Apollo Sprayers Model 1050VR Showcased at AWFS – World’s Most Advanced Precision HVLP Turbine System – 22% More Power to Atomize Higher Viscosities
Vista, CA. July 19, 2011. This week at AWFS 2011, Apollo Sprayers International, Inc., are showcasing their most advanced HVLP Turbine – Apollo Model 1050VR. The development of Apollo’s Precision Series turbines was inspired by changes in state environmental regulations and increased attention to environmental impacts that are resulting in an industry-wide transition to higher efficiency spray application technology.
John Darroch, Apollo President and CEO said, “We’re proud to have responded to this important challenge with the introduction of Apollo Model 1050VR. Apollo has chosen to not merely meet the regulation standards, but to exceed them.” The new 5-stage has more power in addition to variable speed, pressure control and other unique precision and safety features.
Apollo Model 1050VR has been submitted to the 2011 AWFS Sequoia Award in both the “product innovation” and “green” categories. Says John Darroch, “ The 1050VR is a breakthrough product because, when finishing becomes this easy and controllable, people will have a guaranteed quality finish. They can do more and better work as a direct result of their investment in high quality equipment. It is win/win for everyone – and most of all, it is a win for the environment.”
Not only can the Apollo 1050VR create a superb finish, it offers the user more controllable, more predictable operation and results with the positive outcomes of saving energy, time, amount and cost of coatings. Bill Boxer, Apollo VP and COO, noted that the 1050VR system provides “22% more power to perfectly atomize “green” coatings including waterbornes, and an array of higher viscosities – in fact, just about any contemporary coating.”
Unique technology and precision features:

Apollo Sprayers and Woodcraft Announce New Relationship
Introducing Woodcraft Customers to Apollo HVLP Products
Vista, CA. 24 February 2011. Apollo Sprayers International, Inc., is proud to announce their new relationship with Woodcraft, Supply, LLC. John Darroch, President and CEO of Apollo, said “We are absolutely delighted to ally ourselves with a great company like Woodcraft. We have much in common: a dedication to quality, a passion for giving woodworkers what they need most, and a long history of serving those needs. Woodcraft has been going for more than 80 years, Apollo for more than 40, that’s a great heritage that will benefit woodworkers all over the country.”
The Apollo/Woodcraft relationship will roll out over coming months. Apollo’s Senior VP and COO, Bill Boxer, said that Apollo’s strong reputation in powerful HVLP systems was appealing to Woodcraft. Boxer said, “We’ve been working with in house Woodcraft staff, technical and phone support staff to familiarize them with Apollo products and systems, including the new Apollo Power Series, as they become available through Woodcraft stores, their website and their printed catalog from April, 2011.”
John Darroch said that the association between the two companies would be a great asset to Woodcraft customers, “Woodcraft wanted to meet the exacting requirements of dedicated woodworkers, people for whom an excellent finish is absolutely critical.” Apollo TrueHVLP™ turbine systems have continually evolved through Apollo’s close collaboration with coatings manufacturers so that they are exceptionally well positioned to spray both higher viscosity waterbased coatings as well as the more traditional solvent-based coatings.
Bill Boxer added, “The Woodcraft reputation is such that customers turn to them for information and classes in their in-store classrooms. We’ll be working closely to develop an education program to help everyone who purchases an Apollo Sprayer Turbine System or Conversion gun to achieve the finest finish.”
