Newswise — The Lee Company's new atomizing nozzles, available in both airless and air assisted styles, generate a 50° hollow cone spray pattern and offer precise, controlled atomization in a compact package.

The airless atomizing nozzles do not need an external air supply and will atomize with pressures as low as 20 psi (on water). Standard airless atomizing nozzles feature all stainless steel construction with 6-40 threads designed to work with the Lee 062 MINSTAC fitting system. Available in multiple flow ranges, these nozzles can be installed directly onto a Lee VHS micro-dispense valve for precise flow control using pulse-width modulation (PWM).

The air-assisted nozzles utilize an external air source to control the atomization, allowing lower fluid operating pressures (as low as 5 psi). The pressure of the liquid and the air can be independently controlled to fine-tune the flow rate and nozzle performance.

Atomizing nozzles with special mounting configurations and PEEK wetted materials are available as special requests. Also available are single orifice nozzles for droplet dispensing, and VHS Micro-Dispensing Development Kits which include the valving, nozzles, safety screen, spike/hold driver and tubing for micro-dispensing.
