Apollo 1035 Four Stage HVLP Turbine System Overview
Apollo Sprayers International built the worlds first commercially available HVLP Sprayer. Today, every Apollo HVLP System is engineered to meet the toughest environmental codes worldwide while at the same time meeting their requirement for safety, user comfort, durability and no less than the means to achieve the best possible finish. Apollo likes to say the perfect finish but we all know the equipment can only do so much, the rest is up to you. Toward that end, Apollo and Woodcraft have teamed up to offer two HVLP Systems of extraordinary power, performance and value. So, lets take a closer look at spray finishing, what HVLP means and what Woodcraft has..... Spray finishing isnt new. Before HVLP and still today, quite a bit of spraying is done with high pressure air. Basically, the airs job is to break up (atomize) the coating into smaller even size particles and propel them toward the surface to be coated creating an even film. It does an OK job but there is a big snag. The air, under a lot a pressure at a relatively small volume, propels the finish at a high velocity resulting in only a small percentage of the material actually ending up on the surface. The rest ends up everywhere else: you, the floor, the dog, the car, hence, the term overspray. Overspray is extremely wasteful and polluting. Then Apollo came along with a new technology which eventually became known as HVLP. HVLP stands for High Volume Low Pressure. The principal of the air atomizing the coating still applies but the approach changes. Instead using high pressure air, HVLP uses a large volume of low pressure air moving at a relatively slow speed to do the same thing. The slower speed of the film exiting the gun means you work closer to the surface and more (up to 80) of the finish stays put. HVLP is a more cost effective way to spray with the added benefit of less pollution but Apollo wasnt simply happy to rest there! Their mission was and is the perfect finish.
