Core offering

Electrostatic Spraying Systems (ESS) manufactures and sells electrostatic sprayers built around its patented MaxCharge air-atomizing induction-charging nozzle technology, invented at the University of Georgia. The product portfolio covers three application lines: Disinfection & Sanitization (hand-held and suitcase sprayers, touchless disinfection carts), Agriculture (portable, cart-mounted, and tractor-mounted row crop sprayers), and Industrial & Food Safety (truck sanitation, poultry house, meat/food processing, greenhouse systems, and the MEDS unit). All products are manufactured in Watkinsville, Georgia, and sold to commercial cleaners, healthcare facilities, airlines, schools, agricultural operators, and food processing plants in over 60 countries.

Product overview

Electrostatic Spraying Systems (ESS) manufactures a comprehensive portfolio of electrostatic sprayers under the MaxCharge brand for three application segments: Disinfection & Sanitization, Agriculture, and Industrial & Food Safety. The product line is unified by the patented MaxCharge™ "air-atomizing induction-charging" nozzle technology, which creates 30-60 micron charged droplets that wrap around surfaces for superior coverage. The disinfection lineup includes portable hand-held units (BP-1, BP2-e, XT-3), suitcase sprayers (SC-EB, SC-ET, SC-MB-e), and automated systems (TDC Touchless Disinfection Cart). Agricultural sprayers range from portable units (GPS-5, EPS-5, MBP) to tractor-mounted systems (80SR, 100SR, 150RB, 150SR, 350RC, 450RC, PTO215) and cart-mounted vineyard sprayers (GPC CART). Industrial solutions include vehicle sanitation systems, poultry house sprayers, meat/food processing sprayers, greenhouse systems, and the MEDS (Modular Electrostatic Disinfectant System) for medical and mass transit applications. All products are manufactured in the USA by this family-owned company.

Broad incumbents

• Ecolab: Ecolab is a global leader in water, hygiene, and infection-prevention solutions, including sanitization chemicals, equipment, and services for food processing, healthcare, and hospitality. It overlaps with ESS's industrial/food safety and disinfection segments but as a much broader portfolio incumbent rather than an electrostatic specialist.
• JBT Corporation: JBT provides food processing and air transport equipment, including sanitation systems for meat, poultry, and prepared foods. It competes with ESS's food safety sprayers as a much larger incumbent with full-line processing equipment and global service capabilities.

Direct peers

• Lechler: Lechler is a German-based manufacturer of precision spray nozzles for agriculture, industry, and emissions control. It is a direct competitor in agricultural sprayer nozzles, with deeper European distribution than ESS and comparable technology focus on droplet size and spray pattern quality.
• Bete Fog Nozzle: Bete is a leading manufacturer of spray nozzles for industrial and process applications, including agricultural and food processing. It competes with ESS's industrial and food-safety sprayer lines and has a much broader catalog and global distribution network.
• Victory Innovations: Victory Innovations manufactures electrostatic handheld and backpack sprayers for disinfection and sanitization. It is a direct peer in the electrostatic disinfection sprayer category that gained prominence during COVID-19, competing for the same commercial cleaning and facility customers as ESS's BP/SC series.
• ByoPlanet International: ByoPlanet manufactures electrostatic sprayers for cleaning, sanitizing, and odor control across multiple industries. It is a direct peer competing with ESS's disinfection line, often appearing in the same commercial cleaning, automotive, and hospitality RFPs.
• Spraying Systems Co. Spraying Systems Co. is the largest manufacturer of industrial spray nozzles and spray technology globally. It is the most direct competitor to ESS in agricultural and industrial spray applications, serving overlapping end-markets with broader product catalogs and deeper engineering resources.
• EMist (E-Mist Innovations): EMist produces electrostatic sprayers specifically targeting the disinfection and infection-control market. It is a direct competitor to ESS in commercial cleaning, healthcare, and education channels, with comparable product positioning around touchless disinfection.

Emerging players

• ClorDiSys Solutions: ClorDiSys provides chlorine dioxide-based decontamination services and equipment for life sciences, healthcare, and food safety. It is comparable to ESS's industrial/food safety disinfection sprayers, competing for pathogen-control budgets with a different (gas/vapor) delivery mechanism.
• EvaClean (by EarthSafe Chemical Alternatives): EvaClean produces PURTABS-based disinfection systems and electrostatic sprayers for healthcare, education, and commercial facilities. It is an emerging player competing with ESS in the electrostatic disinfection channel, often partnering with distributors that also evaluate MaxCharge products.
