Lechler Spray Controller 360i

The Lechler LSC 360i controller comes complete with pre-programed specially developed spray software containing various operation and timing modes for simple application selection.

All Lechler spray controller products are powered by Automation Studio™ - software that makes configuring spray automation tasks simple and convenient. All you need to know is:

• What items you wish to control
• The parameters
• The on / off timing
• Run

The Lechler controllers do all the hard work of controlling and optimizing your spray process, leaving you with time to perform other important tasks.

ViscoMist nozzles

The new and improved Viscomist range of nozzles from Lechler have been specially designed to meet the requirements of industries that are required to spray viscous liquids in a controlled manner.

The nozzle comes standard with an anti-spray-back feature that prevents the sprayed liquids from coating the nozzle faces, which is vital when used in continuous process environments.

The ViscoMist offers independent regulation of both atomizing and fan air allowing infinite variable control over the spray pattern and droplet size. Manufactured to the highest standards of engineering with a choice of Nickel Plated Brass or Stainless Steel makes this nozzle most suited for highly technical applications.

Various flow capacities are available with interchangeable fluid and air cap to suit your application. For highly viscous liquids custom made electrically heated jackets are available to reduce the viscosity and assist with spray performance.

Pneumatic Atomizing nozzles

Pneumatic atomizing nozzles are available in various designs to comply with specific spray and flow requirements:

• Self-aspiration (siphon principle)
• Supply of liquid from a vessel located at a higher level (gravity principle)
• Supply of liquid under pressure (pressure principle)
• Mixing of fluids inside or outside the nozzle
• Full cone or flat fan spray pattern available in all configurations

For many applications, adjusting the liquid flow and, thereby, the droplet size, is possible with the aid of manually operated accessory components. A pneumatically controlled piston allows automatic or intermittent operations. A number of special customized designs complete the nozzle range.

The criteria for selecting pneumatic atomizing nozzles

1. Spray pattern

Pneumatic flat fan atomizing nozzles should be chosen for humidifying and cooling of goods, for web dampening and for a number of painting tasks; in short, wherever a braod linear impact is required.

Pneumatic full cone atomizing nozzles, however, should be used, when a compact, circular impact or a major reach is required, e.g. for direct air humidifying, for gas cooling or for chemical process applications.

2. Mode of liquid supply

Whenever liquid can be supplied under pressure, it is recommended to use nozzles functioning by the liquid pressure principle. Use of pneumatic atomizing nozzles operating to the siphon or the gravity principle is recommended when liquid is to be sprayed in small quantities, e.g. for spraying of disinfectants.

3. Mixing of fluids

The supply of air or gas provides an additional breaking up of the liquid flow into fine drop particles. This supply and mixing can either take place inside or outside the nozzle.

Inside mixing should be preferred, when water, or low viscosity liquids or liquids without solid matter are to be atomized.

Outside mixing is particularly suited for atomizing viscous liquids which are prone to impurities and therefore tend to cause clogging of the nozzle. Low liquid pressures are used with this type of nozzle due to its design.
