Choosing The Right Fine Mist Sprayer

Posted on by

Whether it is measured in mcl, ml, or cc, fine mist sprayers and lotion pump have a specific output volume whenever the actuator is pressed. Output of a lotion pump are generally much higher than a sprayer as the pump has a bigger pump engine to dispense more products, and it is designed for higher output requirements like body lotion, shampoos, hand sanitizers, dish washing soap, etc. The product being dispensed is generally higher in viscosity, such as soap and cream.

 

For fine mist sprayers, the liquid, or low viscosity oil products, are “atomized” in the sprayer engine and sprayed out in a wide, controlled pattern. These sprayers are designed to give a wide area of coverage when products are dispensed. Products are turned into a very fine mist, hence the term atomized, and sprayed in a wide but predictable pattern.

 

Why to Choose Fine Mist Sprayers?

There are a variety of fine mist sprayers at Living Fountain to dispense products by misting. For the best performance, fine mist sprayers should be used to dispense low viscosity products with a water-like consistency. Clogs may occur in dip tubes and sprayer heads if products are too thick.

 

Fine mist sprayers are designed with the user in mind. Spring loaded dispensing and sloped tops require minimal effort for a continuous spray. A clear styrene hood is included with every fine mist sprayer. This highly durable plastic hood fits snuggly into place over the sprayer head to prevent accidental dispensing.

 

Fine mist sprayers can be paired with glass and plastic bottles of various colors. You can try to check out Living Fountain product pages to find ideal bottles.

What are Sprayer or Pump Output and How are They Measured?

Posted on by

Pumps and sprayers commonly have a unit of measure specification – referred to as “output” , which is commonly measured in mcl, ml, or cc. Output determine how much fluid is dispensed each time the pump or sprayer is actuated.

 

MCL, or microliters, is a liquid unit of measurement that is equivalent to 1/1,000 ml, which is pretty small. It is commonly used to indicate fine mist sprayers and regular mist sprayers output.

 

Say you have a fine mist sprayer that has an output of 180 mcl; this would mean that for each spray action, you will get 180 microliters of liquid each time you actuate the sprayer.

 

Lotion pumps and some trigger sprayers, on the other hand, have a larger output capacity so the output measurement is measured in cc or ml. For most, lotion pumps have an output range of 0.5cc-4cc. Some high output pumps have output range of 4cc – 8cc.

 

When choosing the correct sprayer, it is important to understand your product so that you can properly determine the sprayer output for maximum results.

What’s Inside A Fine Mist Sprayer and How Does It Work?

Posted on by

The plastic Fine Mist Sprayer is common for personal care and cleaning products that deliver a fine mist spray when the consumer is dispensing the product. Remember, there are hundreds of unique designs that could require different components then what we are showing here, but this article will give you a general idea of what makes a Fine Mist Sprayer work and how it can turn a stream of liquid into a mist.

 

These are the components that go into a Fine Mist Sprayer:

 

  1. Dust Cap: Often made of PP plastic and very often produced in clear, the dust cap serves as a dust cover and safety cap that protects the actuator from gathering dust and prevents an accidental actuation. To help the package stands out on the shelf, the dust cap can be produced in stock or custom color.

 

  1. Actuator: Commonly made of PP plastic, this is the component that consumer pushes down to spray the product out of the bottle. Different than an actuator on a Lotion Pump, the actuator of a Fine Mist Sprayer has internal components including an insert to create the specific misting pattern of the product being sprayed. Some Fine Mist Sprayers have locking features that prevent accidental dispensing.

 

  1. Actuator Insert: This tiny component consists of channels that the liquid flows through to create the mist pattern. This insert fits on the exterior of the actuator in many cases, and it is the part where the product exits the sprayer.

 

  1. Closure: The component that holds the entire assembly together onto the bottle. It is often made of PP plastic, and can come with many surface finishes or designs – including rib side, smooth, matte, or glossy finishes. A Metal Overshell can also be applied in some cases to further enhance the shelf appeal of the package. This component should have an industry standard neck finish such as 18-410, 20-410, 24-415, etc.

 

  1. Gasket: The external gasket serves as a compressible seal that seals the closure onto the land area of the bottle to prevent leaks. Depending on the product / chemical makeup, different gasket materials are required and it is a critical component that must be tested to ensure compatibility. It can be customized with different materials such as BUNA, Neoprene Rubber, Plastic Rubber, and LDPE.

 

  1. The Mechanism: commonly consists of many components such as the piston, housing cap, stem, spring, seal, and the overall housing, this is the part that transfers the product from the inside of the bottle to the actuator. Commonly speaking, the spring compress as the actuator is pressed downward, drawing the product through the dip tube to the interior of the housing. Subsequent actuation pumps the liquid upward through the piston towards the actuator and exits out of the pump via the actuator insert.

 

  1. Dip Tube: the long, thin plastic tube that extends the reach of the sprayer to the bottom of the bottle. Different than the dip tube of a Lotion Pump, which is often thicker, the dip tube of a Fine Mist Sprayer is often bent slightly to allow it to reach the bottom of the push up area of the bottle and cut either in a “V” shape or at the angle to avoid clogging.

 

The output of a Fine Mist Sprayer is often measured in mcl (micro-liter) or cc and is often offered in a range between 0.12 – 0.18cc.
