What is the ultrasonic spray coating?

Ultrasonic spray technology, also known as ultrasonic atomization or ultrasonic atomization, is a technology used to accurately generate fine droplets or particles of liquid. It uses ultrasonic vibrations to break down liquids into very small and uniform droplets, and can be used in various industries such as coatings, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and materials science. The material to be sprayed is first in a liquid state, and the liquid can be a solution, sol, suspension, etc. The liquid coating is first atomized into fine particles by an ultrasonic atomizer, and then evenly coated on the surface of the substrate by a certain amount of carrier gas, thereby forming a coating or film. The biggest difference between ultrasonic spraying and traditional single-fluid or two-fluid spraying is that the atomizer or atomizer nozzle uses an ultrasonic atomizer, that is, an ultrasonic nozzle.

An automated ultrasonic spray coating system typically consists of the following components:

Ultrasonic Nozzles: These are responsible for creating a fine mist of the coating material.
Motion Control System: It can be used to move the nozzles or the substrate being coated in a precise pattern.
Fluid Delivery System: To supply the coating material to the nozzles.
Control Unit: This is where the programming comes in, to orchestrate the operation of all the above components.

How the syringe pump work for coating?

The automated ultrasonic spray coating machine combined with the generator, spray nozzle and the liquid supply system. We use the continuous liquid supply system with two tubes. It can continuous transmission liquid to the nozzle. The system has LCD display, you can operate very easy by the touch screen. You can set all the data on the touch screen. The syringe pump has high precision control.  The flow rate is from 0.01ml/min to 70ml/min.

A continuous ultrasonic syringe pump for coating is a specialized piece of equipment that combines the functions of a continuous - flow syringe pump and ultrasonic technology to achieve high - quality coating applications. Here is a comprehensive introduction:

Syringe and Pump Mechanism: The syringe serves as the reservoir for the coating material. The pump mechanism, typically driven by a motor (such as a stepper or servo motor), moves the plunger of the syringe at a regulated speed. This enables a continuous and accurate flow of the coating liquid from the syringe to the target surface.
Ultrasonic Transducer: Made of piezoelectric materials, the ultrasonic transducer converts electrical energy into high - frequency mechanical vibrations. These vibrations are transmitted to the coating liquid as it passes through the system.
Control System: It allows users to set and adjust various parameters such as the flow rate of the syringe pump, ultrasonic power, frequency, and the duration of the coating process. The control system ensures precise and repeatable operation.
Nozzle or Dispensing Head: This component is responsible for directing the atomized coating material onto the substrate. Different nozzle designs can be used to achieve various spray patterns, such as a narrow jet or a wide - angle fan.

Working Principle

Continuous Liquid Delivery: The pump mechanism pushes the plunger of the syringe at a constant speed, providing a continuous stream of the coating material. The flow rate can be precisely controlled according to the specific requirements of the coating task, whether it's a thin film or a thicker layer.
Ultrasonic Atomization: As the coating liquid flows through the area where the ultrasonic vibrations are present, the high - frequency vibrations break the liquid into tiny droplets. This atomization process results in a fine and uniform mist of the coating material.
Enhanced Coating Properties: The ultrasonic energy not only atomizes the liquid but also has additional effects on the coating. It can reduce the surface tension of the coating material, improving its wetting ability on the substrate. This leads to better adhesion and a more uniform coating distribution.

Advantages

Uniform Coating Thickness: The combination of continuous flow and ultrasonic atomization ensures that the coating is applied evenly across the substrate, resulting in a consistent coating thickness. This is crucial for applications where precise thickness control is required, such as in microelectronics and optical coatings.
Reduced Coating Defects: The fine atomization helps to minimize the formation of defects like streaks, bubbles, or uneven patches in the coating. This leads to a higher - quality finish and better performance of the coated product.
Improved Adhesion: The ultrasonic - induced reduction in surface tension and the mechanical agitation of the coating material enhance its adhesion to the substrate. This results in a more durable coating that is less likely to peel or delaminate.
Versatility: It can handle a wide range of coating materials, including viscous polymers, solvents, and aqueous solutions. This makes it suitable for various industries and applications.

Applications

Electronics: Coating printed circuit boards (PCBs) to protect against moisture, dust, and electrical shorts. It can also be used for applying conductive or insulating coatings on semiconductor devices.
Optics: Applying anti - reflective, hydrophobic, or other functional coatings on lenses, mirrors, and optical filters to improve their optical performance.
Medical Devices: Coating catheters, stents, and other medical implants with biocompatible materials to enhance their biocompatibility and reduce the risk of thrombosis or infection.
Automotive and Aerospace: Applying thin protective or decorative coatings on small - scale components, such as sensors or interior parts, to improve their durability and appearance.
