In contrast, the ultrasonic nozzle has a large opening for the liquid, which does not clog. Furthermore, the ultrasonic vibration provides a self-cleaning mechanism for Sono-Tek's nozzles, which provides additional insurance against clogging, in addition to using less liquid than traditional pressure nozzles. This system can be configured in a variety of widths, up to 120" or beyond, if needed. Multiple solutions can be supported in a single frame as well.

Sono-Tek CEO Dr. Christopher L. Coccio, stated, "Sono-Tek's WideTrack Textile Coater offers the textile industry a key advantage in competing with offshore manufacturers by saving them energy and chemicals in the application of performance finishes. There is an added environmental benefit in that less chemical and water use means less clean up afterwards, and a smaller carbon footprint. We are very excited about the potential applications for our textile coater, as the industry becomes familiar with this game-changing technology."

"We also see additional benefits in allowing a manufacturer to apply two independent coatings, one to each side of a fabric simultaneously. This approach opens the door to fabrics that may attract moisture from one side, yet repel it on the other, resulting in a new type of performance fabric."

Sono-Tek Corporation is a leading developer and manufacturer of liquid spray products based on its proprietary ultrasonic nozzle technology. Founded in 1975, the Company's products have long been recognized for their performance, quality, and reliability.
