Ideal for R&D or low-volume production, the ExactaCoat FC is easily configured with Sono-Tek ultrasonic nozzles to customize spray patterns for your specific application. Spray patterns range from 0.08 - 2" wide (2 - 50 mm).
Optional Equipment:
- Heat plate
- Vacuum plate
- Combined heat/vacuum plate
- Ultrasonic dispersion pump (for keeping suspensions evenly dispersed during coating process)
- MicroFlow recirculation pump (for precise dispense of suspensions at very low flow rates)
- Camera (Passive Vision)

Operating Principle
The Impact System combines Sono-Tek's unique ultrasonic atomizing nozzle with a controlled jet of air from the flat jet air deflector.
The ultrasonically produced spray at the atomizing surface is immediately entrained in the air stream, creating a fan-shaped spray pattern (10-50mm). The velocity of the air stream is controllable, allowing low or high-impact of the atomized spray onto the product or substrate.
The AccuMist(TM) system combines Sono-Tek's unique Microspray ultrasonic atomizing nozzle with low pressure air to produce a soft, highly focused beam of small spray drops.
Compressed air, typically at 1 psi, is introduced into the diffusion chamber of the air shroud, which produces a uniformly distributed flow of air around the nozzle stem.
The ultrasonically produced spray at the tip of the stem is immediately entrained in the low pressure air stream. An adjustable focusing mechanism on the air shroud allows complete control of spray width (2mm - 10mm).
The spray envelope is bow-shaped. The width of the bow is controlled by moving the focus-adjust mechanism in and out.
