High Volume Low Pressure – HVLP –
Spray Painting Technology
with many advantages
HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) spraying technology means spraying under low pressure, but with high volume of supplied air. The technology has many advantages over high pressure spraying. Air is sucked in and softly pressurized, pushed through in a large volume to the spray gun by means of centrifugal blower. This results in a steady cone-shaped flow of air at the spray head, which does not eject the paint under pressure, but causes it to flow as minute particles. An air gap is formed between the spray gun and the work piece, which stabilizes the practicle flow reducing misting to a minimum and putting an even coat quickly and accurately on the surface. Due to warm air flow supplied to the gun, the adhesion of particles to the surface is significantly improved, coating density applied to the surface increases, as a result the material drying time is reduced.
Up to 70% of paint material can be saved due to a small amount of paint mist.
Expensive coating and equipment cleaning costs are decreased.
In addition, when using solvent-based materials, less aggressive particles are released into the surrounding air. Health hazards when spraying materials are significantly reduced.

Significant advantage of HVLP technology application
HVLP technology from ABAC is truly universal:
- suitable for virtually all sprayable materials.
ABAC HVLP technology application is reasonable and cost effective:
-
higher output rate;
-
reduced set up and cleaning times;
-
reduced maintenance costs;
-
light weight, portable equipment;
-
increased economical efficiency, significantly faster than using rollers and paintbrushes, essentially less paint used than when spraying with high pressure compressors.
HVLP technology from ABAC is environmental friendly and costs saving:
- practically no paint leaks and minimal material loss during spraying;
- „low misty“ spray;
- minimal overspray and material waste: with proper application paint transfer coefficient reaches up to 90%;
- possible to paint without exhaust system;
- 100% pure air without oil and condensate improves coating quality and reduces drying time;
- perfect for decorative and design works;
- unique and easy to use system of infinitely variable motor blower regulation;
- optimized operating pressure / volume of air supply ratio;
- HVLP technology complies with VOC (volatile organic compounds) regulations;
- perfect for coating of hard-to-reach surfaces;
- low power consumption as a result of low pressure generation;
- ideal for small room finishing (as well for repair works).
