Product catalog summary
Introduction to ULV Cold Fogging Applicators
Fontan offers a range of ULV (Ultra Low Volume) cold fogging applicators designed for efficient and economic control of insects, pests, fungi, viruses, and bacteria. These applicators are suitable for plant protection, stock protection, health and hygiene, and disinfection measures.

Specifications and Features
  • Fontan Twinstar: Features two height-adjustable blower/stator systems, a 34-liter tank, and programmable automatic operation. It offers double the output capacity compared to Compactstar and Turbostar.
  • Fontan Turbostar: Includes a height-adjustable blower/stator system, a 34-liter tank, and programmable automatic operation. Identical in output capacity and droplet quality to Compactstar.
  • Fontan Compactstar: Available with 15 or 34-liter tanks, semi-automatic operation, and an optional timer accessory.
  • Fontan Starlet: Portable with a spray gun for intermittent or continuous operation, available in ULV or LV modes, and with tank capacities of 6, 11, or 34 liters.

Operational Mechanism
The applicators use maintenance-free, low-pressure rotation pumps to produce high-velocity air flow, creating a Venturi effect that atomizes the spraying liquid into a fine aerosol fog. The blower/stator system ensures even droplet distribution up to 60 meters.

Applications and Usage
Fontan applicators are used in various settings, including greenhouses, warehouses, public and private areas, and livestock industries. They are effective for pest control, plant protection, and disinfection.

Performance and Efficiency
The applicators provide uniform coverage with a variation coefficient of 11.3%. The flow rate is adjustable through different dosage nozzles, and the fogging process includes automatic cleaning and shutdown features.

Certifications
Fontan applicators are certified as compliant with DIN EN ISO 9001 standards.

In spraying terms, ULV (Ultra Low Volume) is defined as the smallest volume of liquid required which is necessary to achieve the treatment objective. Generally, using the ULV spraying mode, the quantity of spraying liquid required lies between 0.5 and 50 litres per hectare, depending on the environment and treatment objective. As a rule, for mosquito control, the volume required tends to be at the lower end of the range, whereas for plant protection in plantations and greenhouses, it is at the higher end of the range. In 1979, we introduced the first electrically driven Fontan ULV fine spraying...

The Fontan cold fogging applicators Twinstar, Turbostar and Compactstar are driven by electric motors. Maintenance-free, low pressure rotation pumps, which require no lubrication, produce an air flow at high velocity, which is further accelerated by a swirl vane in the nozzle module. The resulting Venturi effect produces a negative pressure, which draws the spraying liquid via the suction hose to the nozzle module, where the liquid is atomized into a fine aerosol fog. The low pressure method makes it possible to use spraying nozzles that have relatively large bores, so that even wettable powder...

Fontan Compactstar in a greenhouse Blower and stator system The stator directs the air flow, without turbulence, and guarantees droplet transportation up to a distance of 60 m. The power of the blower and the design of the stator provide a uniform coverage, even for large areas and rooms. Fog produced by Fontan Turbostar, Twinstar and Compactstar – Permanent agitation of the fogging mixture to maintain a stable suspension in the spraying tank. It is possible to switch off this function. – Timer for the preselection of the starting time. Our design of the blower/stator system guarantees an extremely...

Disinfection in a hospital with Fontan Starlet The spray gun of the Fontan Starlet has a trigger for intermittent fogging and a locking device for continuous operation. The Fontan Starlet can be operated in either ULV (Ultra Low Volume) application mode or in LV (Low Volume) mode. The flow rate is selectable by a variety of dosage nozzles. Typical droplet distribution generated by the Fontan Starlet with dosage nozzles 74 and 100 in the spraying modes ULV (Ultra Low Volume) and LV (Low Volume).
