Tech Update
New Low-Velocity, Low-Volume Lube-Spray System
LSP Industries, Inc. has intro-
duced the MinaMizer spray unit,
developed to enhance its LVLP
(low-volume, low-pressure) spray
technology to dispense fluids in
a consistent, continuous and con-
trolled manner. MinaMizer systems
reduce costs, say company offi-

the fluids used, directing them
into the area needed, and minimizing cleanup of the stamped parts and the press. All MinaMizer systems incorporate precision valves and regulators to ensure consistency and independent volume control to each nozzle. Standard systems are available to manage two to six nozzles.
