1.      INTRODUCTION

Introduced in 1996, The Newland Atomiser is based on technology originally developed at Cranfield University, nr.Bedford, UK in 1990-92 for airborne spraying of insecticide.

Spinning discs have often been used for atomisation, but a porous cylinder provides better dispersion of liquid over the rotating surface, and together with a brushless dc motor giving reliability at high speed, produces effective atomisation from a more compact device.
