            Sono-Tek Offers New Ultrasonic Spray Coater for Food R&D

Milton, NY, July 16, 2007 - Sono-Tek Corporation (OTC BB: SOTK), announced today
the release of a new pilot plant scale Ultrasonic Spray Coating System - The
Universal Food Coater.

This new versatile equipment was developed in response to specific requests from
food manufacturers that observed the advantages of Sono-Tek's uniform, low flow,
ultrasonic spraying capabilities at our laboratory in a batch mode. These
manufacturers are interested in investigating further these benefits in a
continuous, pilot plant scale manufacturing capacity.

The Sono-Tek Universal Food Coater is equipped with six independently controlled
non-clogging ultrasonic atomizing nozzles, mounted in a fashion allowing
complete 360 degree coverage of the food target, at a range of liquid flow
rates. The unit is equipped with a variable width, variable speed conveyor,
allowing the flexibility for testing independently and/or in-line with other
manufacturing equipment. These features make the system ideal for optimization
of low flow spray coating processes for R&D and small production capacity needs.

The Universal Food Coater is of particular importance to Product and Process
developers in the areas of Anti-Microbial protection of Baked Goods, Fresh Cut
produce, Dairy and Meat products, and for the application of low dose
nutriceuticals, herbal extracts and natural flavors directly onto the surface of
food products.

The unit provides an important R&D tool also for other industries, where
in-line, continuous and uniform coating of expensive materials is of
significance (e.g. Electronics, Medical Devices and Specialty Chemicals).

According to Dr. Christopher L. Coccio, President and CEO, "In the last 6 months
Sono-Tek invested significant resources in introducing our technology to the
Food Industry. The launch of our Universal Food Coater will help our customers
achieve the benefits of uniform, low dose coating, which is of particular
importance with some highly potent actives applications in the food and
pharmaceutical industries. Our VP of Engineering, Dr. Joseph Riemer, will be
available later this month at the annual meeting of the IFT (Institute of Food
Technologists) in Chicago, IL, to discuss specific projects to be conducted
either at our laboratory or at customers R&D Centers".

More information on the new Universal Food Coater can be found by contacting Dr.
