781Mini Series Spray Valve

4

Introduction

The 781Mini precision Low Volume Low Pressure 
(LVLP) liquid spray valve is designed for high transfer 
efficiency without overspray or airborne mist and 
provides consistent coating application of low-to-
medium viscosity fluids. 781Mini spray valves are 
simple to use and will operate many millions of cycles 
without maintenance. 

The fluid body offers 360° rotational movement, 
allowing the fluid inlet to be positioned in the best 
orientation for fluid feed to the valve.

The valve’s unique quick-release (QR) clasp secures 
the fluid body to the air cylinder body and can be 
removed in seconds for fast change-out and easy 
cleaning and maintenance of the valve’s wetted parts.

How the 781Mini Valve Operates

Input air pressure at 4.8 bar (70 psi) retracts the 
piston and needle from the needle seat in the nozzle, 
permitting fluid flow through the nozzle. At the same 
time, nozzle air flows around the liquid exiting the 
nozzle. This adjustable nozzle air creates a pressure 
drop around the nozzle, causing the liquid to atomize 
into fine droplets.

The amount sprayed is controlled by the valve open 
time, reservoir pressure, and needle stroke. The area 
of coverage is determined by the nozzle size and the 
distance between the nozzle and the work surface.

Once the cycle is complete, air pressure is exhausted, 
causing the piston spring to return the needle back to 
its position in the nozzle, stopping fluid flow.
