An ultrasonic spraying device for atomizing a liquid and for breaking up into fine particles any solids contained in the liquid. The device comprises an acoustical horn in which ultrasonic vibration is induced by a generator and having a surface against which liquid may be impinged. The liquid is directed against the surface by one or more conduits that are external of the horn. Means is provided for adjusting the spacing and orientation of the conduits with respect to the impingement surface, for isolating the horn vibrationally from a support upon which the horn is mounted, and the impingement surface may be of several different shapes for controlling the direction in which the impinging liquid is deflected. The invention also relates to the method of utilizing an ultrasonic horn for atomizing liquids and for breaking up solids into small particles.
