New Squeeze Nebulizer Contest

New Squeeze Nebulizer Contest now is over!

New Squeeze Nebulizer Contest: Desall and a multinational leader in the packaging industry invite you to design a new squeeze nebulization system for liquids specifically designed for disposable bottles.

Short description

Desall and a multinational leader in the packaging industry invite you to design a new squeeze nebulization system for liquids specifically designed for disposable bottles.

The goal is to find a new mechanical dispensing system that can nebulize liquids into the air through the compression (squeezing) of a dedicated area, a specific component, or the entire disposable bottle. The proposed solution must offer an innovative mechanism or type of interaction that sets it apart from the current market offerings, with a focus on environmental sustainability and minimizing the number of components needed for operation.

Organiser invites you to design a mechanical nebulizer that operates differently from aerosol nebulizers. Unlike aerosol nebulizers that rely on the pressure of gas inside the bottle, the proposed mechanical nebulizer must push and nebulize the liquid through the mechanical compression of the dispenser.

Nebulization is the process of reducing a liquid into very small droplets, which can be achieved by passing it at high speed through narrow channels with particular geometries or by subjecting it to an air jet.

Submission requirements:

➜ Provide detailed descriptions and a series of images to present your projects effectively. The images visible in the gallery (up to 5) should have a 4:3 proportion, with accepted file formats being .jpg, .gif, or .png. The colour mode should be RGB, and the maximum size of a single file should be 1MB. For a better understanding of the project, you are encouraged to present at least one section and an exploded view of the mechanism, accompanied by a detailed description of the dispensing system’s operation. You are also invited to upload a .zip archive containing 3D files and high-resolution images of the proposals during the project upload phase. The maximum size for the .zip file is 100MB.

➜ all texts provided with your uploads (abstract, description, tags, etc.) should be written in English.

Evaluation Criteria:

The entries will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
