Proptec™ Series Hydraulic-powered Atomizers

Choose a Proptec™ hydraulic-powered atomizer when any of the following design conditions apply to you:

Mobile applications
Small size and weight of the atomizer is desirable
Environment too hot for an electric motor (e.g. stacks & flues)
Spray environment too corrosive for an electric motor
Cannot risk electricity or electric fields in spray application
Continuous high speeds (5000 RPM or higher) are desired, ie: for high volume fogging or misting applications over 2 gallons per minute (higher power demand).
Very high spray rates (over 4 gallons (16 l ) per minute.
High volume air assist and high volume spray are required in unison
Hydraulic power is available, or there is an engine-driven powersource that could provide hydraulic power

If none of these conditions apply to you, you may want to consider our PENGUIN™series electric powered atomizers.

Proptec atomizers are available in several basic configurations, depending on your needs. If you haven't already visited one of these pages, click the links below to learn more about each type, and how it may apply to your application.

Why a Proptec atomizer?

Very fine to ultra coarse droplet spectrum with nearly any fluid, adjusted by speed and component choice
Atomizer is virtually clog-proof, unaffected by wear
Unique radial spray pattern- standard atomizer:
- Great for cylindrical flows such as seed treaters, prilling, and other bulk treatment processes
- Fast dispersion of fluids over large areas
- Flow rates that are impossible with high pressure nozzles
Conical spray pattern with air-assist option:
- Resists wind to spray long distances
- Directs spray at process
- Incredible mixing of air and spray for excellent coverage or dispersion
- Higher volume of air than air-atomizing nozzles and competing rotary atomizers for longer travel
Efficient, uses ultra high efficiency hydraulic motor, low power draw, runs cool
Incredibly long service life for unattended operation and low operating cost
Flexible configuration: mix and match components to fit your exact needs. Easily reconfigure if your needs change
