisher, we are confident that once you are familiar with your new HERO sprayer, you will enjoy the benefits of this professional tool for many years, and appreciate the ease and simplicity of its use.
