The Lee Company offers a complete line of nozzles, capable of providing precise dispensing or atomization of fluids. Available in several different mounting styles, these nozzles can be integrated with our VHS Series solenoid valves or used separately and connected with soft flexible tubing.
The dispensing nozzles can be mounted to our VHS Series valves or manifolds for dispensing applications. Available in different mounting styles, this setup not only reduces the overall size, but more importantly, it minimizes the amount of transition fluid between the valve sealing surface and nozzle which improves the overall reaction time at the system level.
The atomizing nozzles are available in both air-assisted and airless designs. Our air-assisted nozzles provide atomization with as little as 5 psi of fluid and air. These nozzles are available for use with soft flexible tubing. The airless nozzles provide atomization at relatively low pressures (30 psi) without the need for an external air source.
All nozzles are made with materials that will ensure reliable, consistent, long-term performance. The Lee Company can customize performance to meet specific application requirements.

The Lee Visco-Jet Micro-Mixer uses aerospace technology to provide the ultimate in static mixing efficiency. A series of 36 critically controlled spin chambers subject the incoming liquids to a vigorously repeated mixing process. No electrical or mechanical input is required – the mixing energy is drawn from the liquids themselves.
Two sizes are currently offered, differing primarily in their internal volume, to optimize system performance.
Each mixing chamber induces tangentially spinning fluids to reduce their radius of rotation to allow passage into the next chamber, thus increasing angular velocity. This rapidly spinning column of liquid must then reverse its own direction of rotation in order to progress to subsequent spin chambers. The result is a vigorously repeated mixing process.
The mixing in a Lee Visco Mixer is a relatively brief process. The throughput time of the mixer is directly related to the flow rate. The more flow, the briefer the throughput time. It is during this throughput time that the two input flows are combined together for mixing. Any irregularities in either of the input flows will tend to be time averaged during the throughput time of the mixer.
Lee Orifices are economical, reliable, highly accurate miniature restrictors. These orifices are 100% flow tested to ensure that every part is within ±5% of its nominal flow rate (tighter flow tolerances are available as special orders). Tight flow tolerances are only possible if entrance and exit conditions are closely controlled. This provides far more accuracy than an orifice specified by hole tolerance. An ordinary hole held to a very tight hole tolerance will not result in a tight follow tolerance.
The Lee Company offers a wide variety of configurations for installation into metal or plastic housings and fittings. They are also available in gas or liquid versions. Gas orifices are tested on clean dry nitrogen and liquid orifices are tested on distilled water. Great care is taken to ensure the accuracy of our automated test systems. To further increase accuracy, orifices are tested in the direction of use.
