Fuji q: 50% quieter
The Fuji Q5 Platinum is the quietest 5-stage HVLP spray system available — for the ultimate in power.
Quietest HVLP turbines on the market — quieter than a normal conversation! The Fuji Q5 PLATINUM is the most luxurious of all, adding a Variable Speed Control Dial to the turbine. This lets you adjust the motor speed to adapt the PSI/CFM to the exact finish you’re using — to minimize overspray and bounce back.
Except for the Fuji Q5 PLATINUM system, the Q spray systems are exactly like the award-winning Mini-Mite spray systems, but much quieter, with less whine in the sound — and the Q systems are larger and heavier.
Fuji Q PLATINUM Spray Systems — Quiet Luxury HVLP Systems
The Fuji Q Platinum HVLP spray systems are the luxury level of HVLP spray systems. Fuji uses patented noise reduction technology with each Fuji Q system, to reduce turbine sound by 50 percent. (The “Q” stands for “Quiet.”) The 3-stage Fuji Q3 is the quietest HVLP spray system you can buy, at only 58 decibels 20 feet from the turbine.
Each additional fan adds some noise with the increased power, but even the powerful 5-stage Fuji Q5, with 9.5 PSI, tests at just 60 decibels (db) at 20 feet from the turbine. This level of sound is quieter than normal conversation. Imagine being able to spray while listening to music, talking normally with an assistant, or without disturbing others in a nearby room!
Tests in 2017 at Wood Magazine measured the mid-level Fuji Q4 sound level at 72 db just 10 feet from the turbine. (That’s quieter than the sound of most toilets flushing, and you’d normally have the turbine much further from the spray area.) Compare this with the more intense 78 decibels of the Mini-Mite 3 measured (10 feet away) in the same Wood Magazine test.
Not Just Quiet — Also Comfort, Performance, Results
The Wood Magazine review praises the Fuji Q3 Platinum for adding quiet to its top value choice, the Mini-Mite 3. The comparison tests there include the Fuji Q4 Platinum, which was the only one of the nine HVLP systems tested that earned a perfect A (Excellent) rating on every single factor. The reviewer recommends the Q4 Platinum if you need the power of a 4-stage system.
Variable Speed Control Dial - Fuji Q5 Platinum
The Fuji Q Platinum systems share all the advantages of the award-winning Mini-Mite Platinum, using the same motors and spray guns — but add the patented noise-suppression technology to cut the sound level in half. The Q5 systems also include a variable speed control dial on the turbine, to optimize the air flow for the exact finish you’re spraying.
How Does the Fuji Q Noise Reduction Work?
From Fuji Spray:
Fuji Spray® has reduced turbine noise levels by over 50% without causing any unwanted challenges, such as overheating through air restriction. Fuji Spray® does not surround the turbine motor with soundproofing material, but rather uses a method that allows the turbine motor to sit in an all-metal enclosure the way that standard turbines do.
The Fuji Spray® Quiet turbines have computer-designed airflow configurations that completely eliminate ‘direct sound paths’ found on ALL low- to mid-priced HVLP turbine systems available today.
These direct sounds paths, or DSP’s, are responsible for the noise. In fact, when the Fuji Spray® Quiet turbine is placed across the room, the low hiss of air passing through the spray gun when the trigger is engaged is more noticeable than the turbine. Fuji Spray® Q PLATINUM™ Series turbines are protected by US Patent No.6644913.
Three Fuji Q Spray Systems, Three Spray Gun Choices
Depending on the power and speed you need, choose among Fuji Q Platinum stages: (These links take you to details further down the page.) There are 9 Fuji Spray Q systems in all, because each stage offers you a choice among three excellent spray guns.
The 3-stage Fuji Q Platinum 3 (6.5 PSI)
The 4-stage Fuji Q Platinum 4 (9.0 PSI)
The 5-stage Fuji Q Platinum 5 (9.5 PSI)
Each of these Fuji Q Platinum systems comes with your choice of three spray guns, the T70, T75G, and redesigned, pressurized Gxpc. For each system and spray gun choice, I also have money-saving Fuji Q Platinum packages that include extra parts and accessories. Not sure which spray gun to order? See Help Choosing Spray Guns.
You can also order just the Fuji Q Turbine
If you already have the spray gun you love, but yearn for the quiet of a Fuji Q Platinum turbine — yes, I sell the Fuji HVLP turbines separately, along with Fuji HVLP hoses and all the accessories.
