VFC Wurster Accelerator

The Vector Wurster Coating Accelerator System improves the performance of the Wurster column bottom spray coating systems.

Accelerated spray rates are used and the product movement is controlled into an enlarged fully atomized spray zone improving coating quality, uniformity and coating times.

The Accelerator spray gun uses increased atomization volume allowing for faster solution application rates and proper atomization of the coating solution. Vector's specially designed perforated plate optimizes particle movement through the spray zone.
