6.1CUP-FED SYSTEMS
Cup-Fed Systems include a turbine, air hose and cup-fed spray gun. The guns with these systems are supplied with a 1 Qt/L paint cup and are ideal for spraying applications where versatility and portability are essential.
6.2VOLUME-FED SYSTEMS WITH BUILT-IN COMPRESSORS
Volume-Fed Systems With Built-In Compressors include a turbine, Lower Deck Fluid Delivery System (including paint tank), air hose, fluid line, and pressure-fed spray gun. The pressure-fed guns supplied with these systems are designed for use with a paint tank supplying the material directly to the gun. The built-in compressor pressurizes the paint tank and pumps the material directly to the gun.
These systems are ideal for large volume spraying applications where a cup-fed gun is not practical, yet versatility and portability are essential. Note that these systems are modular and that the gun can be converted to a cup-fed gun and used with the turbine and air hose as a cup-fed system.
6.3VOLUME-FED SYSTEMS FOR USE WITH SHOP COMPRESSORS
Volume-Fed Systems For Use With Shop Compressors include a turbine, air hose, fluid line, paint tank (with regulator and pressure gauge), and pressure-fed spray gun. The pressure-fed guns supplied with these systems are designed for use with a paint tank supplying the material directly to the gun. The regulator and pressure gauge on the paint tank supplied with these systems allows for pressurization of the tank with an existing shop compressor.
These systems are ideal for large volume spraying applications where a cup-fed gun is not practical, and compressed air is already available. Note that the gun can be converted to a cup-fed gun and used with the turbine and air hose as a cup-fed system.
6.4NEEDLES, FLUID TIPS AND AIR CAPS
The proper Needle, Fluid Tip and Air Cap combination is critical to the optimal performance of any spraying system. Needles and Fluid Tips are sized together – when changing the Needle, the Fluid Tip must be changed as well. Air Caps are sized separately and can be changed without necessarily changing the Needle and Fluid Tip.
HERO manufacturers seven different sizes of Needles and Fluid Tips ranging from 0.50mm to 3.0mm, and three different sizes of Air Caps. For more information about Needles, Fluid Tips, and Air Caps, and how to select the proper combination for your application, refer to Section 3.3 of this Manual.
