An air-powered airless paint sprayer uses a pneumatic motor to drive a high-pressure piston or diaphragm pump that forces paint through a fine spray tip. It is 'airless' at the nozzle (no added atomizing air) so it produces a high-pressure, uniform spray for smooth, even coats while the compressed air only powers the pump mechanism.
Air-powered models use compressed air to drive the pump and typically offer high durability and long duty cycles for industrial use, but require a compatible air compressor. Electric-powered models have an integrated motor, are simpler to set up (no compressor), and are often better for smaller jobs or mobile use. Choice depends on job size, mobility needs and available equipment.
Most latex, acrylic, enamel, stains, primers and many solvent-based coatings can be used. Very high-viscosity or heavily filled materials may require thinning or a larger tip. Always check the paint manufacturer's recommendations and the sprayer's manual for compatibility and required thinning.
Tip selection depends on material viscosity and desired finish: smaller tips (fine) for thin coatings and finish work, medium tips for general use, and larger tips for heavy coatings or stains. Refer to the sprayer's tip chart (provided by the manufacturer) and test on scrap material to dial in flow and finish.
Requirements vary by model. Typical industrial air-powered units need a compressor that can deliver sufficient continuous CFM at the operating pressure (many units operate around 60–120 psi range). For reliable performance choose a compressor with adequate continuous CFM and a suitable pressure regulator. Always consult the specific model's technical sheet for exact CFM/psi requirements.
Cup capacity is customizable. The product supports a range of cup sizes to suit different job types — from small cups for detail work to larger containers for commercial jobs. Contact the supplier to select the cup size appropriate for your application.
After use, relieve pressure, flush the system thoroughly with the appropriate cleaning solvent (water for water-based paint, solvent for solvent-based paint), remove and clean the tip/filters, inspect and clean seals and packing, and lubricate moving parts per the manual. Store components dry and protected from dust. Regular inspection of seals, filters and hoses prolongs life.
Some paints may need slight thinning to flow properly through the pump and tip. Follow the paint manufacturer's guidelines and the sprayer's recommendations. Strain paints through a mesh filter or paint strainer to remove debris before filling the cup to prevent clogs.
They are suitable for home improvement, commercial building exteriors and interiors, furniture refinishing, automotive refinishing, and many art and craft projects. Surface prep (cleaning, sanding, priming) should be done according to the coating and substrate for best adhesion and finish.
Weight varies by model from about 20 kg up to 111 kg. Lighter models are easier to carry for DIY and small jobs; heavier models are intended for industrial or continuous use and may require carts or fixed installation. Choose a model that fits your portability needs and job scale.
Wear appropriate PPE (respirator, goggles, gloves, coveralls), ensure good ventilation, keep away from open flames and ignition sources when spraying flammable coatings, relieve system pressure before maintenance, and never point the spray gun at people or animals. Follow all local safety and fire codes.
Yes — common consumables such as spray tips, filters, seals, and packing kits are typically available. Because this product is offered as OEM, availability and part numbers are provided by the supplier — contact them to order replacements or spares.
Included accessories vary by SKU and supplier. Many basic units include the spray gun, cup and standard tip; hoses, wands and compressors are often optional or sold separately. Confirm the package contents with the seller before purchase.
The product supports customization (color, branding and some configuration choices). As an OEM product, custom orders are typically accepted — contact the manufacturer or supplier with your requirements and lead times for a quote.
Warranty and support terms depend on the supplier or OEM seller. Standard coverages often include limited warranty on defects and availability of technical support and spare parts. Check the seller's warranty policy and request documentation prior to purchase.
