SprayScan® SDA — Spray Deposition Analysis

Digitize coating distribution and uniformity across moving targets, web lines, and substrate lines.

SprayScan SDA evaluates how liquid actually deposits onto target substrates. By analyzing contrast, optical density, and thickness accumulation across moving conveyors and parts, SDA bridges the gap between free-stream nozzle spray distribution and real-world substrate coating performance.

Substrate Deposition Profiling

Measure real liquid laydown on moving targets.

Evaluating free-stream spray is only half the equation — real performance is determined on the substrate.

Designed by Spray Analysis & Research Services to operate in rugged manufacturing plants, SDA measures real coating deposition on moving parts, wide rolls, and strip conveyors. Line engineers detect edge pull-back, center puddling, and transfer efficiency losses in real time, locking in consistent coating thickness at production speeds up to 1,200 meters per minute.

What It Does

Precision Coating & Laydown Analytics

Bridge the gap between free-stream nozzle spray distribution and real-world substrate coating performance.

00 / DROPLET SIZING

Water-Sensitive Paper (WSP) Drop Sizing

Import scanned water-sensitive papers or substrate coupons to immediately extract comprehensive droplet stain statistics: Average, Median, Minimum, and Maximum droplet diameters.

Optical Digitization · Stain Diameters

01 / PROFILING

Substrate Deposition Profiling

Evaluates fluid laydown on real moving parts, coil stock, and continuous webs rather than stationary collection plates or off-line coupon samples.

Moving Targets · Dynamic Laydown

02 / EFFICIENCY

Transfer Efficiency Optimization

Quantifies fluid bounce-back, entrainment loss, and overspray margins to ensure the maximum percentage of applied material adheres to the target.

Overspray Reduction · Cost Control

03 / UNIFORMITY

Edge-to-Edge Web Uniformity

Identifies starved thin edge margins, heavy center puddling, and longitudinal ribbing across wide continuous web and coil coating processes.

Edge Taper Analysis · Web Quality

04 / MULTI-LAYER

Multi-Layer & Primer Verification

Supports comparative multi-pass inspection across primer, basecoat, topcoat, and sealant layers to ensure strict coating spec compliance.
