Micron Sprayers Ltd, established more than 60 years ago, are world renowned specialists in the design of rotary atomisers for industry, agriculture, forestry, public and animal health spray applications. Micron rotary atomisers produce precisely controlled droplet sizes which can be selected according to spray application requirements while offering low maintenance and energy requirements.
Micron’s new designs for industrial applications use brushless motor technology for prolonged and maintenance free operation. Two models are available, a larger direct drive unit with flow capacities of up to 180 litres per hour and the more compact Micromiser unit which can provide spray rates of up to 18 litres per hour. Spray droplet size can be controlled by rotational speed and can typically be selected anywhere within the range 40-400µm.
These centrifugal energy atomisers do not require high liquid pressures, compressed air or small orifices resulting in less risk of blockages as well as eliminating nozzle wear and any associated degradation of spray quality. The precise control of droplet size allows for fine adjustment of liquid delivery maintaining consistency and avoiding product waste.
The newly developed sectorial Micromiser unit can be mounted for conveyor belt applications to deliver a continuous fan spray. By adjusting the height and angle of the atomiser, spray can be delivered in precisely controlled bands without overspray or airborne particles being generated. This provides for a highly versatile atomiser, with droplet size and flow rate adjustable in order to meet the requirements of each process.
Alongside spray coating, applications include rinsing, cooling, wetting (moistening), humidification and odour and dust control.
