Ultrasonic coaters use ultrasonic vibrations to atomise a liquid coating material into a fine mist, which is then sprayed onto a substrate. This process can be used to apply a wide variety of coatings, including paints, inks, adhesives, and sealants. Ultrasonic coaters are particularly well-suited for applying thin, uniform coatings, and they are often used in manufacturing processes where high precision is required.
Benefits of ultrasonic coating include:
- Uniformity of coating thickness
- Controlled thickness
- High adhesion
- Low material waste
- Consistent coating morphology
- Low energy consumption
PI-KEM offers ultrasonic coaters, suited to both research and commercial applications, on behalf of Cheersonic and MTI.
Cheersonic Coaters
Cheersonic benchtop ultrasonic coaters are designed to quickly apply uniform, consistent, and quick-drying coatings. The systems are easy to use, have a high material usage ratio, and can be used to deposit films in the thickness range of 100nm-100μm. They also offer larger equipment more suited for higher production volume and larger substrates.

- For R&D and low-volume production
- 3-axis, programmable coating system (Up to 10,000 sets)
- Coating uniformity of +/- 2%
- Maximum spraying area: 200mm x 200mm to 400mm x 400mm
- Spray patterns adjustable by using interchangeable nozzles (1mm to 80mm)

MTI Coaters
MTI ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP or Mist CVD) coaters are designed to enable thin films to be deposited by spraying a solution on to a heated surface, or through a flame, causing a chemical reaction to take place and a new compound to be formed. This is particularly used in the application of transparent electrical conductors to glass and to prepare perovskite solar cells.
- Benchtop or floor standing
- For R&D up to medium volume pilot line
- 2-axis, programmable coating system
- Single or multi spray heads, ultrasonic or compressive air spray to adjust film thickness
- Maximum spraying area: 150mm x 150mm to 600mm x 300mm (plates, wafers, and tubes)
- Max temperature: 70°C to 500°C
- Glove box compatible
- Standard or high throughput
- Hot plate or hot plate and vacuum options
- Optional camera
- Optional slurry spray nozzle
Also available:
- Roll to roll ultrasonic spray pyrolysis coating system
- Ultrasonic spin-spray coaters (up to 18”); 1 to 3 nozzles; Heater and fume hood optional
- Components to construct own coater
