MILTON, N.Y., March 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sono-Tek Corporation (OTCQB: SOTK) is pleased to announce the release of the next generation ultrasonic generator, the ECHO. The ECHO ultrasonic generator is designed for the highest degree of accuracy and control of ultrasonic spray processes using Sono-Tek's ultrasonic nozzle technology. The ECHO provides the high frequency electrical energy required to operate all frequencies of Sono-Tek ultrasonic nozzles. As with the Sono-Tek standard broadband ultrasonic generator, the ECHO automatically locks onto the ultrasonic nozzle's operating frequency with phase-locked-loop technology. The ECHO offers a multitude of connectivity inputs and outputs, triggering capabilities and fine tuning spray controls, including a new load leveling feature that automatically compensates for changes in flow rate and liquid characteristics such as viscosity, resulting in the most stable spray characteristics and consistent drop sizes for the greatest repeatability of spray possible.

The ECHO's modern digital LCD display of parameters and extreme accuracy over full power range make it a phenomenal upgrade to current users of the broadband ultrasonic generator, and the ECHO's flexible connectivity and user-friendly interface make it a breeze to set up for users who are new to Sono-Tek's ultrasonic technology.

According to R. Stephen Harshbarger, Sono-Tek's President, "The new ECHO generator is a game-changing technology for long time users of Sono-Tek's ultrasonic spray systems and first time users alike, the ECHO generator will allow users to enhance their spray processes and improve efficiency and repeatability more than ever before."

Sono-Tek ultrasonic spray systems are proven in a wide range of precision spray applications worldwide, including implantable medical device coatings such as stents, printed circuit board spray fluxing, solar and fuel cell manufacturing, and glass, food and other industrial coatings applied to any width production lines. Sono-Tek's environmentally friendly ultrasonic spray systems feature up to an 80% reduction in spray material, and dramatic reductions in waste and energy consumption.
