When it comes to achieving a smooth, professional finish on painting jobs, having high-quality equipment is not enough.
Choosing the right spray tip plays a key role in the final result, influencing coverage, paint consumption and application speed.
In this article, we explain how to choose the most suitable tip for each job, the main factors you should consider and how you can get the most out of the VITO 850 W Airless Paint Sprayer.
A System Designed for Demanding Jobs
With 850 W of power, pressure of up to 3000 PSI and a flow rate of 1.1 litres per minute, the Airless Paint Sprayer pressurises the paint and efficiently delivers it directly to the spray gun, without requiring compressed air.
This process makes it possible to cover medium-sized and large surfaces quickly and evenly.
Its main features include:
Preparing the System Before Application
Correct preparation of the machine is essential to ensure a consistent paint flow, prevent faults during spraying and achieve an even finish from the very first pass. Before starting the job, follow these steps:
1. Select the appropriate tip for the type of application you intend to carry out.
2. Prime the system to remove any air from the circuit and ensure that the paint reaches the spray gun continuously.
3. Carry out a spray test and gradually adjust the pressure until you achieve an even spray pattern.
4. Next, inspect and clean the spray gun filter to ensure that it is not retaining particles or impurities that could interfere with the process.

Why Is Choosing the Right Tip Important?
The tip determines the angle and width of the spray pattern, influencing the area covered with each pass and the amount of paint applied.
NOTE: In addition to the size of the surface, the viscosity of the product must also be considered, as varnishes and lacquers require a different spray pattern from emulsion paints, primers or anti-corrosion coatings.
The VITO 850 W Airless Paint Sprayer can handle a wide range of painting jobs quickly and consistently. However, the final result depends on the combination of the equipment, pressure, type of paint and spray tip used.
By choosing the tip according to the surface and the desired finish, you can increase productivity, reduce interruptions during the job and achieve a more even application.
