HOW DOES AN AIRLESS SPRAY PUMP WORK?

An airless spray machine uses pressure, instead of air, to atomize paint. The high pressure forces fluid through the hose assembly and out through a small opening, called the orifice, or spray tip.

Airless paint sprayers are available 3 different variations – pneumatic, hydraulic and electric. Ultimately the selection of the spray pump is based on product application and user preference. Below is a general guideline:

Pneumatic Pumps

We recommend using pneumatic pumps for large-scale industrial projects. Please keep in mind that all pneumatic units require a compressor.

Pneumatic pumps are widely regarded as the workhorse of the corrosion protection industry. These units combine large-capacity fluid sections with powerful air-driven motors to deliver exceptional performance when applying high-viscosity industrial coatings.

Their robust design enables high fluid output, allowing operators to achieve specified Dry Film Thickness (DFT) requirements in significantly reduced time. In addition, the high operating pressures generated by pneumatic systems support extended hose lengths, offering greater flexibility on large-scale industrial projects compared to other airless pump types.

Electric Pumps

We recommend electric pumps for difficult to reach areas (roof spray) , decorative and waterproofing applications. Larger electric models are capable of handling higher-viscosity coatings.

Electric pumps are powered by high-output electric motors and are valued for their compact design and versatility. Their smaller form factor allows operators to access confined or difficult-to-reach areas more easily than many other airless pump systems.

Typically fitted with smaller fluid sections, electric units are well suited to decorative and fine finishing applications. However, larger electric models are fully capable of handling higher-viscosity coatings. Electric spray pumps are particularly popular for waterproofing applications, as their relatively lightweight construction—often comparable to the weight of a 20-litre bucket of coating—enables operators to transport both pump and material efficiently, including rooftop work environments.

Hydraulic Pumps

We recommend hydraulic pumps for large-scale site establishment and heavy-duty industrial projects. These units are self-contained and powered by integrated diesel or petrol engines, eliminating the need for an external compressed air supply or electrical power source.

Equipped with large-capacity fluid sections, hydraulic systems are capable of handling a broad spectrum of coating materials, ranging from high-build corrosion protection products to decorative and waterproofing applications. Their durability, power, and independence from external utilities make them a preferred choice for demanding and remote job sites

  • Mobile system – can be easily transported for both outdoor and indoor applications
  • Robust and durable design
  • 60 to 90% higher transfer efficiency than conventional spray. 
  • Limited overspray
  • Unmatchable speed – spray up to half a square meter per second (depending on the spray tip size).
  • No solvents needed – spray directly out of paint tip
  • Airless spray guns have large fluid sections and easily accessible filters
  • Gun extensions can be fitted for hard-to-reach areas
  • Wide range of tips allows user to easily adjust fan pattern

No. However, any airless paint sprayer should only be handled by trained personnel.

Because of their high pressure output these machines should be approached with caution. Put sufficient safety measures in place when operating any airless pump or gun. Additionally, please ensure that your operator makes use of the correct PPE.

Your paint data sheet will indicate which size spray tip you will need for your airless spray gun. The size of the tip is usually dependent on the product being sprayed.

Yes. Storm Machinery services and repairs all airless paint sprayers we sell. Please contact our sales team for more information.
