AN EXQUISITE PALETTE
TO CHOOSE FROM
MEEFOG™ CONCEPT
MeeFog™ systems offer artists and designers innovative
and robust aesthetic possibilities to create living and
moving pure water fog effects with several methods for
producing ultra-fine fog droplets. Fog adds dimension and
impact to a design, and it can be used to highlight and
accentuate many design elements.
MeeFog™ uses pure water and a special stainless steel,
high-pressure fog nozzle to create billions of ultra-fine fog
droplets that are 1/10” the diameter of a human hair. Since
MeeFog™ is pure water, there are no expensive chemicals to
buy or residues to clean up.
Fog can be used as a medium to modify the visual and
tactile aspects of the ambient environment. Nature is full of
examples of sensational fog and cloud effects—light and
wispy strands of morning mist on a calm lake, swirls and
eddies of mystical low-lying ground fog, huge cumulus
clouds building and rolling over a darkened prairie, thin
fleecy streaks of high altitude cirrus clouds glowing pink in
the afternoon sun, and thick and mysterious clumps of
dense fog clinging to a rocky coast.
Mee Industries has a vision for the future that incorporates
a firm commitment to quality research & development,
product design, and continual excellence. No other
company can compete with our depth of fog products or
our approach to providing fog solutions that have
unlimited possibilities.

Sauter Mean Diameter: The spray from any atomizing nozzle includes a range of droplet sizes.
There are many ways of expressing the average droplet size in a given spray. Sauter mean
diameter is a number used to express the average droplet size in terms of the average ratio of
volume to surface area of the droplets. Since it deals with surface area, sauter mean diameter
is a good way to describe a spray that is to be used for processes involving evaporation. Sauter
mean diameter is the diameter of a hypothetical droplet whose ratio of volume to surface area
is equal to that of the entire spray. Contact Mee Industries for more detailed information and
test results for MeeFog™ nozzles.

HIGH-PRESSURE
PUMP UNITS
MeeFog™ systems use only the highest quality, ceramic plunger pump units.
Pumps have either stainless steel or bronze heads and are designed to operate
at 1000 psi. Pump units with up to 2000 psi operating pressure are also
available. All MeeFog™ pump units are operated at low speeds (usually below
700 rpm) to avoid excessive noise and vibration and to ensure low maintenance
and long pump life. Mee Industries has over 30 years experience with designing
complete pump units in both standard and custom configurations and sizes.
