SpraySpy – Analysis and monitoring for Sprays & Atomization

The analysis of drops and particles in flows is often an essential monitoring or diagnostic task in process engineering, for example in spray coating. For various reasons existing particle measurement systems are not suitable for those applications, especially if non transparent drops, like in suspensions or emulsions, are to be characterized in size and velocity.

Different patented innovations are combined in SpraySpy®. The result is a real-time in-situ measurement system for R&D and inline process measurements.

Facts:

– Measurement of the individual droplet velocity and size

– Detection of the volume flow rate, the droplet momentum and the concentration of particles within droplets are possible
– Analysis of all kind of liquids
– Non invasive and inline measurement, developed for inline applications in production processes
– Flexible and convenient useage without calibration
– Explosion protected (ATEX) and high voltage proof version for electro static painting available

Field of Applications: 

– Various R&D applications
– Monitoring of spray processes for the quality management
– Characterization or comparision of sprays, lacquers, nozzles or spray guns
– Smart maintenance of spray equipment

Measurement range:

– Droplet & particle size range: ~ 1 µm – 1000 µm
– Droplet velocity:                          1 m/s – 100 m/s
