ASTUROMEC HVLP Spray Guns 

 

Walcom spray guns are manufactured in Italy to the most exacting standards for professional woodworkers and automobile finishers. They are  distributed in the USA by Walcom USA.  All warranties, parts and service are handled here in the United States. The Genesi, SLIM, and EGO series are the premier HVLP lines in this series and feature low air consumption, great transfer efficiency and low overspray.

We've been after spray manufacturers for years to create special guns tjhat will spray waterborne finishes better. Walcom has done it with their Genesi lineup - all guns now have a H20 (waterborne) aircap option. These aircaps are machined slightly different so they atomize waterbornes coatings better. No one else does this! In case you're wondering which gun we like the best the waterbornes, it's the Genesi HTE

WALCOM GENESI SYSTEM

Walcom Genesi is the result of 15 years of work by one of Italy's premier industrial spray gun companies. The design of this series builds upon the success of the GEO and HVLP series below, but with improved access to parts and overall user maintenance. Gone are the large mono-block nozzles that required the spanner wrench and there is no gasket between the nozzle and gun body. The compound needle/air plunger does away with the separate air valve behind the trigger. The cups feature a gasket for better seating and the gun bodies are more ergonomic. For other differences click here.

We are introducing Genesi HTE, a unique gun that delivers transfer efficiency of 65% but with higher tip pressure (around 17psi). This insures excellent atomization, particularly with waterborne finishes. In addition, Walcom has engineered a specially designed aircap for waterbornes that incorporates different tolerances and machining. Since waterborne usage is way ahead of the US in Europe, Walcom pays particular attention to the special needs of these products by offering a special aircap.

WALCOM SLIM SYSTEM

The SLIM HVLP & HTE (High Transfer Efficiency) system from Walcom incorporates all the same features as the GENESI  system, but with a slightly smaller body and atomizing head. This ergonomic gun is lighter weight and a smaller footprint, making it less fatiguing to use and easier to control. All wet parts are stainless steel and all guns have a tested transfer efficiency of 80%. The HTE gun is without a doubt one of the best guns I've ever used with waterborne products and it's lower cost make it perfect for the hobbyist or homeowner. 1 year parts and labor warranty.

 

The SLIM air cap is multi- ported on the horns (see photo left) to provide the extra atomization necessary for difficult to atomize finishes. Combined with the smaller annular ports around the center you can spray heavy, medium and thin viscosity finishes. You can spray any paint and primer through this gun with the proper setup.
