Paint Sprayer

Earlex Inc. of Charlotte, N.C., has released an 800-watt, two-stage turbine high volume/low pressure paint spraying system, the Earlex Spray Station 5000.

The Spray Station applies paint evenly, while minimizing overspray and paint waste. It was designed to be lighter and less noisy than typical spray guns. The sprayer can be used to paint siding, sheds, fencing and iron gates.

The high volume/low pressure design allows a turbine motor to feed a high volume of air through the sprayer at a low pressure. The system allows for better spray control and a high quality finish with little or no training. Its spray can be reduced to 1 inch in diameter.

The 12.3-pound unit is Teflon-coated and can hold up to a quart of paint. It comes with a 9.5-foot hose, 5.6-foot cable and two masks.
