HEI Ultimix - Spray Nozzles
HEI manufactures the unique Ultimix™ dual fluid atomizing nozzle technology. This air-atomizing nozzle is superior to others when droplet size is a factor in the selection of a spray nozzle. Maximum drop sizes range from 1 to 20 microns for the various models of low flow spray nozzles, and flow rates vary from 0.15 to 25 GPH. Flexibility is paramount as a wet or dry spray is achieved, and spray angles can be altered by merely regulating air and water pressure. Standard materials of construction are stainless steel.
Regardless of the application, the heart of any system is based on the capabilities of the Ultimix™ nozzle. It is a self-cleaning air or gas driven acoustic oscillator for atomizing any liquid by passing it through a field of high-frequency sound waves. Compressed air is accelerated through a converging section and then allowed to expand through a diverging section into a resonator cavity, where it is then reflected to complement and amplify the primary shock wave. Any liquid capable of being delivered to the shock wave is shattered into very fine droplets.
