(Left) Ability to control atomized spray to desired area for multiple coating applications.
(Above) Extended horn 60 kHz ultrasonic nozzle allows atomizing surface to reach into BCT inner diameter during liquid dispense.
Sono-Tek ultrasonic nozzle technology is a well-known, proven technology that produces a low-velocity spray with a controlled drop size.
- Non-clogging ultrasonic technology minimizes downtime, with low maintenance
- Ultrasonic atomization allows extremely small batch production (1 ml/hr flow rate)
Ultrasonic nozzles operate by converting a high-frequency electrical signal from Sono-Tek’s Broadband Ultrasonic Generator, fed into two electrodes sandwiched between two piezoelectric transducers, into mechanical expansion and contraction of the transducers. This causes vibrations to be sent down the nozzle’s titanium horn, ultrasonically vibrating at the nozzle's atomizing tip. Liquid emerging onto the atomizing surface is broken into a spray by the ultrasonic energy concentrated there. This ultrasonic nozzle design provides an easily controllable atomized spray that cannot clog because of the large feed orifice and the self-cleaning ultrasonic vibration
