Instant Quantitative Analysis

Eliminate guesswork with true planar spray cross-sections.

With the right data at your fingertips, you can optimize your spray footprint and detect spray quality issues quickly and easily.

SprayScan mPT is engineered for precision-obsessed companies where coverage is critical — such as coating, lubrication, food glaze, and web treatment lines. By projecting a precision laser sheet beneath the nozzle orifice, the mPT illuminates droplets as they pass through the plane, capturing full cross-sectional spray geometry in seconds.

What It Does

Precision Capabilities for Demanding Processes

With the patented SprayScan mPT system, quality and manufacturing teams gain instant, deterministic measurement at the point of application.

01 / CAPTURE

Capture Spray Pattern Characteristics

Record spray pattern cross-sections, including size, shape, width, angle, and transverse distribution profiles in seconds, using non-intrusive planar sheet-laser illumination.

Deterministic Metrics · Optical Capture

02 / VERIFY

Quickly & Easily Verify Uniformity

Verify spray uniformity and coverage instantly across the target substrate. Catch dry streaks, heavy ridges, and unatomized fluid droplets before defects appear on parts.

Uniform Film Build · Defect Prevention

03 / EVALUATE

Evaluate Operating Changes In-Situ

Assess the immediate impact of chemistry changes, fluid viscosity, and line pressure adjustments on the spray pattern while the nozzle is actively spraying on your line.

Real-Time Observation · Viscosity Shifts

04 / BENCHMARK

Document & Benchmark Performance

Compare active nozzles against baseline master specifications over time to determine objectively if nozzle maintenance, cleaning, or replacement is required.

Predictive Maintenance · Wear Tracking

Application & Partnership

Agricultural Spray Characterization with TeeJet®

Spray Analysis and Research Services collaborates with TeeJet Technologies to apply SprayScan mPT technology to agricultural spray applications.

By assessing spray pattern uniformity and dispersed droplet behavior across agricultural boom nozzles, operators and agronomists can reduce off-target deviation risk, optimize chemical application, and safeguard crop yield.

Broad Industrial Versatility

Beyond agricultural testing, mPT is actively deployed across:

  • Automotive: Stamping die lubrication and chassis anti-corrosion coating
  • Food Processing: Uniform oil, butter, and moisture laydown on bakery webs
  • Metals & Steel: Continuous casting water spray and roll cooling diagnostics
  • Chemical & Pharma: Tablet coating and fluid bed granulator nozzle validation
