Quote from Fuji manual:"When spraying, always ensure that the Turbine unit is at least 15 feet away from spray project and in a well ventilated area. This will prevent any overspray or debris being ingested into the Turbine. Failure to do this may cause the filters to clog, resulting in damage to the internal motor."

Quite right, and advice I followed. The filters were just not effectively preventing general airborne dust from passing through. There wasn't evidence of any lacquer, etc. caught in them. I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a cheap paper filter cartridge available that would fit the housings, and that would work much better.

I replaced it with a Parker connector obtained locally. The air valve is the cheapest plastic. Tractor Supply has far better in the garden hose bins. Yes, they work better as well. FWIW, when using the Fuji whip with the air valve produces minutely better results if the valve is before the whip. The whip and valve will reduce the airflow significantly, even set full open. Reducing air does not seem to reduce the considerable overspray from the Fuji unit, which seemed comparable to a compressor system without a high level hvlp gun. Venting Concluded.

Thanks for the video. Just to be clear, the Apollo is a 3 stage, while the Fuji is a 2 stage. They may be similar price, but the Apollo has a bit of an advantage. That extra stage won't make much difference with clear finishes, but you'd notice it if spraying latex. I have a two stage and it's a little under-powered for latex, I have to thin it more than I'd like. Another observation - I only saw you spray clear finish, yet you ended up with white dust on the Fuji filter. How does that happen?

Mitch, your comparing Fuji Spray's 2-stage HVLP system to Apollo's 3-stage system is an unfair comparison from a performance perspective. Would you expect a 4-cylinder car to accelerate as quickly as a 6-cylinder model? The true test of a system is its performance, and that you felt both units - despite one being 50% "smaller" - performed the same. I would be very interested in seeing a true "apples to apples" performance test using a Fuji Spray Mini-Mite Platinum 3-stage turbine system, wouldn't you? The Fuji Spray hose is superior because it would flex rather than be permanently crushed if driven over by a car - which is the example you used. The Fuji Spray air valve is far more than merely an on-off valve. It is used to reduce airflow and therefore bounce-back when spraying in confined spaces, such as the inside of a cabinet. Simple. Innovative. You didn't state how far away from the spraying area you placed the turbines, but having used three different turbine manufacturer's systems as a professional finisher with 25+ years on the job, I always place my turbines as far away from the spray booth's potential overspray area as possible. And that's an industry standard practice. Based on the very little bit of spraying you did during your test, as shown by the amount of dried finish on the outside of the Fuji Spray unit's filter, it's quite obvious that your turbine placement was incorrect. Another point to consider is the colour of the filters; a black one (Fuji Spray) will show dramatically more finish than will an orange filter. If you want to perform any future comparisons, ensure you first follow standard industry practices - and manufacturer's recommendations - with regard to trubine placement.
@jadarroch

Mitch didn't compare the spray atomization, which is really the only thing that would change between a 2-stage and 3-stage. The hose and filters are the same as you move up to larger motors in the FUJI range, so you never get good filtration as he pointed out. The FUJI hose is also heavy and not very strong. If you step on it the hose will pinch under you weight, whereas the Apollo hose does not. Nothing to do with more performance mate!
@ApexWoodworks
5 жыл бұрын
You're right that he didn't compare atomization per se, but he did compare the visual results. His conclusion was that they were the same, from which the logical conclusion would be that a Fuji 3-stage unit would be that much better than the Apollo. This has been borne out by head-to-head comparisons in my shop during a 2-day workshop conducted by our woodworking club. The filter issue is quite interesting, isn't it? Clearly operator error, as has already been explained by others; you don't place your turbine in the overspray area. I've been using Fuji systems for the past 15 years and have never experienced such filter contamination. But then, hey, I follow manufacturers' instructions and common sense. As the saying goes "common sense isn't that common". The Fuji hose won't block by stepping on it... unless you weigh over three hundred pounds or so. But as I'd already stated, if the Apollo hose gets crushed (by driving over it with a car as Mitch mentioned), it will be permanently deformed - unlike the resilient Fuji hose. I'd be very interesting to hear what your conclusions are once you've tested the two manufacturer's hoses.

Great Review! Very thorough indeed, the most important thing for me was the filter, as all these bits going through the gun would cause major issues with vehicle restorations! I bought the Apollo on the back of your review and im very pleased. Every spray system has differences to work with, the only thing i have noticed, is if you are spraying a final laquer coat (vehicle), use the turbine for a bit, & make your mix up using a slower thinner, as the warm air tends to dry the spray out making it tricky to get that wet finish. Thanks again for the great review.

I'm no expert on spray system technology, but I believe this has to do with pressure relief in the system. Systems with pressure relief built-in or with aftermarket adapters can use either gun type. Systems without shouldn't use non-bleeder guns. Both types can spray equally well. I like non-bleeder simply because it's quieter in the booth between active spaying, and no matter where I hang the gun it can't disturb anything. I could have a similar effect by having a remote for the compressor power feed. By the way, the non-bleeder bleeds in the initial stage of pulling the trigger, so if you want to blow without spray you can.

Easy to solve by raising the work, if you have the headroom - I didn't. Wasn't too tiring to get the job done without switching hands either.

Darren Beckman I spoke to Apollo/Bambi in the U.K. It is the original “Apollo”, a number of decades. Apparently a guy who worked at Apollo UK left and set up in the US, sold UK Apollo products buying and assembling them as kits then created his own system (inferior) Apollo UK advised.

Anyone who knew me would know such things couldn't sway my opinion. And anyone should seek multiple reviews to form an opinion themselves before making a purchasing decision.

Mitch Peacock - WOmadeOD Agree on multiple reviews, but unfortunately on YT you're the only one. However, don't assume people know you when doing a review. All I know is you're English, like to mention you like tea (not sure why some English folks like to mention this in their videos, seems a bit jingoistic), and are reviewing these HVLPs.

Haha, I don't recall mentioning tea in any of my other videos, but I do like it. Anyway I'm sure you will find reviews elsewhere on the internet.

I am always amazed at reviews where the reviewer doesn't research what they are talking about or experiment. For example, the hoses in this video. He 'thinks' the Apollo hose is steel reinforced and he 'thinks' a car could run over it without damage. Well, why not try it? Your uninformed opinion is worse than useless. Maybe it is just a cheap, hard plastic hose? So I just can't trust anything he says.
