The airless pump is the professional’s great ally in a multitude of applications, such as spray painting walls and surfaces, spray-applying fillers, spraying waterproofing membranes and much more, and it is used daily in numerous sectors, including joinery, construction, steelwork, industry and even the marine sector.
The advantages of using an airless pump, whether for professional or DIY work, are truly numerous. Among them, it is worth mentioning:
- High, efficient performance thanks to the “air-free” painting method – a spray process in which the product is atomised onto the surface by means of high pressure.
- Even product distribution across surfaces, including very large ones and areas that are hard to reach.
- Elimination of mist formation.
- Great speed of execution combined with greater operator comfort.
- A real reduction in material waste.
- Genuine savings in time and resources.
- High-quality results and maximum application flexibility, since this professional spray painting system can be used on any surface – horizontal or vertical, smooth or rough – reaching even the most hidden corner; and with products of virtually any type, including high-viscosity or “heavy” ones like filler.
The airless pump is, moreover, a reliable, robust and highly versatile work tool that can be customised to your needs thanks to the wide range of accessories available: to find out what they are, take a look at our dedicated article.
Anyone who uses an airless pump for their work should always know the best practices to follow for proper machine maintenance, so as to extend its useful life and reduce the risk of problems. They should also know that, even with correct management of the spray painting system, it may still need spare parts, especially for components subject to normal wear, such as the oil, the diaphragm kits, the high-pressure return tap, the various valves or even the pressure gauge.
Tecnover, the company specialising in the design, manufacture and sale of spray painting systems and machines, offers its customers a complete range of spare parts for professional airless pumps: the spare parts made available are always strictly original, and will therefore deliver the best performance from all Tecnover-branded airless pumps.
But how do you know which spare parts to choose?
Spare parts for airless pumps: how and when to buy them
The important premise in choosing spare parts for airless pumps is, as mentioned above, that the machine’s performance can always be extended over time through proper cleaning and prompt maintenance whenever needed.
In short, this means that taking care of your airless pump reduces the likelihood of having to buy spare parts. To this end, every single component of all Tecnover professional sprayers is engineered to guarantee the best effectiveness in all applications and maximum wear resistance regardless of the products sprayed.
A few examples? The valves and other abrasion-prone parts are made of stainless steel with seats in tungsten carbide (an extraordinarily tough material whose hardness is surpassed only by diamond!) precisely to guarantee a long service life.
However, there are warning signs the user should not ignore which indicate that the airless pump’s performance is beginning to decline, and that it therefore needs maintenance and possibly spare parts.
The first indicator to watch out for is the machine’s inability to hold pressure, especially when the airless pump and/or spray gun are under load. In this case, it is always best to intervene promptly with a complete service, which will restore the system’s full efficiency.
Finally, always opt for original Tecnover spare parts – including suction valves, compression valves, pressure regulation valves, diaphragm kits, shims and oil, all of which the company always keeps fully in stock – because they deliver maximum performance from all branded airless pumps, whose Italian quality, reliability and longevity are by now renowned.
