- Use screws to fix shafts to the underside of the spray coater.
- Align the gantry on the shafts, select appropriate height and fix in place.
- Use the markings on the shafts to define the distance between the substrate and spray head.
- To assemble the syringe mount, place the pressure syringe in the the holder and connect the appropriate tubing.
- Fix the syringe mount to the gantry with the thumb screw.
- Then fix your spray coating head (or heads) using the alignment pins and thumb screw.
- For the pressure regulator, first connect the central port to the outlet port on the spray coater body.
- Then connect the 7 bar regulator to the spray head air/gas inlet, and the 3.5 bar regulator to the syringe inlet.
- Finally, connect the syringe tubing to the spray coating liquid inlet.
- Make sure the on/off ball valves are connected to the exhaust of the 7 and 3.5 bar regulators. This allows you to set individual pressures, while isolated from the spray head.

Spray Coating: Droplet Formation and Deposition
Spray deposition or spray coating is a scalable wet-coating technique used in many applications. A spray coater can be used in many industries to coat large substrates or objects with odd shapes. The flexibility of the applicator and robustness of the process means that spray coating can be adapted to coat almost anything.

Spray Coater Air Atomizing Head Assembly
Internal vs. external mixing refers to whether the spray coating droplets are formed inside or outside the spray coating head. In internal mixing spray heads, the movement of pressurized gas past the liquid reservoir draws solution out, forming an atomized stream.
