Technical Comparisons: Airless Sprayer Types, Pumps, and Power Options Side by Side
Technical Comparisons puts two options side by side and works through the mechanism behind each, so a contractor or buyer can decide on the job’s requirements rather than on a feature list.
- Spraying Methods and Power Sources: Air vs airless, airless vs roller, and hydraulic vs electric drive.
- Pump and Motor Design: Piston vs diaphragm pumps, brushless vs brushed motors, and how an airless pump builds pressure.
- Sizing and Site Power: Which sprayer size fits the job, generator sizing for electric units, and extension cord limits.
When the comparison points to an electric unit, our electric airless paint sprayers catalog lists the current models.
