At Capricorn Pumps, we understand the importance of selecting the perfect spray gun for your project. With various options available, navigating the world of spray guns can feel overwhelming. This guide will equip you with the knowledge to choose between different spray gun types, focusing on our specialty: Airless Pumps.
There are two main categories of spray guns: air and air-assisted. Air spray guns utilize compressed air to atomize the paint, creating a fine mist for application. These guns are well-suited for low-viscosity paints and detailed work but can be inefficient with thicker materials.
Air-assisted airless spray guns combine compressed air with a pump to achieve a good balance between atomization and material delivery. However, they still require an air compressor, adding complexity to the setup.
Here at Capricorn Pumps, we specialize in Airless Spray Pumps. These powerful workhorses are ideal for high-viscosity materials like latex paints, enamels, and even certain textured coatings. Airless pumps don't require compressed air. Instead, they rely on a powerful piston or diaphragm to force paint at high pressure through a small nozzle, resulting in a fine finish.
Capricorn Airless Pumps offer several advantages:
Having chosen Airless as your preferred pump type, the next step is selecting between Electric and Gas-powered options.
